Hello,

I have a question please about lighting and reflections in Poser 6.

I have noticed that when I attempt to do a reflection, the forehead of the figure has lines on it, giving it a look of having brains outside the head or what I call a Klingon forehead. I notice this just on the forehead part of the face.

Any ideas of what may be done to prevent this? The friendly manual gets me more confused than ever chuckles

So far I am able to get rid of the forehead stuff with some postwork.

Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards,
Nancy (SophiaDeer)

Looks to me like it's reflecting bits of the hair that should be transparent. You can see them down the sides of the face too. I'd say that's a bug, worthy of reporting to CL tech support.

Another thing I've noticed it that Poser 6 can't deal with bumps in the reflections. I have to disconnect the bump map in the material room.

Thank you both so much for your replies.

Try scaling up the whole scene 1000 times the size, including the camera and all the objects etc. Then render. If you load a primitive cube and then parent all the scene items to that you can scale the scene up easily without losing the camera angle etc.

Thank you xantor for that suggestion.

You get a similar problem in poser 5 sometimes with reflections and scaling the scene up fixes it.

The problem is something to do with the poser objects being very small and firefly can`t render the reflections so small.
