Here is another copy in the jpeg format. The skin doesn't look smooth and nice like everyone else's picture.

It looks mostly like a texture problem. Other than jpg compression (which I'm assuming came along after conversion since you originally posted this as a .bmp) you'll want some textures. Unfortunately, you don't see many good textures for the children figures. Depending on what images in particular you're looking at, also, it might have something to do with postwork or a different renderer. Some of us render in programs other than Poser, and many do postwork on a picture to make it look better and more realistic. That I can't help you with, since I'm not very good with postwork myself. Hope this helps, and I hope you can understand my ramblings.. it's late. =) Rosh

Was it rendered on Poser ? Cast Shadows are on ? Cast Shadows sometimes shows ugly stains on the textures...
