check the folder (runtime/libraries/character/?folder name) and make sure the png or rsr extracted there. You could always load up the character and render it at 91X91 and save it as the same name as the cr2 and voila! You'll have your png!

I thought real women just have more polys and are rendered better in realtime. sad attempt at humor... sorry........ G

Obligatory post to recieve email notification of update :)

"Personally I prefer to just smooth/shape the breast with postwork in Painter." Sadly, I just make 'em bigger. Chest & collar parts... Darn that WyrmMaster!! Pretty much every female character I use has his mags!!! I'm a bad man aren't I? sniff... sigh...... Nah... I don't care!!!

What is "Gorean"? I looked it up at dictionary.com and nada... If it is something gross, then sorry... I'm a good mix of ignorance and niavety... grew up in a real small town!

I learned to draw by tracing Star Wars and Superman comics as a kid. That never taught me the deftness to paint on canvas like that!! Traced or not it looks bloody amazing!! I still keep thinking Sofimage and Renderman when I see it! Again, my two cents are spent! G

Oh, it's not so bad... you should see my kids room!! Just kidding! It's kind of a bummer, I was searching the "Poses" and it seemed like 80% were Mat Poses... Now I know they're poses, but wouldn't make more sense to put Mat Poses into the Textures area? Maybe it's just me... My two cents are spent!! G

Take the lovely Ms. Croft on the right: outlines and all. She was flattened by z-toon. Ms. Croft on the left was put into Max in 3D, no cartoony outlines though. It's a nice effect but just not what I was going for. I'm a BIG kid still I guess. I love 3D CGI but I'm a sucker for old school 2D. Me and my kid watch way too many cartoons!! The hardships of being a dad eh? LOL!

Spoiler alert... HOLY COW!!!!! WOW! I'm thinking Softimage or something when I first saw it! Yikes! Old school real world art will never die.

Again, WOW!

It would be nice if a system that can run Doom 3 or Halflife 2 well could also realtime render a poser scene with pixar quality. Also, it would be really nice if I had the aforementioned system. Sigh... I thought the same thing around 2000, I slapped in as much SDRAM that my system would take, put in a swanky Nvidia gfx card (I think it was a GF2 which was pretty primo around then) and Poser still looked and ran the same. Granted rendering was sped up and it didn't take so long starting up and all. but software rendering is kind of a bummer. Back then I was playing Quake 3 and getting 90+ fps and Poser was still Poser. Well we gotta take teh bad with the good. With all else we can do in Poser I'll gladly sacrifice DirectX or OpenGL support. Later! G

I'm not sure about Vue... I've never used it... sorry. I just did my scene (ProPack), used ockham's ztoon python script (thanks ockham, your python scripts are priceless!!), saved scene, hosted scene in Max, made certain my camera was alligned with my z-flattened V3 and happily rendered away! I just used Max's default lights and no shadows... I tried it with an omni with shadows on but it just darkened it up and there were zero shadows. And it took way longer to render. With the default lights it took 20 minutes to render the talking part of the clip @ 1024 by 768. Sorry again about my lack of Vue knowledge. Ask the good dr geep... or maybe we have some VueGurus here too. Thanks for your input! G teh 0R1G1N@L G_MAN!

I seem to remember trying that when I had both P5 and PP installed... It was like two years ago and all I remember was it didn't work. I suppose I'll try some Runtime general housecleaning first... I have too much stuff installed that makes me think "Why'd I buy that? Why'd I download that freebie?" If I can't clean up enough then I'll try PBoost, incedentaly in my Pose library (414 folders) I cant access anything past the "D"s in it!
