I'm having troubles with M4.  I use V4.2 a LOT in my Bryce scenes and she does well.  But, when I attempt to use M4, there are problems:  Initially, he was almost "glowing" and I found (through help on Bryce Forum) that his ambience was all the way up (100), so I turned it down to 20 (about average for most objects) and he comes out better, but has new problems (as in the attatchment).

This is a full render under Bryce 5.5.  No other figures have this issue (I have used Stephanie, Laura, Maddie and Mat, as well as V4 and V3).  No problems, except M4.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Have you tried to apply Materials SMPL-Res on the M4 before sending it to Bryce?
I had the same problem the first time I used the M4 in Bryce, the second time I used this material and made everything right.
Sorry for my poor english.

 Ah!  No, I haven't, but I'll give it a try...  Thanks Jefferson!

And your english is just fine!

 Ah Jefferson!  Right on target...  I'm embarrassed at such an obvious answer, too...

Thank you very much!  I can finally have 2 genders in my scenes!  :-)

I'm happy to have helped.
