I'm just kinda speculating here but couldnt you just save the head as a prop?

Thanks everybody:)

"Yesterday's erstwhile troll" would only consider this to be art if the artist had grown his own food, then ate it, then produced this fabulous work. I cant believe I lost so much money setting paper bags of it on fire on peoples doorsteps.

AH HA ! Having fisheye type perspective was the problem. I need to go with the smaller FOV and just pan back/forward 'till the object is in the right view. Thanks xDave

Thanks guys! xDave

Thanks for the help guys! I've seen a lot of examples lately. The current practicle use I've seen is mostly in advertising. It's being used to make digital images of products appear more realistic. All of the images I saw were done in apps that support it natively. I'd love to buy Vue or shade but I'm unemployed right now so that luxury shall have to wait. xDave

...so anyway, I notice in the task manager that LightGen was still running, its ram usage was even fluctuating. I thought it looked like it was running, I'll try to let it run and see what happens. I've got a 2.4GHz with 1GB of PC3200 ram so it should be fairly quick, in relative terms. To Operea guy, although yourself and many others would find parts of this thread useful, most of it would be just confusing. If a thread started by someone else has question about several things that you arent familiar with then you should start a new thread with a question like "what is HDRI". This way people that are new to it will find that basic information without having to sort throught the advanced stuff.

For Opera, I'm creating a set of hdr files using the sopack plugin to emulate the lighting conditions I created. I always use backgrounds when rendering an outdoor scene in poser. To Adrian. Yeah I got that script. I used the LightGen plugin in HDR shop and it worked, once. The script worked too but the lights were too intense (forgot to check scale all). For some reason the plugin refuses to work again. I get an error "plugin does not exit when queried for parameters." I got this the first time but the file was there anyway. anybody get this error? xDave

Thank you. I dont have any specific plans yet, I'll look at your files and get some ideas. I only know at this point that scripting is possible, I'll wait until I have other than vague general questions for you. I bet I'mm going to want to make a figure play that piano ! xDave

Thank you for resetting. The service here is amazingly fast. I will find a way to get it. xDave

Thank you for the quick response, but... the download link did show up, unfortunately it is a java applet.My computer always locks up with these. I cant use a download manager on these. If the download was resumable I would have a chance to get it. But since I cant afford a new computer all I can do is see 1 MB download and then start over. Unfortunately after 3 tries the link is now gone. If this is the only way to download I would like to know how to get a refund xDave
