i've been working on fixing the Elven princess gown, but while in poser i came across a strange problem. strange blacks spots all over the skirt. it looks awful in poser, but isn't even there is DS. any idea what it is?

looks like a concave face or non-planar facet. Can you still see it when rendered?

Yes unfortunetly it's still there when i render it in poser.

try 'normals forward'    and then try turning shadows off for the dress. See what happens.

You also have white spots.

Yes i have spots of both colors, how to i turn normals forward? 

I made a new skirt, and that seemed to fix the problem, but it doesn't have such a nice UV map as the other. so i'd like to see if i can fix the problem, if not, oh well.

You do normals forward in the materials.

Try turning the crease angle for that object waaaaay up, like 180. It looks like what's happening is some of the polys are getting creased while others are not.

How do i do that? sorry i'm not that firmilier with all the points of poser.

On the Object's Properties Tab there is an Crease Angle setting. The default value is 80. You can change the default value in prefrences. That would effect every thing new from that point forward.

Hm. No luck, thanks though.

Did you render?
Crease angle is only calculated at render time.
I would start by normals forward and crease angle at 180 and render.

You can set crease angle for every part in the parameters palette, or for the whole scene.
Goto General preferences, and set the crease angle there. 'default is always 80 but you can go to 180.

But from here, it looks more like a problem in the mesh.

Yeah i think it was the mesh, i made a new one, and it seemed to be ok, so i think it was just something in the old skirt. Thanks for all the help!
