Spent literally 48 hrs designing a frame by frame animation in M4 Skeleton at the end when I was done the red hexagon objects that surround the limbs and other appendages of my creature will not go away..........are they some sort of tool I am seeing that can be shut off or is an incompatibility issue with my video card.......... I sent a picture so that you can see what I'm talking about...........Hopefully someone knows what the deal is...............

    Yes you can turn them off. There should be a pose to do that in the pose folder.
    Or you can just select them in the surfaces tab and turn to opacity to 0

    Open your Figure in the Scene Tab (the arrow will expand it) look for Handles or some such and use the EYE to turn them off. If they are not listed in the Figure try the Surfaces tab and find them listed in it, set Opacity to 0% and they should vanish.

    I hope this helps you do your animation.

    Darn I was beat to the post.

    Yes, you should have a "utility" pose, in \Runtime\Libraries\Pose\!DAZ's Skeleton\Transparent Helpers.pz2

    How do I render out my ten seconds of animation to a folder in frame by frame JPG format selecting the whole animation or do I have to go frame by frame cuz that would suck...........There must be a way.............

    Render settings, Render To and pick Image Series.

    If you click on the helpers to select them in the viewport you can then turn their visibility off in the Parameters (DS) or Properties (Poser) panes - they are separate body parts.

    I have exactly the same problem!! :-(

    E.g. "V4 24% Transparency" and all the other poses work fine, but "Opaque Helpers" and "Transparent Helpers" have no effect at all. I tried to select the Skeleton and clicked maniacally for nearly one hour now, but cannot get to hide the helpers.

    Any ideas? Please

    I got it ! the solution was not to select anything in the scene. then after clicking on the pose DS will ask where to apply it :-)

    You can also pick the Skeleton in the Scene pane, or right-click over an area that shows both Skeleton and .V4 and pick from the menu.
