Hi Folks! dzarts, Poser needs lots of RAM to be comfortable. It's not unusual for a regular user-- PC or Mac--to allocate 125MB or more to run Poser effectively. You can get by with 64, but complex textures or transparency maps will probably get you lots of error messages and crashes. The other part of your question is puzzling. Don't the .bmp for the figures you mentioned come with the software? (I'm not making an accusation, but it seems strange to me that you need to get them if you already have Poser.) Peter (Dr Zik)
