In the pz3 file it says: backfaceCull and there is an actor method: BackfaceCull() & SetBackfaceCull().
I've tried every combination i could think of. any ideas anyone?
Maybe it will be in the poser pro  documentation.

any help would be much appreciated.......

actor.SetBackfaceCull( x )          x = 0 off x = 1 on
Poser 7 Python methods pdf page 69

I believe there is a render option you have to set to have that active during rendering
SetRemoveBackfacing page 115 in the firefly settings

i couldn't find the reference you mentioned and then realized that i wasn't using the latest pdf. when i installed poser, i copied the manual to a desktop folder. they never mentioned to my knowledge that they had updated it and i never looked.

thanks for your help once again. i am curious to know where you live if you want to share that.

The poser methods pdf is in the poser program folder and was updated for each version . There is a python script that generates the list of methods , and it is more correct than the pdf.

I live in the USA , Wisconsin at the moment .

I thought backface cull was only a render setting , I wasnt aware , until your question that it was flagged in the actor itself .
