Hi - I am creating a poster sized pic. The poser render is not a problem but I am having trouble with the background. I want to make a starry sky on black background. I have tried adding the stars created in Universe onto a psd pic of the size of the poster but the stars are still coming out like pixels. (pixelated) I have also placed the background onto a cube with the same effect. Has anyone any ideas about this. I have downloaded starbits to see whether that is any better. I would appreciate some help with this. Thanks in advance.

I haven't had much luck with getting backgrounds to work in Poser. Often they look pixellated, no matter what size they are. Maybe you should just render against a black background, save it as a PSD, and composite the materials in Photoshop (or whatever).

Ok thanks. The stars look good in photoshop but as soon as they go into poser they pixelate. Thought there might be an easier way. I guess you can imagine putting stars in a poster sized pic? lol. If you hear that I have gone mad you will know why. Thanks again.

Ahahhaha, yeah, I know what you mean. =) There probably IS an easier way, but as I said.. I have had some bad luck using backdrops in Poser. If you have Photoshop 5.5 or 6, make a pattern out of a large star tile. With some erasing and tweaking, you can make it look as if it is NOT a tiling texture very easily. =)

i'm still new at this but an idea that i use is to make your background image the exact size of your finished render, then place it in your pic on the one sided square(it will have shadows however, enless you turn them off) but in your finished pic the background won't be stretched and look pixelated

Look in free stuff for the Cyphre's "Star Dome" Prop . Dont know if it will be any differant then your current problem but its cool none the less. Once you get the hang of it.
