Hiya Vlad!

Thanks for the thorough reply. I actually checked out that post at CGTalk and tried it out but got stuck at this place...

---> 14. Navigate your way to the Shading Group node of the Misss_fast_simple_maya (so you can see all the MR shader slots).

I may still be a newbie of sorts but I'm no Maya dummy. I keep trying to locate the Shading Group and I get lost. I'm actually considering sticking with 6.0 until I find out 6.5 is worth the money. I said earlier I'd already updated to 6.5 but I meant that I'd considered it... just haven't committed to making that leap yet. I had access to it though. I'm kind of impressed. I'm still using 6.0 and I'm using Light Engine's SubScatter and it looks great but I'm still having trouble even getting that one to work right. My PC keeps crashing on me everytime I try to render. Thanks for your time and help though. I appreciate it a lot.
