My experience with imported skin shaders has been that the biggest problem is some sort of wild misunderstanding of the highlight nodes. I brought Miki in with Samyra textures and Traveller's shaders, and she looked like she had been soaked in Mazola (and her displacement setting gave her major goosebumps). I never did find a setting that corrected the highlight problem entirely. Has anyone played inside the Car file, with an eye to writing a Python converter that would import Poser shaders with necessary adjustments? And does ShadeStyler (on sale I think) offer tools that bring Carrara skin up to Poser potential? Mick
