Hi Sachiko and everyone else helping in this matter

Thanks for the suggestion about making the background just a little
less than white.  In
the color picker I made the L : 98 % and kept the  H: and S: 0 and I
got this result

if I make the L: 100% then it shows as

http://www.dmontoya.com/img/Lab-R2.jpg

So it is exactly as you said.  I can make the background color any
other color without a
problem,  I haven't tried using the specular selection yet, but I
image that if the specular is
turning all white that is why it is showing up black in Illustrator
too.

I also found out why I was getting the wacky colors when I saved
sometimes to Illustrator.

The first to Jpegs are the same as this one below but originally I
had a lot more lighting.  
After I turned the lighting down (I had about four lights pretty
bright)  the image looks like
Lab-R3.

I also got rid of the infinite plane and just used a regular plane
for the floor,  Thanks for
that suggestion Steve.  So Now, I understand how the fill and
lighting work a lot better
thanks everyone.  I just wonder if they are going to find out why the
background color
saves as Black when it is asigned 100% white.

Also, I hope they figure out why you need to use fill.  Originally I
just wanted to do what I
was doing in VS 1 but have control of the line weight.  Basically
asigning the Object outline
and having a white background.  I first tried this and got a
completely black image in the
preview and in Illustrator.  When you just use the Object Outline
without FILL I can't get
just an outline of the object with a white background. When you
change the background
color to white the preview then changes from all black to the proper
image [white
background with black lines] , but it still shows up in Illustrator
as all black.  

It doesn't matter what the lighting is or what file I use or if I
create a new file, everytime I
use Outline object  without fills and with any color background  in
VS 2 I always get a
100% black image in Illustrator.  I am using VS 2.1 on a PowerMac
dual 1.25 G4 with 1.5
gb memory.  Maybe I am still doing something wrong, I am very very
much still a nuub at
3D.  Thanks for all the help so far I'll use fills for now.

I thought about toon pro too.  Cuz someone had suggested it before
when I was trying to
render in non-photorealistic but since I'm doing comic pages and
might want to have a
scene bigger or smaller in a different panel or page I think it might
be better to use
VectorStyle cuz then I can just make the vector to my liking without
worring if I made the
initial dpi big enough.  My comic pages are high rez so it usually
takes longer I think to
render high rez images in non-photo then with VS.

Hope this is helping other people too.  Thanks for the help so far
again
