Man, it's disappointing when you buy something, and it's not what you thought it was.

Take, for instance, the last two products I bought: 'Eden' by Rhiannon and 'Jose' by Shahara. They look SO GOOD in the promo shots (on the left), yet this is how they render up on my machine (on the right). I know it's a lighting problem, but the vendors both supplied no light sets. I've tried my best to make them look like the promo shots, to no avail. When I increase the lights for Jose, his detail starts washing out (no more furry butt!) and for Eden, no matter what I do, her stomach and shoulders stay green. I've emailed and instant messaged the vendors, and have gotten no response. I've even purchased the Radiance Pro light system that Rhiannon said in her ad that she used, and none of the lights in that set make Eden look that way.

I hate wasting money. I love the promo shots, and if they would only supply items that rendered up JUST LIKE THE PROMO SHOTS, I would be happy! I think that if you can't recreate the promo shot, Renderosity should not allow the vendor to sell it. Does anyone have any idea what I can do... besides ask Renderosity for a refund? I've got a few 'this is what you want, this is what you get' disappointments I've purchased from them recently. :-(
