Despite taking the unusual step of reading the manual and tinkering with every background command I could think of, I haven't figured out how to import a separate image into a Poser session. I assume one thing I can do is take a platform and rotate it to form a backdrop and apply a scene as a texture, but isn't there and easier way? Dosh

File:Import:Background Image... :) Mike

You can also "paste" your rendering in poser into the background. This saves oodles of memory when doing multi poser characters all in one image. Just a thought.

hehe.... oodles...

When you import a background image, it will always face the camera, will always be the same distance from the camera, and it extends the whole width and height of the window. I have done this several times, only to be immediately reminded how stupid it looks. Your best bet is to put in a square or cube and resize it to hold the image, that way the sky is not the ground, plus you can add more images (like a sky AND a ground).

Thanks for the info. In one case I want to do some face modeling, so pasting an image on the background makes sense. Then for scenes, it would be wise to use NEWC's strategy. It goes to show you that you can POSE a question, but the Forum finds several ways to RENDER an answer.

Dosh - Very witty response! "It goes to show you that you can POSE a question, but the Forum finds several ways to RENDER an answer." I like it! Clint - Ray Dreamers Forum
