Cris, hope you've got the answers to your problem by now. Sorry, I just got your private message tonight. All the suggestions made are right on and about what I would have said. The multiple renders and the Bryce suggestion both seem like logical solutions to your problem. 4 Vickies plus props are going to be very hard to render all at once, especially with large texture maps. You could take Allie's suggestion and use reduced size maps for the fairies themselves, too. You don't need highly detailed maps on figures that small. Your main figure might be able to use a smaller map, too. If you are using my freckles texture, definitely make it smaller. I made it extremely large for close up details. jschoen, wonderful suggestion about textures in Bryce. I have never been able to get my textures to load automatically in Bryce. What a pain! I will have to try your solution. Cris, remember that transparency maps in Bryce must be inverted. Bryce reads black as transparent and white as solidthe opposite of Poser. Can't wait to see your finished image!
