Poser Thumbnails of Transparent Parts -

When saving a character, prop, pose, or any library item that includes transparency, Poser will not show the part affected at all in the thumbnail (this usually affects hair with a transparency map). To show a thumbnail of the intended result, save the library item in the folder you choose, then go into "Render Options" and choose a new 91x91 window (your regular work window needs to already be a square). Render the image, including the appropriate transparency settings, and then save the final 91x91 image as a PNG file; locate the folder in which your character or prop was saved, and simply overwrite the existing PNG file there. Afterward, your new thumbnail will appear, with any parts that include tranparency rendered correctly, and it will even have the familiar drop shadow :-D.
