to the collected wisdom of this forum: i only can manage to export the wireframe in a soze max. 500-600 pix. for printing i need 3x that size! the rendered image is easy, but how do i export or capture a wireframe of at least 1200x1600 pix in poser 4.0? or do i have to apply a wirefram as texture in bryce??

You could try: 1. Render/Render Options. 2. Check New Window (allows larger renders). 3. Adjust resolution first, approx guide: 300 pixels/inch (dpi) Art Magazine (Quality paper 150 screen). 266 pixels/inch (dpi) Standard Magazine (133 screen). 200 pixels/inch (dpi) Newspapers (Newsprint 70-100 screen). 72 pixels/inch (dpi) Screen/Web pages (No screen). 4. Then select width in cm or pixels. (Try to get used to cm for printing to paper media). 5. Then with other settings set such as anti-alias render the image (This will generate RGB file). 6. Do not forget to convert from RGB to CMYK in image editing software for magazines/newspapers and remove channels/masks/alpha channels/selections (different names for same thing). RGB will print greyscale. Channels will prevent printing at all in some publishing software such as QuarkXpress 3/3.3 etc. Lower the black channel (key) high/midtone levels when converting from RGB to CMYK as RGB has much broader/ vibrant colour range than CMYK. Hence conversion makes image look muddy and less colourful. You could also render as a single frame animation for even better quality/sharper results. You could even export from another 3D app as an illustrator file for even greater line definition and flexibility. Good luck.

This is probably more what you want. If only I could read!! For quality wireframe. Make sure document is displayed in hidden line mode, sometimes good idea to make eyes invisible. When happy: 1. Animation set up: Increase width and height fields to suit, keeping the same proportions as document window. 2. Make movie: Sequence type = Image Files Resolution = Full Quality = Current Display Settings (set to this to get the wireframe) Check Antialias box. Ignore frame rate but set all boxes in Time Span to zero to render just first single frame/image, not a whole sequence. Hit OK and save as. Poser does not allow standard renders larger than 4020 pixels, so to get bigger images increase resolution. Good luck

Another choice is to use the figures UV template as a transparency map. Gives some more control.
