I also posted this in the Poser Forum.

Anyhow.. when I render one of my props using the Poser4 Rendering Engine it renders out fine. Then I render it in FireFly in Poser 7 and I get an all black prop and square shadows (see image). I mean, WTF? LOL

Anyone know what may be causing this? I checked my model and can't seem to find anything wrong with it. Some of my models are getting this in FireFly and others aren't and I am pretty consistent in how I create and edit my models so I am pretty baffled at the cause here (and the remedy) ;o)

Any ideas and help are greatly appreciated. I am trying to make some of my older (P4) packages P7 and FireFly friendly.

Thanks,
~Will

Try adding a figure to the scene. I suspect the prop is quite small, and Firefly hiccups when the total scene is too small.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter

Well I'll be damned if that wasn't the problem.

Thanks SVDL. At least now I can relax that it isn't a problem with my models hehe.

Thanks again!

I am tempted to say the issue is the size of the shadowmap, resulting in a minimum pixel shadow with very tiny objects . This could be verified by looking at the shadow camera , and zooming it to cover only the prop.

It shouldnt appear with raytraced shadows selected .
