have you tried the mask render? it's definitely worth exploring and works perfectly for what you're trying to do... if you're not sure exactly what it is, give me a write and I'll try to explain it: t_behrens@hotmail.com There's a good tutorial at this address as well: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Program/3093/tutor/bryce/mask.html Take care, Tim (heyjoe225)

I'm all for freedom of expression, and am not personally offended by any of the images I've seen here. But... it would not take a huge leap for me to see how some of these pictures could be seen as a bit degrading towards women or improper for children. I think that most of us have been around long enough to know that Poser is very capable of making nudes and posing them in any way you can conceive. I suppose what I'm saying is that people should be free to post whatever they want (if they themselves consider it art...), but that it would sure be an inspiration to see people move off in some new directions. After seeing god knows how many bare-chested Poser ladies taking over the screen, I find myself hoping for something a little more thought out. Just my opinion, though... no offense intended to anyone.
