Anyone know where I can find a glossy shader? I've pulled a figure into C3 via TransPoser, and I'd like to create some glossy lips.

I don't know of any good lipstick shaders for C3, but I have a question. Does Transposer import the Poser eyewhite/eyeballs o.k., or do you have to fix the transparency or delete anything to make the eyes look o.k.?

Transposer is excellent, I've had to decrease the strength of the bump maps in C3. I just adjusted the bump maps and added a glow value to the eyewhites and irises. The render is using global illumination.

The above image is still a WIP. The eyes seem a little flat and lifeless.

Apply the body/lip bump map to the Shininess channel of the Lip layer list. Then slide the intensity slider until you acheive the effect you want. Mark

Umm I'm a rookie here when it comes to Carrara shaders. Just how do you do that? :)

You click on the lips or head, then you open the materials room, find the lips shader, expand it, then find the shininess channel and load the lip_bump.jpg (or whatever) into that channel.
