What firefly render settings should be used in Poser 5 so that the texture seams are not visable in the finished render?
Thanks.

 Render setting might not necessarily help with that.

When you texture an object, the seams may look fine in the preview because it often has lower texture resolution, and doesn't show bumps, displacement maps and so on..

In my experience, very visible texture seams in render is usually poor texture work rather than a renderer problem.. :) Of course there may be other issues that can cause this too?

Are you using your own textures, or are you using someone else's product?

 It it possible to turn off texture filtering in Poser 5 ( I only have Poser 6 +).  That may help get rid of seams in the rendered art.

Thanks- it was texture filtering that was causing the problem. I' rendering someone else's  product.
The eyelashes look better with texture filtering on- they look too thick and smeared without it.
Thanks again to both you and Grappo2000 (the post above) for your help.

You should be able to go into the material room in P5, IIRC, and turn the texture filtering on for just the eyelashes.

What's IIRC?

Texture filtering samples image map pixels adjacent to those being rendered. If the texture maps are not adequately overlapped at the seams, some blank pixels can be sampled, and this causes the visible seams.

DAZ Elite skin texture maps are like this. As Grappo2000 said, it's down to poor texture work.

Thanks. I'll try to experiment with that.
