Hi people,
How do I get the hair in poser not to glow as if it is lit by other lights ?
If I have the body lighting right the hair is way to bright , and if the hair is lit right then the body is to dark .
any hints please

Well, I can think of two things. One is you render them seperately and then shop the hair onto the body in postwork.
The other idea and this is just a guess because I've never used that feature is gather (check the stickies on the top of the forum for links to it). If you could use a dark enough color or a negitive one, that might work. Or you could use a lot of tiny, dark point based lights with a very close max distance, but that could be a ton of work depending on the hair you chose.
I'd suggest doing it in post work. To make it easier, do it against a green or blue background and delete the links to the texture on facial regions and make them the same color as your background.
WARK!

thanks winterclaw
I already do them in Photoshop now after doing 2 renders, 1 lighting setup for the body and the second for the hair
I was hoping that i just had a setting wrong some where , seems if you put lights behind the figure all the hair glows , the light doesn't know there is a head blocking it , backlighting is not very good in poser .
