Is it possible to Anti Alias the BODY of the figure, but have the edge be Aliased so I can remove my background color well, and with no artifacts? Any help is appreciated. Pope

I would say render twice. Once with it on and once with it off ...take into photoshop or something similar and paste in layers with anti aliased underneath and the jaggy one on top .. erasing the center of the jaggy one until you just have the edges .. good luck

You can also save your render as tiff in Poser and then load the alpha channel in your 2D paint program.

I think he is talking about animation composite capabilities here. I have circumvented this by setting the background to a blue or green screen (b or g value of 255 with the others at zero) then render the animation to disk with no antialiasing. If you have Premiere, or something equivalent, you can then use a gaussian blur to take care of the edges in your final composite. It is pretty convincing. However the best way to accomplish composite video sequences in Poser that I have found is to render the background footage seperately, and import the .avi footage as the background of your Poser document. The cool thing about this, is that Poser will step through the background .avi as you set keyframes, so you can check your progress, update light sources etc. Then render the whole thing out with antialiasing enabled. If this is a single frame mask, you can render to a .tiff file as Kalypso mentioned above and extract the alpha channel in Photoshop etc. Hope this helps, co(V)(V)union
