This started out has just an experiment with Poser Pro 2012's indirect lighting and new Subsurface Skin node. It was going to be a comparison pic using the same pose as the last Starfire pic, but then I got carried away with tweaking other things and saw Heckfire's journal about how messed up she is in the DCnU, so I decided to try to give her a pose from one George Perez's old pics. This is what I ended up with.
EDIT 9/26/11: Tweaked the lighting.

Indirect lighting was way too slow in the last version of Poser to be usable, but it's much faster now. I didn't do much to play with it. I just hit the indirect lighting check box in the Render Settings. So instead of having to set up extra lights to fake the ambient light in a scene, I just had my one infinite light for the sun and let indirect lighting do the rest.
Yeah, I see what you mean. I'm pretty sure it's the new lighting I was trying, since I didn't change the material for her outfit from the last pic I did of her. They're already reflective, and I think the indirect lighting which is supposed to figure out the ambient light created by light bounced off of objects around her made them sort of doubly reflective.
