I recently purchased the Portrait Studio product from this store, and have started to play.
I firstly set up and saved a very rudimentary scene containing Michael 4 in Poser. I say "rudimentary" to mean default lights, default Michelangelo stance, default skin texture etc etc
I saved this scene, and then went into Vue. I opened up Portrait Studio, and then imported the M4 scene. I used all of the defaults (i.e. did not change any light color, position) except for zooming the Main Camera into his face.
Then I rendered. The problem that I ended up with is one that I haven't seen since the Poser 5 days. The old "flashlight in the nostrils" effect. Also, the subject also seemed to have "radioactive teeth" (i.e. glowing whiter-than-white). In Poser, we have come a long way to fix this using ambient occlusion and other effects. Here, I looked at my render options, but couldn't work out what was going on.
I was told that I should install the Light Tune module, which I did, but the problem remained.
I have played around with the light settings, but have not found a solution.
Another problem --> the documentation states that there are three cameras in Portrait Studio - the main, the face and the high-angle cameras. However, in my world browser, only the main camera shows up.
I have shot off a message to the author of Portrait Studio regarding these issues, and am awaiting a reply. This was almost 2 days ago.

Andrew
