One hint about my backgrounds in Poser. They will work much better if you put them on a prop Square standing up behind your figures rather tham importing them as a background pic. That way you can adjust the bump on the mat on the square to suit your needs. S Verdie Ingram of Dreamspinner drmspinner@earthlink.net

Thanks! Good to know.

Oh and don't forget to use the same pic in the BumpMap region so that Poser can make it's own bumpmap with the jpg. Verdie : )

Wooh! You just lost me there. Back to the manual ...

It's in your materials section, top left you have your main material or texture map, under that you have your Bumpsection and you can put in the same material or texture map for your bump, top right you have a place for a reflection map or rather pic if you want to use one with 2 places beneath that to check for color through object color and color with lighting. (I usually check both), bottom right you have the space for your transmaps to go. Does that help? I'm not just really very good with Poser yet, myself. S Verdie : )
