Can anyone explain to me why this effect is happening when i apply a bmp file to V3 head part? I get nasty black lines in the creves of her face...i.e. Eyelids, nose around mouth and eyebrows...The bmp file is set to 0.1 and when i turn it up the problem gets worse the black lines get larger...when i take off the bmp file the problem dissappears...there is nothing wrong with the bmp file i made it was made from the tex file and isnt particulary strong. I applied the file in the materials room in poser surface bump. Not Gradient. And used one light to speed up rendering to test it out. The light used ray traced shadows and the firefly enging used ray tracing. poser 5 has the latest SR3.
