Hi All I have stay away from Studio because of the learning curve.I felt it was just way to much trouble But I do like the The quality of the renders of studio.So I decided to give it another shot.Boy I feel like banging my head against the wall now...LOL... So I guess I have a few questions to the pros who have mastered Studio.I hope you guys could help me here. 1.Can you import BVH files into studio. 2.Can you get Studio to read your Poser 4 runtime or do you have to install everything into studio. 3.How can you conform Hair,I found how to conform Clothes in the Manuel but not hair. 4.This is the biggie for me I couldn't find how to save my render into a Image,,Jpeg,Gif etc.... Thank you for any help with these questions.I sure once these are answered I'll have more in the future...LOL PS:Sorry if these questions sound dumb:)

Hello Artistheat and welcome back. I'll see if I can help some here. 1. Don not know 2. go to 'edit' -> 'preference' on the directory tab select from the dropdown window "poser content directory" click 'ADD' and select the path to your Poser content. 3. when you go to add the hair figure make sure the model you want it to conform to is selected, it should automatically go into place. If that doesn't work they have a smart parent action in the scene sub windows, but I'm not sure how it works. 4. go to 'file' -> "save last render" and save in desired format. Hope this helps:) Stew

Okay Stew.Thanks that answers some of my questions:) So Studio can't do animation or is there another way of doing this?

In the latest build they have added the animation feature, but I'm still trying to make somewhat decent stills. Haven't ventured into animation as of yet.

For smart parent, select the body part (in this case, the head), hold down the ctrl key to also select the object (in this case, the hair). Then click the little arrow to the right of the "scene" window heading, and choose "smart parent" from the menu. Some of the hair I've had to fiddle with to get it to position right, but most of it works with parenting.

If you have poser, you might be able to load in a pz3 that has animation in it, though I havent tested it so I don`t know if it will work.

Studio animation is still very rudimentry, there are plans to expand the animation capabilitys by quite a bit. but at this point the push is to get the basic program functioning solidly before adding the other features that are in the works. I think the other questions have been answered pretty fully so I won't add anything to them.
