It's happened again... but now I know how to make the room visible again... I don't know if the program repaired itself or not. The person I was with didn't say anything when it happened, so I just went with it until we changed the pose. And then another time it didn't happen at all.
So... now I was curious if I could control this or not.
Here's some examples of what was going on:
Change to "kneeling rider" and this is what I saw...

Next I moved the camera angle... and the room appeared

So I tried Cam2... could still see the room...

Then First Person view... works just fine...

Switched back to Cam1... blackout again...

I'm going to have to investigate this with a human partner (sorry Eva)... I'm curious to know if the blackout now happens on the other person's side. Eva wouldn't tell me. :-\ When this first started, it remained black even if I move the camera angles or switched the view... now it's only when we first start the pose and remain at that camera angle.
I could click on the actions and it would remain dark. It's fascinating... and kind of fun.
