I received offers for help on my plight, and as much as I would like to have help, this is something I need to learn how to do on my own (sorta). I got the procedure down for making the mat poses, but now my problem is, that the *.png files don't show up correctly. What am I doing wrong now...sigh? For those that have offered their assistance - and you know who you are...THANK YOU SO MUCH ALREADY FOR YOUR HELP...YOU'VE BEEN GREAT!

Geep did a tutorial on how to get those to show up correctly, but I don't remember which tutorial. whole discussion on the "I dunno guy". Here is a link to some of his tutorials in pdf format, they are really valuable to keep around. try searching a few of the geep threads in the poser forum and see if you can come up with it. sorry, 'bout as close to I can come up with an answer.

Make sure your Mat file and your Png are named exactly the same.

if you make an image to show your mat pose...just render one out, at a square ratio,....then take the render to your image editor, photoshop, photopaint, whatever, re-size it to 91x91 pixels, and apply an active mask over the whole image. then save as type .png, with the same name exactly as the corresponding .pz2 file. This allows you to place a good image into a thumbnail for the libraries. hope this helps

You can put a white square prop ( or whatever color you wnat it to be in the background) Set your scree size to a square ratio like andix said (500x5000 Then render it at 91x91 in the render options. Save the render as a .png to teh EXACT file name as the pose file and your gorgeous set will soon be in the marketplace. Good Luck.
