I took advantage of the free version of C7Pro to upgrade Carrara, so now I'm taking baby steps to relearn it. A few questions on various things...

1. Is there a way to preview lighting in the Assembly Room to see if I'm getting the lighting setup I want?

2. Does anyone have any advice on an ideal lighting setup for renders using ToonPro? I'm importing lighting setups from DAZ Studio and they get different results using ToonPro than when I use pwToon in DS3.

3. I'm having trouble getting the ToonPro Override settings to work properly. Specifically, I want to turn off Line drawing for imported Poser hair. And eyelashes too, I guess! Might anyone have any suggestions?

4. When I import figure from DS, if it has a Bump map then Carrara just brings in as an Image file. Is that sufficient enough in most cases? What if I'd like to increase or decrease the bump strength? Should I use the Multiply Operator to increase or decrease the strength?

5. Really, I'm looking to Carrara as a more stable platform than DS. DS has been great as an alternate to Poser, but the regular DS upgrades make it difficult to use DS plug-ins from one version to the next. Would it be a worthwhile investment to upgrade from C7Pro to C8Pro? Is there some functionality that might help from one version to the next?

Sorry for the broad number of topics covered. Next time I'll try to stay specific to one subject.

Thanks in advance for any help!
