Thank you for the info. I will try your suggestions. However, my confusion is that when I render any one of my characters seperately, they all work fine. All of the textures and bump maps link up without a hitch. When I try and render a V3 character with another Michael/V2 character, I'm having the same result on mulitple computers. POSER either crashes or gives me the various (random) error messages "texture, bump or memory".
