I have poser 5, so I can't do the render in layers thing. The best I can do is set up the scene, save as a .pz3 file and then hide or delete all the figures and background and render 1 figure at a time. Then assemble it in PSP. Poser 6 has some appealing features, but I have so much to learn that Poser 5 is fine for now. Perhaps in a year when I've learned more I'll upgrade. Thanks Anton, I'll check that link. I'm having a blast rendering Halloween stuff :)

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
