Hi All.  I noticed the nice VUE version done by fellow Rendo member JCD, and contacted JCD about a possible Poser version.  On my own, I had been trying to get a satisfactory night-time cityscape material setting without success.   After we had made contact, we agreed to each trying out possible Poser settings. 

I have some preliminary renders using 3DS and OBJ cityscapes imported into Poser 7.  My main observation is that the result depends very much on how Material Zones are set up ( or not set up ) in the mesh.   If there is just one material zone, no matter how complex the mesh is, the applied texture just won't work.

Also, my basic "formula" for using JCD's City Nights Mats in Poser is very simple, and no doubt others will improve on it.  I will show screen captures of my settings.

The first render shows the most acceptable result - using KidAcE's 3DS format CityBuildings imported into Poser.
