I looked briefly for the answer to this, but couldn't find one right off the bat, so I figured I'd ask... When you have a figure that you've created with props and textures added to it and you want to save it in your library, you open your library to where you want to save and click the little (+) and it adds it. Yeehaw. Well, the figures that came installed with Poser don't have the ugly background box around them when you look at them in the library - they are just a figure floating with that darkened circle behind them and shadows on the ground. To me, it just looks a lot nicer. Well, my question is, how do I get that look? I've downloaded figures that have that look to them as well, so I know it's possible for us wee folks to do it, but was wondering how. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Byterunner

Ok! I wiil repeat it since i can't remember the tread. My technique: 1. window size 800x600 2. Face camera(100mm)- put face in left half of window, render, export image. 3. Import image as background, choose Main camera 4. Make the whole figure visible in right half of window, render, export image again. 5. import as background. Voila! Just move camera so nothing obstructs the backround, save to library! Oh! Uncheck AntiAlias, Shadows & Bump Maps in Render Options (IT's quicker, and you won't notice it anyway on small pic) Hope this helps! Marc

or set screen colour to 32 bit and that will sort it.

You can also select paste as background, move the camera so it's no longer viewing your actual figure and then save it. Read that in a thread here, too, but forgot which one. The circle will still show up but your figure will have all the rendered transparencies/textures viewable.
