This is the victoria model with bump mapping, texture, and normal lighting effects. Why the hell does it look so screwed? Look at the right side of her mouth and the back of her head. What am I doing wrong?

Think it looks like the same thing that happened to picnic .. the tif file for the bump map needs to be reloaded so it comes in as a bump map. Think it makes a difference normally but not in the Pro Pack .... do that and you should be golden

Whoa... Do what? I'm not using any TIF files that I know of. And how would I reload it?

Thought this was the new Vicki map .. if so there is a good chance it comes in as a tif for the bump .. what you can do it turn the bump to none and then load them again. you might need to quit, that will purge it from memory and then load .. it will then convert it to a bump. Som of the smudging also looks to be a shadow map on the lights ..increase the thing from the default of map size 256 to something like 700 or more ...that should nuke most smudging
