Whenever I try to render a Cartoon scene, all of my characters etc render with lines around their edges. how do I remove these?

Under Render settings in the Option area, if you have toon outline selected uncheck there

Cheers, but I do not see where I can uncheck it. I have looked under Render Settings, but I do not see an option for Toon Outline.

I am actually using the Toon Tones / Comic Book option if that helps?

May I ask what version of Poser are you using?

Poser Pro 2014

OK give me a moment and I will do a screen shot..I use PP2014 too

Here is a screen shot of where the "Toon Outline" is under Render Options.

Cheers, I understand now. The Toon Outline under Firefly is unticked anyway. For my renders I use the Preview mode, using the Toon Tones / Comic book feature.

If I go to Scripts / DSON Support / Subdivision / and choose the different Set subdivision levels to either 0, 1 or Off, it has an effect but does not remove the jagged outlines:

Hello, OK you are using DSON. I am so sorry..but I dont have a clue :( Hopefully someone will chime in who uses DSON..I have alerted the other Coordinators and Moderators that you need help.

No worries, thanks for the help anyway

What happens if you do a final render, rather than the Preview render? I don't know if it will help, mind you, but I have the outlines in preview but not the final render.

Andy: Unfortunately the toon render is based in preview mode.

Machimation2: I am not sure how the jaggies appear, unless it is embedded in the DSON translator. If so, and I'm not sure here, then those jaggies would need to be fixed in post render in either Photoshop (among other raster editors) or a vector converter such as Illustrator or Manga Studio. If it's vectorized then the lines themselves can be selected and deleted. A tedious but effective solution.

Try this, under Figure menu, change the skinning method to Unimesh.

I'm not at my PC right now, but I guess that you have the outlines just on DSON figures. When importing via DSON, it looks to me as if there are two meshes, one a slight bit larger than the other, and the larger one renders black. That's your outline in Preview.

Export the figures via Poser Exporter from Studio, and load them without DSON. You will no longer have the outline. It's the only way to get rid of them that I know.

Raven, thanks - the Poser Unimesh tip works a treat.

Macnimation2, if you can't afford to upgrade to Poser 11 for the new comic book features, there's a way to roughly approximate 'geometry shelling' in Photoshop. Output a masked PNG of the character, then Stroke the edge.
