Isn't that effect a preview window setting?

So is that TTFN or TANSTAAFL?
Thanks for the reply. Will it preview looking like that, pre-render? What I need is to be able to see what the sillouhette will look like while I am posing it, not just once it is rendered.Delete everything from the startup scene if it has anything in it (lights too!), hide ground (Ctrl+G), load figure, pose, render. It will render like that.
I don't know if this still works but in Poser 11 - and earlier versions - you can add lights to the scene that won't illuminate the render, but will illuminate the scene for posing stuff. I've used them quite a lot in low light scenes.
Coppula eam se non posit acceptera jocularum.
Here's a nice trick that I've probably read here, on Rendo's forums, long ago.
My poses lights is a set of 3 infinite lights, without shadow, and setup this way:
Permanently lighting up the scene in the Poses room, non-existent at render time

Hi all.
I'm relatively new to Poser and wanted to ask for some advice. I'd like to be able to pose and render out still images of figures as black sillouhettes on a flat background. Is there a fairly straightforward way to do this please?
