Subject: How can I render a Silhouette figure?

Hello,

Poser Version: 7

I had only a very little experience with Poser some years ago.  I have a question:

I selected the figure to display Silhouette.  However when I tried to render the figure, the clothes and skin color will also be rendered out.  How can I render a Silhouette figure.

P.S. I know I can use the "export image" to get the Silhouette output.  But I wish to know how to render the Silhouette output.

Thanks and best regards

Alex Nice to meet all of you!

What I did was set all materials for clothing,hair and character to black with highlights set at zero. Settings with FireFly render and raytrace shadows on the light.

The above image map 2 has the hairs transparency map plugged in. The image map in this post shows settings used for character and clothes.

Or you can put a white background, and delete all lights in the scene, them render your figure.

You can also turn off camera name on the preview display and then just run anti-alias on the preview if in your Poser version this is still an option in the main GUI render menu.

I had a similar question a week or two ago, but mine was a silhouette with depth shading. I went to Poser 8 from version 6, so I don't know if 7 has this but, select the render preview option from the tab at the top of the preview window. Look hborre's second reply to me on this thread http://market.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2805770 hope this helps.

The only problem with deleting all lights is that someone may want a scene with shadows like in my last example image.

Hi all,

Thanks for your kind assistance!  This forum is really helpful!

I have another question.

I wish to have a white Silhouette figure with outer black lining around.  How can I set this in the render output?

Best regards

Alex Nice to meet all of you!

Use a white diffuse and turn the ambient value to 1.0 and make the ambient color white... turn off shadows on your lights and place a black background!

If this is what you mean, then change the diffuse color to white and change background/prop  color to black. For lighting use a diffuse IBL and uncheck the cast shadows in the render settings.
