I was thinking about some of this recently, since I've been trying to animate a 250 x 250 scene past 21 frames. I'm still experimenting with some solutions before I contact CL, but based on what pcbos just wrote, I'll probably try to call and get someone on the phone.

When CL first started up, they followed DAZ's lead by giving the communities a "personal" touch. The new management at CL so far has presented themselves to the communities as a company ( or single entity ).

I do hope CL is hard at work fixing the bugs that P5 inherited from P4 and fixing the new bugs, since there is one subject that has relevance DAZ Studio.

While CL currently owns and maintains Poser, they do not create content for the application. DAZ, the major commercial content provider for Poser, is currently creating an application to compete with Poser. IMHO, it is in CLs best interest to quickly fix the problems with Poser.

I also do know that problems can be difficult to fix. My company is currently working with IBM to solve an automation error in one of their applications. IMHO, CL tried to do too much too quickly with Firefly / Material room, Face Room, Hair room, and Cloth room, but hopefully they will continue to work with the communities to solve the problems with Poser.
