Again, what version of Poser are you using? In Poser 4, go to the Render Settings and make sure the option for "Render over background picture" is checked. In P5 and P6, make sure you attach your background image to the "BackgroundColor" node, NOT directly to the "PoserSurface" node. There is still a bug in Poser which causes any nodes attached to the Background's PoserSurface node to become disconnected (except the "BackgroundColor" node). This happens as soon as you leave the Material Room, which is why backgrounds may not render correctly. Even if you delete the "BackgroundColor" node (thinking it's not needed), it will re-appear when you go back into the Material Room. The solution is set the "BackgroundColor" node to white and attach your nodes to it- whether it's a 2d image or something more complex. As a side note, even if you click the "Remove Detached Nodes" Wacro button (to delete the "Background Movie" node and such), these nodes will be re-created when you re-enter the Material Room. They won't be attached to anything, but they'll still be there. --John
