One thing that plagues a lot of Poser work are the form shadows that appear on each side of the nostrils. Although this is a normal lighting effect, artistically it looks terrible to have two shadows of equal weight on each side of the nose. It seems to cause a "bulls eye" effect that is very distracting.

I have tried various lighting sets, and manually positiong lights to fill in that shadow area on one side. Not only is this very time consuming, but I rarely get good results. Has anyone found a quick and reliable fix for this problem?

I was kicking around the idea of trying Environment Creator. If I could recreate the lighting condictions of an overcast day, that should reduce the shadow intensity.

Actually, what I find more distracting is the lightness of the nostrils--why don't more people use the "nose fog" product that's available on Renderosity? Or post-work the lightness out?
