I just ran into a few problems on an image rendered in Poser 7.  I've got the slider settings on automatic cranked up to a pro render (one tick away from the most far right setting).

  1. The shadows are too hard and solid. I don't know what settings to change to soften them.

  2. P7 is hiding antialiasing from me. The setting in the render menu is only for antialiasing the preview window. From poring through the manual, it appears that the only way to set antialiasing on a render is to do it from the animation menu which is a bit counterintuitive. Is that what's required? The only place this seems to be a big problem is when I rendered with depth mapping. Although the background is blurred, there are a number of jagged edges clearly visible. I can always render the background as a separate element that I can blur in Photoshop, but it would be nice to have Poser do the work for me.

3. Is there a Python script for centering two objects together? It is such a laborious process moving lights and cameras where I want them in a large image.
