I have not had this problem before.. Now when I render, I don't find the render?? I see the rendered screen some seconds and then it's all grey???

Can it be my videocard?

I render in Poserpro 2010

I found the problem, but why it happend??

It's when I have checked the Render setting:  "separate process" this happend??

I find the way we save our renders in Poser a bit counter-intuitive. You Click on this camera thingie, it makes a render, you then, what, make a copy, and to save it you close it, but tell it you actually do want to save it after all? Seems like saving is an afterthought.

Weird.

So, I'm not surprised you've run into issues. I've never done a render as a separate process, and wouldn't have a clue where to retrieve the result of all my hard work from. Poser 9 could have a different metaphor for this, for my money.

Poser 9???

Is it a poser 9??:-)

I hate when they make new all the time...I wish they could improve what they had, instead making new programs..

I have Poser 5,Poser 6,Poser 7,Poser Pro, Poser 8, Poser Pro 2010...

And still think the programs could have rendered faster and make things look more realistic....

I see many people make soo realistic renders with VUE, but I don't have money and also time to learn a new program:-(

No, there's no Poser 9 yet, Mariny, but give them time: there will be. I'm still exploring PP2010 capabilities: they are boundless. There really needs to be more time spent by these companies on educating users to what they have - something a bit more enlightening than that obscure tome they call a manual - and what the features they've included can actually do. But that's after-market support, and there's no money in that.

Selling new versions: there's money in that. And so, you and I flounder along, trying to figure out what part of the manual is correct and what is bogus and what exactly is "Render as a separate Process". I alway thought that rendering was a separate process, anyway. :biggrin:

Rendering in a separate process doesn't have anything to do with where the picture is saved. It's just a way of telling your computer to use it's power to render instead of doing nothing.

In 99,9% of the times, problems are solved by rendering in a separate process, if you can't render something for instance due to memory problems.

I think what you had in mind was "render in background" but even then it will pop up with the picture once it's done and you can then save it to whereever you want. Poser doesn't save anything automatically (well.. and then again, it saves the last couple of renders - the number of them depends on what you've set it to in the preferences - I usually set it to 2, the lowest there is, in order to conserve memory)

But in short: Poser doesn't SAVE anything. You do. And you decide where you want it saved to.

I agree that the whole "export -> Image" is a bit backwards. Saving only saves the PZ3, not the render. But again I think it stems from Poser's beginning as a mannequin tool for artists, where rendering wasn't really what you needed, the preview was :)

Hi.. I know how to save a rendered picture.. But it is missing from the screen.. It's nothing to save when i have checked "render in separate process" When I unchecked it, I see the rendered image..

I don't think it's a memory problem.. I have 4 CPU and 8 GM RAM:-)

I've had this happen. It is usually a corrupted poser.ini file. Find this, delete it, then run poser again. It will create a new ini file. You'll have to reimport your runtimes and reset your defaults, but it ought to clear up your issues.

In the future, you might make a copy of this newly created ini file after you get it defaulted the way you want. This way, if it gets corrupted, you can delete the corrupted version and replace it with a new copy of the good version you've just created. Saves a lot of time.

Also, try selecting the render screen BEFORE you tell the program to render. Sometimes this cleans the problem up.

You might be running into this problem. It's a problem for both Mac and PC, and I don't think SM can/will fix it.
