Quote - > Quote - Somehow he's producing renders with blocky, aliased edges.  I can't even make the renderer do that, in my tests, so I can't figure out how to tell him to get rid of it.  I recall having alaised edges in my own initial Poser renders, but that was with Poser 4.  Can Posers from 8 up even do that?  😕

Like you, I'd struggle if I was forced to make blocky, aliased edges. I suppose it must be render related (he is actually rendering, right? Not just exporting the preview screen?)

You can save your favourite render settings and transfer the file to his set-up, to see if that helps.


To answer your original question: still working on it. ;-)

I'm pretty sure he's showing me a full render.  The textures and displacement maps are fully displayed, there are full shadows.  Yet the figure edges, where they stand against the blank Poser background, are blocky and aliased.  Weird stuff, especially since he's working with a pzz I sent him, saved out of Pro 2012, and he's rendering in Pro 2014.  It's a puzzler.  😕  This is why I say that Poser is always an adventure.  :lol:

 

I think we can all say we're still learning Poser, particularly when it keeps changing on us, with wonderful new features added alongside the odd new bug or shortcoming which requires new workarounds.  That aspect aside, it seems like a lot of users were able to get the basics down pretty quickly.  Possibly I was a slow learner.  Wouldn't surprise me.  :lol:  Not the brightest person in the lamp, me.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
