Ok, thank you - that explains why the light seems different. Seems to me that bump maps are the easier solution.

Now I have a third favourite fabric *gg* Gorgeous!

A freebie with your fabrics would be much appreciated, but I too would be very willing to pay for them.

Oh, I'm sorry, that was physical surface node, I forgot to mention. I still don't really know how to set up cycles.

 I also had strange things with normal maps for skins... the skin seemed darker somehow.

Ok, but that means I would skip the normal map and use bump. At least I know how that works and I can finetune the outcome with it's value.

Are there any whisperings as to when poser14 might be released? I'm still on Poser 12 and considering to upgrade in the next 2 month or so, but it would be very annoying if I did that and and a few days later Poser 14 was released.

They all look great! But this one and the tartan are my favourites so far.

Thank you for the advice! Just found this site and am playing around with the textures riight now. There are really some nice looking ones.

There are some material collections with quite a variety of different materials:

Vincebagnas materials can easily changed colour-wise, and ghostship's have options to plug in textures - especially useful for older dlothing textures.

I'm certainly not too old and lazy for DAZ. And sometimes I do envy them their content. But, would I swich now, I'd rather not calculate how much money I spent on content I'll never use again, and how much I'd  need to spend to have the choice of content I now have for poser available for DAZ. Even not considering content, as I understand, that although DAZ itself is free there are quite some (more or less) necessary addons that are not. To swich programs now is not an option financially. And there may be many more valid reasons besides "being old and lazy".

Kelp hair by Arki

is very long (and free!) and can be twisted to do the modesty thing. The colour options are limited, though, because it is ment to look like a mermaid's hair. Might need some postwork in the breast area to make the hair denser.

It's rather old and made for V4.

There is a colour expansion pack:

I started playing a bit with the lite version. So no morphs, no nothing.  I tried to see how far I'd come with just adjusting and scaling the expression chips (and neck x.scale). This is where I landed. I think her already looks quite different from the original shape, although there are limitations - no chance to get rid of the chin cleft, and the forms of eye and nose stay basically the same. But the possibility of scaling and adjusting chips should be taken in account when asking wether he can be morphed out of shape. The same is true for La Femme, La Femme 2 and L'Homme, by the way. I tend to forget that, too.

On the left - "morphed version", on the right - original shape.

Wow, thank you so much!

That seems to work well in the free version. Thankl you very much!

To be honest I like the physical surface render much more, the other looks more flat.

I didn't even know that place existed...

but the casual clothing set is on ReRo also

Okay, so I didn't get him yet and probably won't because I find I rarely use male figures - and if I do, I have M4, Dusk and L'Homme to choose from (with already to little clothing so in the end I most times end up with M4, because I have more content for him to choose from), but... I also was astonished about the lack of promotion. I mean, I don't know if something went on on social media, I rarely use them. But ... not even something on  the ReRo front page? Or was I just blind? But should it not just jump out at me? I mean, what's a promotion if I have to go and acitively look out for it?
