This should correct the issue. If the bump is set at default for light sets such as Warm and Soul Lights, then an odd shadow effect may result in the throat of the flower or on some flower petals. To correct this, try centering the light source. If the flowers have dark centers, try tilting the prop slightly towards the light source. For stamens when using the Pyrostamen settings try hitting them with a spotlight or using a lowlight rim setting for maxium effect Daz Studio Users: I find the flowers tend to work best with default lighting in Daz Studio, and using intermediate OpenGL if you are rendering without a Nvidia card, but you may find other lighting and render settings work better for you. I found the Pyrostamen settings work best in lowlight settings with a rimlight and moderate Iray bloom for maxium effect, or you can hit them with a spotlight. General tips for Product Use: The Pyrotechnics set is designed for use in low light settings or normal light settings. The hot or glowing effects for the stamens and bright colors will give your low light or dark renders an added hot or sparkler type effect to accentuate and highlight your main image. Overlays can be applied after the render has been run in a graphics editing program like Photoshop. To maximize the effects, render your main image using low level lighting or rim lights. Then run a second render with only a few flowers, using the pyro settings or brighter light settings and combine the two in your graphics editor. Once that is done, use the overlays to add an extra snap, crackle, and pop fireworks effect to your render images. To add a soft glowing effect to overlays in Photoshop, go to layer/layer style/soft glow/ and select the color you would like to use. You can adjust the size and distance using the feature settings. The most important things I can tell you are to have fun, create, and don't be afraid to experiment! -------------------------------------- Files Included in the Product: Poser Version:
