Hi all, I am trying to render a goal post and I am having issues. Basically, I made an animation using poser 7 and when I rendered the image the image of the goal post is out of shape but it perfect in the preview window. Here is a link to the pictures of both the rendered image and the way it looks in preview window. Please can any one suggest what I am doing wrong

Turn Smooth Polygons off...

It's a smoothing issue mate, try turning smoothing off in the render settings.   You can also change the smoothign angle on your goalpost object.  Select it and go to the properties for that object, you should see an angle there somewhere, if you reduce that number it will deform less.  I don't know the optimal angle for the goalposts, but 30 suits most of the models I've used it on.

If you made the goalposts cut and paste the endcaps of the cylinder. Its poser trying to smooth the cylinder . Playing with smoothing angle may help , or turn off smoothing.

Thanks people. You don't know what your responses were worth to me... More than a million
