This is so bizarre... I'm obviously doing something wrong... If I render a from the preview window and export the image as a png I get a great looking pic with an alpha channel... if I export the whole sequence as a series of png's via the "make movie" (still images) option I get a series if still images that feature just the shadowy outline of the objects, but no image of the figure itself! What am I doing wrong?

Make Movie can be set to use its own render options, not necessarily what you see in the preview - it looks as if you're in silhouette mode there. What version of Poser is this?

This is Poser 6 --- it works fine if I just make a png movie file, but does this weird outline thing if I try to use the image sequence option -- both png and tiff...
