Someone asked in the chatroom recently how to do realistic latex in Poser. Maybe everyone else has already figured this out, but after screwing around with it for a good hour I came up with a recipe that I think produces decent results.

Instead of making the bodysuit black, I made it very dark grey. This added more variations of grey/black to the bodysuit, which I think looks a bit better. The highlight is set to white, and is low, about 20%. I added a reflection map (just a black and white photograph wrapped around a sphere) set to 100 strength. The problem with using reflection maps on a transmapped figure (bodysuit trans from Creed3D) is that the reflections translate to the skin no matter what I did, so I had to do postwork to remove the wet look from the skin.

Anyway, just a silly little tip, in case anyone is interested.
