Hi, I woudl like to create some pose sets for commercial purposes and I would be grateful for any advice on how to do it!!! I have noticed that many people use coloured silhouettes for the different figures, how could I do something similar please?
Thanks in advance!!!

Render the figure alone, save as PNG or Tiff so that you get transparency (directly or as an alpha channel), then use an image editor to fill the figure with one solid colour and the background with another (or a gradient, whatever you fancy), add any logo or whatever, and save a 91 pixel square version as PNG - for MyPoseFile.duf name it MyPoseFile.PNG. You can also use a 256 pixel square version as MyPoseFile.tip.png for a larger view, or to add any tips or instructions (this will appear when the user hovers the mouse over the file in a content pane).
As the thumbnails just show the posed figures with mono color, you can simply use Genesis Dev Load, change Base Color to what you'd like, then render thumbnails and tip image as needed, simple and fast...
