Poser6 reflections - HELP!!! :)
the good news - i finally figured out how to do a reflection! the bad news - her skin looks like crap... and i am totally clueless what happened... i have no idea what to tweak next and everything i've tried has been worse than this...
here are the material settings on the floor -
i am using the Primitive Square Hi-Res in this particular go round, which for some strange reason is listing as a cloth something or other.
my render settings, since it's entirely possible that's what i've messed up!!
any help at all is very much appreciated!!!!

What I do is load my cloth plane, resize/color/texture and in P6 using the simple settings window in the mat room I hit add reflection and set the color / value after. So not sure what ya are doing there , I not much help *cry*

of all the stupid....
after messing and messing and messing with this, resetting and resetting and resetting...
it was the skin texture.
i kid you not - once i switched the skin tex, the darn thing rendered like it was supposed to.
*grrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

i knew it was the skin texture lol
it had displacement or something wrong.
i think you need to upgrade your p6 to the latest SR to fix that.
also, reflections won't show up on auto settings because "raytracing" isn't enabled. you have to tick that or they won't show up.
