This was rendered in Poser 4 with no post except to add my signature. Evolution 1 is fantastic! Thanks Steven aka torino! She's sitting on an elarged morphing pillow (by Anson) with a red leather texture applied to it. And, yes, there are a couple of weird black patches in it. Who knows why? I was really trying to illustrate how great the Eve figure is, so I didn't want to do any post. The things behind her are just cylinders. I was playing with transparency. Hair is the windblown hair by I believe Eric Westray. Sorry, it's an old download and I've lost track of the creator. If anyone knows different, please correct me.

I've seen those black patches appear on Poser4 renders from MAC users, would you be one? Nice image...and BTW I Morphed the windblown hair props ;-) There's a whole new version coming out soon... actually three new hair morph sets. -Jeff H.

Yes, I would be a Mac user. I wonder why it would only happen on Macs? Sorry about the hair credit. It gets harder and harder to keep track of all the downloads. Great morphs!

Not true. I'm a PC user and I've gotten those black splotches quite often. I tend to use the two terrain props from Poserworld and more often than not, I'd get those black triangles In any regards, that's a wonderful image there. I've never thought about using the cylinders in that way with the transparencies. Cool =^) Tina

Great image Diane.....I get those black spots all the time in P4 and I guess a lot of the old downloads at Poserworld have them too, i don't know what they are but if I import the obj into cinema then export again they go away?....Tina do they always appear in the same place?.....Steve

I'm not sure. I tend to rotate and rescale the terrains each time, but I believe it's consistly showing up in crevaces (sp?) like between two peaks. I've made do by removing them in post render. maybe Poser doesn't like it when we scale models/objects up too much. Tina

I thought it was caused by booleaning but it can't be as the tearrains gave none....I'll have to do some experiments :o0....thanks Tina.....Steve

The patches usually occur from one of two things: 1) The polygon is flipped (even when double-sided you can get a black area - go figure) 2) The polygon doesn't exist - if it was on the figure and not the prop I'd say this is the culprit. There are some pretty stupid "holes" on a few of the Poser figures Nice image at any rate.
