Ok, losing it here. Suddenly I cannot get Poser to render any one sided objects as one-sided. They will still act one-sided when rotated in the preview window, but, when rendered, both sides of all one-sided surfaces will render as opaque, complete with textures! W-T-F? Never heard anyone mention this one before so I must simply be overlooking something stupid. BrainFog or Middle-aged Moment. I sez to myself. Tis nothing more. Try again & keep it simple -- Lets see using the Poser default One-Sided Square prop with: - both element & scene Display mode set to Texture Shaded, - Surface Mat color 100% White, and Highlight, Ambient & Reflection colors all at 0% Black, - No maps of any kind - Rendering in a new window, with shadows & antialiased. that should do it. .both sides still show up. Clutching at straws, I examined the One-Sided Square prop in UVMapper and it is still only mapped on one side. Hoping to blame a corruption in the app itself, I did a complete reinstall of P4 and still no one-sided renders. Waited a couple of days to see if the answer would occur to me, or the problem disappear, before publicly shaming myself, but no such luck. So, please embarrass ol Nance and point out what he might be overlooking. Or, might something outside Poser effect its renders? Some corrupt codec or such? Using WinXPpro.
