This is my first charector in poser, I'm fairly adept in 'max though. I'm trying to ANIMATE a scene where she appears from that hologram projector thing, but I can't get the effect. any ideas?

I'd say select her body and scale her X,Y and Z scale all down to 1% seperately. Then, as the scene progress, she scales back to 100% one coordinate at a time. Y first, then X, then Z. That should look like a thin strip of light first, which then transforms into a flat image, which then transforms into a 3D image.

Very cool looking set and effects, btw.

That or use one of the particle fx props at propsguild to scale down as she scales in..... Scarab

I have found that if you make the scene without the figure and make a movie of that, then import the movie as a background, then import the figure with that background and make a movie,put the two together , the figure will appear transparent and will look like a hologram. Hope this makes scence. skee
