Hi, Keep in mind that I'm just starting to learn poser. I was wandering how to make better renders. I don't know much about the program yet but when I render it looks fine, than I export the image and reopen it to do some work in Photoshop and it just looks awful. I don't know what I could be doing wrong. I heard that you can export them into bryce, which I'm trying to learn as well, but does the render look anybetter? I just want some real skin textures and such. Can anyone help me out? I just can't see any of the detail I want when I go into Photoshop.

First, if you can afford to, render large. Most of mine are 1500x1500. Then, when you go to save your file, save it as PSD or TIFF. I take mine straight to Photoshop, so I generally save them as PSD. :)

Hello and welcome to the madness....as far as rendering you can set Poser to render on a separate window through the render options menu, you can set resolution and size,and also antiliasing, the better format to use for importing into PS 7.0 or any othe such Application would be TIFF, the image looks about 100% better than JPG, if you want to export to bryce there is a utility called The Grouper you can find it in the Utilities section in the freestuff, as far as skin texures there are several in the freestuff...Enjoy...>)
Ask me a question, and I'll give you an answer.

if you make a chracter you want to take to bryce export it as wavefront .obj.i can't remember the exact address but look in the bryce forums for a free program called grouper.it has tutorials on the site but it is a real time saver.can also be helpful for any program you want to import into.

Also don't forget you can change the jpg. settings when the save window opens, you might have it set at 25% instead of 100%. Still tiff or PSD is the better way to go, you have alfa channels, better for layering. Welcome to your new addiction.

Thanks everyone, I do save mine as JPG at 100% so i'll try to save it as tiff or psd. So thanks for the help.
