    I particularly like the small nuances, such as the ankle being turned on that lighter dragon. It puts energy into the conflict.

    Any Image you load to the Background layer will ALWAYS fit your RENDER size fully. You can make a Primitive plane apply the Image file to it then SIZE the plane so the image is the proper ratio and then Move the Plane to were you want it in your image.

    On A primitive Plane apply the image to the Diffuse channel with color set to 100% White. For some renders you will need to Apply the Image to the Ambient Channel also and White also set to 100% strenght. That will keep the image from needing to have a LIGHT on it to show. Also in many uses having the plane set to Not cast shadows will help.

    EDIT: The Package you bought (me too) is meant to BE the Full Background with only a Dressed figure in front of it.

    Let me guess Jack of Hearts for Genesis. Which lighting have you tried? I find I use Cloud Nine for DAZ Studio more and more just because the lights look great. You can turn the Sky off and just use the Lights. I also like several of the other bought light sets, why rebuild the wheel (lights) when it has been done before?

    Oh that explains things. Most if not ALL Xurge is POSER materials. Even the DAZ stuff needs adjusted to look right when rendered. The materials will need tweeking in the surfaces Tab. I'll hunt you a link to things to adjust, now where did I leave that link?

I thought I had lost my mind I have been playing with this outfit most of the day....Thank you for telling me that.....wow........well good I will go back to playing with my new backgrounds with ron's brushes and another outfit...I really do like Jack of Hearts though he is the kick butt kind of guy....Johnny Depp with tall boots.....LOL

    Yep fraid so. Poser materials just do not play well with DAZ lights. That one threw me for a loop when I first started too. Also some things like Displacement and Bump maps don't even LOAD sometimes and we have to do it by hand. I've asked the guy who wrote the Poser to DAZ help thing for a link but no response yet.
