i have the indoor pool. When i put in a character, and render the picture, it renders black. If i remove the pool, it renders okay. Why?? I have moved the lights, played with the transpaency but nothing works. For the picture i am working on, i need a good looking room. This post also goes with the one below about ghostly images. Can anyone help?? **Miss Nancy, if you read this, thanx. But i don't have photo shop. All i have is what comes with windows 98 and poser.
