I'm wanting to add a unicorn to a scene I'm putting together. I've tried using the paint bucket to change the color of the horse to white, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to make it white. I tried doing it in Photoshop, but that didn't work either. I would really appreciate some help.

By the way, I'm kind of new to Poser, so please be gentle.
Thank you in advance for your help. =^)

First and foremost, read the manual (as crappy as it is). From the Materials, change the necessary material zones to white. Otherwise, open the horse template in Photoshop, paint the entire template white, "Save as..." with a different name (crucially important), load this new texture from the Materials panel, apply the texture to the necessary material zones. Unless you paint the various corresponding areas of the template a different color (i.e., the hooves, mane, tail, etc) they will all be white as well. IIRC, the texture is affected by the underlying Material zone colors, so applying the texture to a base white is a good starting point. To view the textured model in the studio/stage window, select the rightmost sphere (looks like a striped billiard ball) of the Document display (the series of spheres beneath the main window). If you've already tried these steps, consider that the lighting may make the horse 'look' greyish.

Thank you so much for the help, and the quick reply. Whenever I finish the image (if it turns out the way I want it to,lol) I will upload it here. Thanks again! :D

Well, I finally got it finished. I posted the rendering on my home page. I think it turned out pretty good. Now I've just got to finish the rest of the scene. I've also included a link to my home page.
