"The Poser 4 renderer in P5 does indeed render the depth cue data..." Whew, thanks Kupa! I guess the manual is halfway correct then ;). "FireFly does not though." I guess that begs the question... I don't recall reading anything about it, but it sounds like there's no fog or fog-like feature in the FireFly renderer? I guess we can still do the 'multple, strategically positioned semi-transparent planes' trick to simulate it. Tim, sort of... It's not really a depth-buffer, but due to the nature of the operation, it does kinda simulate one. I don't currently have the Adobe products, so I don't know what format they are expecting for the depth buffer, but the alpha channel could be viewed as an 8 bit gray-scale if that works (most depth buffers are normally 16 or 32 bits).
