I prefer to work in cartoon with line mode (sad aren't I?) but I have problems with quite a lot of the characters that I download from here and elsewhere in that about 60% of them end up with dots instead of lines on the head and hair. I'm pretty sure that this is something to do with the transparency added by their creators but I can't find a way to turn it off. I also find that the pupils which I set to black will never go darker than mid grey with these figures. Anyone know what's going on and how to turn it off? Thanks, Maz

Have you tried to click the "antialiase document" button under the render menu, I'm not talking about anti aliase in the render settings, but just under the render menu. Give that a try. Davo

I think it actually looks better than most line renders I've seen. Dotty is good.

The problem is it's only the head and hair that come out dotty, the rest has lines. I tried davo's anti-alias approach but to no avail. The dotty problem only applies to these particular body parts and only with some figures. You can have two figures in one scene next to each other and one has a dotty head and the other has the normal lined head. It's definitely driving me dotty.

I have a problem where my renderer wont render anything save full textures no matter what mode it is in. If I select one of the wireframe modes, or the cartoon mode, anything at all, the damned thing still renders as if it were set to render a fully textured render. Anyone know how to get it to render a wireframe?

Look at the 'Display' menu. Make sure that 'figure style' is set to 'Use document style'. Sometimes the figure style gets set to a particular style and changing the document will have no effect unless 'Use document style' is checked. The same sometimes applies to the 'Element style'.
