how can i create e red text with metal outline?

i'm importing an obj.file i exported via poser pro, a dog figure. i select the whole figure and apply 'fur'. it doesn't work neither in vray nor in mental ray, what am i doing wrong?

this is kinda tricky...

how can i import a movie i rendered in Poser as 'sketch' without any background but only the figure, e.g. walking?

does this have to do with render settings in Poser?
...

i set the keys, it shows fine in playblast.

what next?

how can i export it in a movie? (with my settings)

is it possible to import a movie rendered as sketch in poser so as to composite it in maya with a background pic? below, i'm posting a frame i did with photoshop. if yes, how can i do it? i don't...

i created a 2-colour ramp shade. how can i assign blinn together with the ramp?

is v-ray compatible with the 2-shaded object?

in other words, i wanna create a shiny object with 2 colours...

i assigned a blinn for both images below:

with mental ray

and with vray
...

the system renders fur only with mental ray. which setting must be changed?

are both needed for different rendering needs or is vray more powerful for all purposes?
