Greetings all. I'm having a problem rendering in Poser 6 Firefly, I'm getting strange little black marks and lines appearing, mainly around the eyes and nose where there are small wrinkles on the models face. These black marks are clearly rectangular, and so I assume are related to the polygons making up the model (which is Victoria 3, by the way). These marks are not on the texture, and do not appear when I render in Poser 4. I've been experimenting for 2 days now with different settings, and I'm at my wit's end! The attached pic shows them at their most reduced, the best results I've been able to get. Other settings have increased them to the size of large geometric bars that look painted on the face. Does anyone have any experience of this, or does anyone know what causes this, and what I can do to correct it? It's clearly something to do with the settings, but I've run out ideas! If it's any help, the bump map is set at 15%. I've noticed that the marks disappear when the bump is set at 100%, but then the face is way to bumpy for what I want. The lower the bump setting, is closer to the texture effect I want, but the greater the marks. 'Normals Forward' is checked: that seemed to make a difference, but has not got rid of them completely. I'm using Poser 6.0.2.118 on a Mac. Please help!
