Choose this methode: Render and place the rendered pic as background. Change the camera while the figure moves out of screen. After that save the scene as CR2 or whatever it is. SHARKEY

Hello, Another way is to change the hair/whatever display characteristics to cartoon and then save it. Tou won't get the colors but at least you will be able to tell what it is. Later

No good deed goes unpunished ...

I wonder if in Poser5 Curious Labs will include a real-time renderer (OpenGL?) for preview mode that supports transparency. -SMT

I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!

Hi, When I make a thumbnail for a finished character I render it and save it as an image. I then use Paintshop pro to reduce the image size to 91x91 and save it to a Mac pict image. The I use the rsr/pict conversion program to make an rsr for the character and replace the one created by Poser. The conversion program used to be freely available but I have not seen it around. I have it but I don't know who created and I don't want distribute it without thier permission. If anybody knows who wrote it and they don't mind me distributing it I could email it to you or anybody else that wanted it. (Its very small)

Another thought is on some items, especially hair, you should check the fit with transparency off, then if everything fits turn it on for the render. I think that is Zygote's thinking now on hair, I also put my latest hair up that way.

I think that in the Poser Explorer there is a way to change the pictorial RSR file that goes with a CR2 / PP2 / whatever.
