Tiff785 was kind enough to respond to my e-mail with the P5.PZ3 I was asking for. When I first got it I opened it in Poser 6, but it rendered all black. Without saving I opened it in P5, but it was missing a geometry I think, because the prop did not appear in the scene. I then saved the P5 file, with P6, opened it in P5, and it rendered this image. I think this looks pretty nice. Sorry I haven't put a decent background for everyone yet(Maybe we'll get to that when I install P4 Pro Pack tonight.) This is a definite improvement over no texture at all, much better than I've ever seen of the default texture, and all for renderosity's minimum price of just $5!

There was no postwork done here. The only thing I've changed, of the .PZ3 she gave me, is that I centered the overhead light, and brightened it to match the other two.

Tiff785 also set us straight with regard to her Promo pics, She wrote:

"The thumbnail has very mild postwork (level adjustment and light blurring), but the rest of the promos have absolutely no postwork, blurring, or "touch ups".

She then went on to offer a few pointers in regard to Render Options:

"First, make sure your "Maximum Texture Resolution" is set to 4096. Then try setting your "Minimum shading rate (pixel area)" to 0.200 or lower. I noticed that on objects with transparencies, this makes a HUGE difference! If your computer can handle it, you can decrease this number all the way down to 0.0. Something else that might help is to increase the number of "Pixel Samples" to 4.0 or 5.0. Beware, this will really increase the render time! Some other things you might try is turning off any raytracing, shadows, displacement, or bump maps on the wings. I never used any of these in the promos. The wings should look fine with depth mapped shadows, but the raytraced shadows might look too harsh."

Acadia - That is a very nice image you've rendered! How are your render settings, are they similar to what Tiff785 has suggested? If not, would you post a screenshot of your Render Options window?

randym77 is correct, Tiff785 believes the best render engine to use is the one she used when creating the wings, which is Poser 4 with Pro Pack.

I'll be installing Poser Pro Pack sometime shortly, as soon as I do I'll be sure to return here with my results!
