This was rendered in Poser Pro 11 on Windows 10 64 bit. The outfit is the C-tunic for V4 converted with Wardrobe Wizard for V3. TRansparency on the sleeves and skirt is set at 2.0. Does anyone know how to fix this?

What render engine are you using? Firefly or Superfly? Also could you show a screenshot of the mat settings. That would help a lot.

I always use Firefly. Here's the Material room set-up.This is the set-up for the tunic's long skirt. Material Room.jpg

Hi there

This I've never seen in my life and I do render with several render engines Not sure why you are have there transparency set at 2.0,when you don't have there any map,can you try to render with transparency set at 0 and that model C-Tunic for V4 do have maps if yes can you try plug there transparency map from C-Tunic if there is or can you post the link on that model

Thanks,Jura

OK I think I've that and rendered like you are with transparency set at 2.0 and I've got same or similar effect

But with transparency set at 1.0 this effect disappear or is not there,please try to use transparency set at 1.0

Hope this helps

Okay. I'll lower the setting. 2 usually works for me. but apparently not this time. Checking e-mails before going to work. I'll post the results when I get home.

Hi there

I always use for trans maps 1 and I've never tried 2,did you tried same scene in Poser 10/2014?

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura

I don't have P 10. tried it and could not get it to work for me. Went back to P9 till PP11 came out and as far as the program goes, I have not had any problems with it- it's rendered pics that P9 would have choked on. There have been times - in earlier programs- when a transparancy setting of 1 left faint outlines and I had to bump it up to 2 in order to clear things out. But this time going back to 1 did the job. Thanks jura11.

Looks much better there,no more chopped shadows at least You can try to experiment with lower transparency value,this depends on more factors and models etc Glad this worked for you there

Thanks,Jura
