Sorry for the delay, but I was in Chicago for a week. The clip with particles was done in Electric Image. The bass obj/mat was brought into a .fact file format with Obj2Fact, maintaining the uv coordinates. As to the maxillae problem, I'm not sure what that is. In some of Poser's stock lighting layouts, the white belly and jaw came off gray. This was solely a lightling problem. The maxilla does have some scales coming down into the white "lip", but as I stated in the READme, if this is left such, it comes off as a tear when the mouth/maxilla is extended; thus the near solid color. Good luck. manowar
