do you have a backup of your p5-runtime? if yes, replace both prefs and ui of the actual runtime by those from the backup. i don't know which of these folder contains the troublemaker, but that's what i do when i read this error message.

ok guys, and now please stop flogging ziggie and try to understand him too. he's disappointed of p7, maybe after being disappointed of p5 and 6, maybe he's sent dozens of mails, complaining or asking for help, and never got a real answer. and suddenly, out of the blue, the pastor materializes in front of the flock and starts some paradise-talk.....well, some people pull the trigger when a target passes their sight;) apart from that - don't you think that this 'job-offer' is a bit strange? i mean, if i'd need some skilled people to make illustrations, maybe even to represent my cg-product, i wouldn't search here in the rosity forum. simply because the only result would be a flood of mails and nviatwas-renders by lesser skilled enthusiasts. i'd rather spend an afternoon in the galleries, and after that i'd write 3 or 4 mails. that's it. i wonder what they are up to with this show.....maybe one of their 'pr-gags'? but propably it's just their recruiting methods being as inefficient as their programming is.....;) A.

wow, now that was quick! thanks a lot for your help (and understanding;) off to start poser A.

as ba9 said: go to 3dcommune. find ordering help (r bottom), click that, then let their store staff guide you through the whole process;)

why? my answer to this question will make you laugh: i think this scaling thing could be an additional option to deal with shadow min bias. actually i am busy testing this idea with differing results. sometimes it seems to be easier to set the value right with a bigger universe, but i can't say for sure at the moment. might well be that i am wasting my time. accordingly, if you'd help me, you might well waste your time too:) success or failure, a script for that would be most welcome... ;)A.

i would render figure and background seperately, bg with dof, figure without, and put them together in pshop. you can still blur the figure a bit in postwork, to blend in nicely. the hope that poser gets everything right in a single render.....i gave it up looooong ago. A. ps: since the background is just an image - are you sure you have to render it?

@ trobbins2 i use this parent-to-box method for lights only. too much parenting and reparenting and cross-parenting and changing parents is a source of problems. especially in multi-frame scenes. @ pjz99 just curious. in case you are curious about how this script-story is going on pls check this thread: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2679406 A.

shouts? who shouts? nobody shouts! we're laughing at them! apart from that, it's not 'everyone'. it's just ol ziggie and me... i'm sure most readers of this thread have already zipped their vickies and sent them on their way and are by now facing a sleepless night spent in excitement about the prospect of making cewl renders for cewl ef (paid or unpaid...).

don't you ef-guys think it might be a bit late to ask for render experts? dogsmile

tailor's a waste of money! ;) A.

@nruddock sitemail! @pjz99 did you test nruddock's script too?

bingo! at least! no error message!!!! but there's sth strange about it - can't put my finger on it yet...needs some more testing. pls keep an eye on your sitemail-box;) thx a lot! A.

er, i forgot...yes, it's p5. my machine's too old to use p6 for more than rendering.:/

my best wishes for you guys! Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 23, in ? AttributeError: IsHairProp Quid?
