Subject: Poser 7 Movie Settings.

Hi, I'm back again.

I'm once again having trouble and I need someones help.

Under the Make Movie tab, I'm try to render each frame in images using Poser 4 settings. But, for some reason, the render settings is actually lower quality than the actual Poser 4 render. So, is there a way that I can make it render exactly the same way as it does when you render a image outside the "Make Movie" option.

I'm basically making a animation, but I'm trying to render each frame in .png format.

I guess the images doesn't render with Antialias on.

I've found that the P4 renderer for movies is just plain broken in 7.
There might be some combination of render choices and output types
that actually works, but I sure haven't found it yet!  I can get a choice
of all-black frames or all-gray frames, but those are all.

Your only practical choice is to use the firefly renderer.

I'm just trying to find a way to render all frames one after another. I'm getting tired going back and forth after each render moving the frame bar and then saving it again - lol. It seems like the P4 movie render option works the best but theres no anti alias. I have to see if theres some type of program I can use.

in the "make animation" bit, try setting the format to "image files" that should render a sequence of images.
(I don't actually do animations so I could be talking total rubbish)

Yeah, thats what I did, but the Poser 4 render doesn't ender using anti alias.

Silly question, but is antialias checked in the P4 render settings? I know it isn't by default.



MocPac ( ) posted Fri, 04 July 2008 at 6:29 PM

Yes its checked, in the original P4 render settings, but it doesn't carry over to the movie settings. The anti alias is grayed out under the movie settings.

I don't know what to say, I just tried an image sequence (3 frames from a 12 frame anim) and it was antialiased. In the render settings I checked antialias, in the movie output I selected image sequence and Poser 4 as the renderer, the only other thing I did (and I don't know if it makes a difference or not) was select Poser 4 from on the dropdown on the render tab in the pose room.
What format are you saving the images in? If it's .jpg that could explain the lower quality as Poser has a pretty poor .jpg export.

Im saving it as .png


raven ( ) posted Fri, 04 July 2008 at 7:42 PM

That's what I saved as too.I can't think of anything else, sorry. Just to add, on the movie settings page my antialias is greyed out as well.

@ ockham, when I rendered my test frames, the rendering window looked like it waas rendering black, however when I checked the frames they had rendered fine.
