I think that I have the relative positions of the mesh and the df3 
exported correctly.
I wish I had taken the time to give her some pants. The model looks like 
someone I once worked with. I'm beginning to feel like a pervy stalker. :(

I've had to change the ratios of the R, G & B channels each time I've 
made a new set of df3's.

I'll post the df3 files if anyone wants to play with them.

I have been thinking that emissive media are not influenced by the 
container scale or are they? I seem to remember that obly scattering is 
influenced...

I don't know. I'll find out after I've finished playing Dressing Dolls. ;)

How many Pov units to a meter, in your scene?

I cheated with the clothes. I really need to export the scene from poser 
again as a unit.

How are you combining the 3 different channels of media?
I tried defining 3 boxes with different colored interiors, and it seems that the
current box seems to "overwrite" the previous box.

Drat this blasted media thing !!!!
You kids and your fancy new-fangled gadgetry.
Never satisfied with the simpler things in life.
When I was a kid, we didn't even have spheres to render with - we had amorphous
rocks with whatever texture was available.  And they were all drab.
And it was good enough for us.  AND we liked it.

"Media."   Harrrumph!

The youth of today. :P

They say a picture is worth a thousand lines of code. Well at least I do.

I use three media in one interior.
I would post the code but it is messy. I have to overwrite the code 
Bishop3d exports with the code modified to run direct from Pov.
Both Bishop3d and Moray export a pov file for each frame and it takes 
PovRay 16 seconds to save the scene. Creating the tga files to make the 
df3's would take Bishop3d about an hour and a half to export 100 frames 
times 3 for each channel.

What's up with her left forearm?  It looks seriously fractured.

Ah! I did not notice that until about an hour ago.
I think that it was caused by the left arm having the Inverse Kinematics 
flag set in Poser when I applied the standard pose. It can cause 
discontinuities. I will correct it when I next go into Poser to do a 
final export.
And if I remember I will remove that setting from the defaults. <Grrr>
