There's a very good Python script at RDNA called "Advanced Render Settings" by Semideu. It produces a ZDepth render which is far superior to the native Poser one in that it is antialiased and can also handle transparent texture maps. The ZDepth render is in fact only one tiny aspect of this plugin, it will revolutionise the way you use Poser - get it, you won't be disapointed and if you make a lot of use of ZDepth renders it's indispensible. I use it every day, the best $19.99 I ever spent for my CG work.

You're absolutely right! Thanks for this. Any idea why it might be an idea why it might be an idea to have them on? Does it do anything other than reduce the file size by a factor of 10?

Quote - Yep. It's not focal but, on rethinking this you can use the lights focal dials while watching through the light camera. This is what I hoped to say. To be clear, right click workwindow, select correct shadowcam. Then left click the centermost light on lightball icon. This should swap parameter box to your camera's light.

Now you can tune your light and slave your camera to your actions. Changing your light's focal should now have a realtime effect in preview. Also aligning your subject matter to realtime light and shadow.

That did the trick - thanks very much everyone!

I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I had a totally different issue (harware installation) wiht the same effect as yours i.e. it affected ALL versions of Poser I had and caused them all to crash upon loading, before even the serial number and user name had appeared on the splash screen. I eventually tracked down the culprit, a small program which monitored when the new hardware was plugged in, via Task Manager and was able to disable it, after which Poser launched and ran each and every time. It wasn't an ideal solution, but it at least it meant I could run Poser until I got it fixed.

It might be worth using Task Manager to see if Vue has installed a Startup process which is conflicting with Poser.

Well - after deleting the drivers for the tablet, but not being able to find any other trace of it on the system but with Poser still crashing, in desperation I ran Task Manager' Lurking in there was a process called "ATWUSB.EXE", which appears to monitor when the tablet is connected. I disabled this and Lo! and indeed Behold! Poser launched first time and every time since. I managed to work out how to prevent ATWUSB.EXE from being loaded at startup, but can't find any way of actually uninstalling it, as apart from it running as a process, there appears to be no trace of it anywhere on my system. I had a previous tablet from the same manufacturer which used to sit happily alongside Poser for years, so I'm going to install the drivers that came with that (I never throw any CDs away!) and hope that they work with the new tablet. If all elase fails I'll re-install the new drivers and just hope that I can switch off ATWUSB.EXE whenever I need to launch Poser. It's got me exhausted - thanks for all the advice and tips folks.

Well, it didn't work. I don't know what to do, other than to reinstall Vista and that would be massive. I don't even know if it would fix the problem.

Thanks for these replies guys - at least I know where to start sniffing around....! I tried the manufacturer's website (Aiptek) but the driver they have there appears to be older than the one that came with the tablet. I'm going to try the tweaking.com idea and see if that helps.

I just discovered something called Rainmeter; I'm always the last to find out about cool stuff! I always thought that a PC desktop could be made more functional, and now I have a tool to make it so Having seen what other people can do with Rainmeter, I'm dying to dive in and have a proper go with it. This is just my first exploratory attempt; please excuse the nudity.
