hi everyone, ive been working on an image, and when i render it has lines around the shoulders , and legs and sometimes around the skull?? what does this mean? im baffled its never happened before.

It would help if you could post the image. It could be an artifact that needs antialiasing .

If it's what I think it is, either ;
       a: turn off texture filtering in render settings, or in Poser 7 and Poser Pro on the texture nodes in the material room (there is a script in freestuff that will do this for you all at once here http://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/index.php?user_id=99327 )
       or b: decrease the Min Shading  Rate in your render settings.

Are these white lines you are seeing? If so then you are seeing the lines in the seams of the texture and if it is then follow raven's advice by turning off the texture filtering. I use the python script raven has linked in his thread a lot and it works well.

thanks for your help guys i have installed the script, do you loose quality by doing this?

it worked great - thanks guys :)  just done some quick renders and NO LINES!!! thanks again
