Poser 5 can be a bit tricky at first, and you might want to check previous threads here bout various problems. 1- You MUST have the SR2.1 patch from CL installed. Previous versions have too much stability issued to be useful. 2- The squared pattern is caused by double-sided polygons. Go into your material room and link the texture you are applying to the back wall not only to the "diffuse" and "specular" node, but also to the "displacement" node. set the displacement value very low (0.0001 for instance). There is a neat tutorial about this on Kozaburo's site. Do this for every group that poses a problem before rendering and you should ne OK. 3- I cannot help you for the cloth room and animations. Sorry. There is a great tutorial about cloth room in Phil C's site. Hope this helps Compiler
