I was trying to make a ZDepth image, using the Depth Cue, setting Depth Cue color to white, as explained by BB in a thread long ago here.

All of my scenery props are working out good, with a daark grey in foreground objects to a light grey/white going back.

Problem is that Vicky herself is black (though she is standing on a bridge which is dark grey) and her skin has a little orange tint to it.

I thought maybe it was find/turn off Light Emitter for all V4, but I think I got em all and she is still black/orange?

What am I missing?  Thanks!

Look under Render Settings.
Bottom right hand side: Auxiliary render data > Z Depth

Its in Poser Pro 2012, may be in Poser 9 also.

Yea...nope.  That is 2012 only.  That why its either Depth Cue, or Adv Render Settings from Semedieu...which is on sale.

I assume it is somethig plugged into a channel which causes it to be a light...but I don't know of a good way to search them all, except a slow painful manual process and diconnection of many channels.  :(

It may be red ambient in the skin shader, download Scene Fixer script by SnarlyGribbly to fix it, if that is the case.

Hope it helps
