Subject: problem with cartoon lines

Hi to everyone! In the last days the cartoon lines view mode is a bit strange, it's like it has some kind of transparency and i can see teeth and the eyeballs from far, itโ€™s like a X-ray view, that Iโ€™m pretty sure I activated in some way, but I donโ€™t know how to restore the โ€œnormal viewโ€. The software is Poser pro 2014. Thank you! Untitled-2.jpg

I'll give it a shot.

Try this. Top Menu. Go to Display. Go to Document Style. Set to Texture shaded. Go to Object Style. Set to Figure Style. Finally Go back to Display and down to the Cartoon Settings. Set it for three tones. That should get you should back on track. Let us know if that worked or what you are trying to accomplish and we'll help you as we can.

Hi Rob, no it hasn't worked... the strange thing is , if i go to Cartoon Settings, these settings are in grey, and i cannot choose any of them (but the default is the one you told me to click, three tones).

I'm pretty sure this problem heappened once ti touched some display setting, but i don't know if it's a choice that i wrongly made or a bug now...

If it's a bug, try saving your scene, then restart the program. See what happens.

Also, what figure is that? Is that a Genesis Character?

A screen shot of your settings wouldn't be the worst idea. I know you're busy but let's see what we can do.

I tried to replicate the problem using the display settings, but couldn't. A screenshot of your display dropdown menu would be helpful as well.

You can only use cartoon setting (comic book) with OpenGL, you may be using Sreed. Just an observation from my own experience.

Yup, I couldn't reproduce it either. However, I just noticed that he said PP2014 so I'll wait until he provides some more information. Like the figure he is using and his settings. Boni is right (as usual), If you are using Sreed then the options he mentioned are indeed greyed out.

I hope he/she returns soon. I enjoy solving mysteries. Even minor one like this.

Hi to everyone and thanks for your replies (i'm a man :D) I don't know nothing about OpenGL or Sreed, but the thing is that this is happened after years that i work with it, with the same PC, i think i touched some options but i don't know what...

About the figure, that is simply Michael 4, but this problem is for the whole scene, for every figure inside the scene, it not depends by which one i use. For example this new screenshot is Michael 3, with a view of my display settings if you are asking about these...

Thank you for your help! tf.jpg

This was easily reproduced with that screen shot. However, you must notice that the change that has already occured. He no longer has that strange partial skin forehead. That Sreed vs OpenGL also made a difference. We can deem your problem solved and are closing your ticket.

Just kidding. That happened to me recently but not here. First Proof of life.

Now look at your your bottom pallet. The one that displays document styles. Open it up and click the final ball on your lower right hand side and let's take a look. On my PP2014, it immediately fixed the problem. (yes we can delete your ini file and Poser should rebuild but I don't think we have to do all that.) Take a look. Before

After

Afta.jpg In your next screen shot, make certain we can see that you selected texture shaded. This was also done with Sreed selected. You don't really want that.
You want OpenGL.

All I did was hit the last ball on the document style. Sorry about the last image. Update us when you have a chance. afta 2.jpg

Solved! and the solution was already on the first comments, i don't know why, but the "preview drawing" settings was on Sreed, not on OpenGL, and i don't know why, because i don't know what is it and i never touched it (maybe some crash changed this options? some updated of the software or of the hardware?). Once back on OpenGL everything turn back normal. Thank you guys, i know probably it's a stupid thing for you all a setting mistake like that, but for me was a hell the last days on poser!

Cool Beans! We're glad you're up and running again. ??
