You don't need "enable hardware shading" on for that. That setting is for advanced OpenGL features.
Looks to me like you have the document or the figure set to flat shaded. Document Display Style by default at the lower left of the interface. Set it to "Texture Shaded".

okay - found it - it was off. turning it on didn't fix the problem though

Quote - where?

In the Preview tab at the far right. But like I said, that's not the problem.

That doesn't explain why it renders like that.

"Enable hardware sharing" is an option under the "Preview" tab.

i made him white deliberately. already Texture Shaded document style.
he not only looks odd in preview but also when rendered. i can texture him but the problem doesn't go away.
sad
love esther

Yeah you're right. Sorry about that, I missed the part about it rendering like that too.

Beats me. I'd guess maybe not enough VRam, but who knows- if it works ok on the same machine as Poser 7 it should be OK in Poser pro

I was experimenting in Poser Pro, to try to re-create this, and found that having "Enable hardware sharing" pretty well seemed to disable rendering - that's why I thought it might be relevant. I don't use OpenGL normally, because I get all sorts of problems. With SreeD, M4 looks OK in preview and renders OK for me in Poser Pro.

My default character is TY2. Switching on "Enable hardware sharing" has the same effect on her, so it may not be a problem specific to M4. (I specifically installed M4 in Poser Pro, but TY2 is installed in the Poser 7 run-time.)
