Thanks MM - I'll do more looking around

thanks CB

I tried to open the IronWoman character. The file would not open. 3DAZ/Zygote has the SuperHeroine unpack into a different file folder than the original Zygote Heroine

Bushi - thanks for the info - I achieved what I wanted by switching the Document Display Style to Texture-Shaded. I had forgotten all about that! thanks again

RE to addendum regarding library boxes: Poser standard library items come on a grey background with the darker circle on it. Sometimes I have noticed that when saving to the library, the boxes are "raised" and are smaller (it just looks kind of inconsistent with some raised, some not raised). When editing the thumbnail in Seno's 3dO explorer program, it saves them as full 91x91 pictures. it appears that when saving to the library, poser normally saves the figure and deletes whatever background that the figure has (this allows for a non-raised background) it appears that there is no way around editing a picture and copying it to Seno's Explorer without having it appear "flat". Poser defaults save library thumb characters as figures with shadows behind them (which is what i am ultimately trying to achieve)

Just an addendum to my post... I like the thumbs to not have the square around it... I solved the thumb issue only by using Seno's P3dO Explorer program, but it saves new thumb CR2s as boxes in the library

I used to wonder how to get rid of the dark boxes around the thumbnails too, but earlier today, I tried the following and it seems to work... set your document background size to something like 600x600 or larger and then position your camera so the figure is within the viewing document, turn off shadows and then add it to the library. so far, it has been working

Thanks Scott - i will take a look at it. need a few more figures to add to an Epi I rendering.

Thanks - there are not many around but i have found a few to create poses in Poser. i usually import into Bryce from there. Hopefully there will be more SW figures soon
