skin change when added to a room

cm152335

I noticed strange change depend of the scene,,

There is the story,
I created two girls with visually good skin, (white skin close to natural)
In creation of those two girls i do some test with or without lights and result on my eyes was good,

Now, I load room scene and then i insert my two girls in the scene (via merge)

I do a test render and there,,
- The two girls render with different skin result, One become almost burned by sun,,
The other show more white and some reflection (like wet) and no any girl show natural skin like I created!
I check all lights, ,,,
I deleted all lights and created new,,
I check if any shader are done with scene,,
I check the SHOW HIDDEN,,
- - - - nothing found,,

! Always the render was bad result on skin !

There is why I am turn to crazy!

- I do some more test,,

The same girls in the same room scene,
but first I load the girls and then I merge the scene room,,
Skin created of girls was correct! Without change any light!

Why this?
Why rooms without any shader or any specific effect affect the skin?

i put as attachement and link to my FTP

the scene is same, not any change at lights or any other effect, just load and merge

- left, the girls are merge to the room
- right, the room is merged!

The camera has also obviously changed between the two. Are you sure the lights (and cameras) are not being replaced when you merge the scene? Also, note that render settings and environment settings are saved with the scene file - if oen has gamma 1 and one has gamma 2.2, say, that would make a noticeable difference (as would the setting of the gamma Correction button).

i have no camera, just perspective view

the change is due because i try to catch same picture but i had no save previous set or pose!

just move my view and take render!

i try different view ,, renew the light,, result is same

is depend in if i "load" the scene first or "merge" scene after girls

in the two previous picture the scene and the girls have no change juste load/merge
and i try this several time to check if this is permanent problem

the problem is permanent,
always girls "merge "into the scene affect their skin saved

after the render,
i deleted the room completely, (include lights) and keep only the girls, the render is same,
some skin parameter is not take into load when i load the girls after the scene room

note1: some part are not affected and keep saved preset (e.g. teeth, nails, eyes)
only the "SKIN" of booth girls is affected,,,

note2:
the right picture is more correct (for me) girls are show as they are saved!
could be more better result playing with lights, but the problem is, - why skin are changes with MERGE feature!?

note3:
F2 preferences, scene load, all options are 'IGNORE'
picture show the girls 'saved'
without any light or any other effect!
