Hi SmallFry, Yep, it's easy to do in Carrara. The easiest way is to use the ShaderOps Fake Fresnel plug-in from Digital Carvers Guild (www.digitalcarversguild.com) There are some other ways to do it but it takes a little more work in the Shader Room. BTW, the Vargas work is usually pretty unsaturated except for lips and eyes. So, to emulate that effect in Carrara, the light sources need to be low and the ambient lighting around 50% or so. Every scene will need to be lit a little differently but that's a start. For the two skins I simply multiplied in a red to one and added in white to the other. Mark
