I didn't think of that. I don't like jumping from machine 2 machine - messes up the creative flow. It's hard waiting a few minutes while the render is in progress and you can't do anything else (like get the next scene ready to render, or another render). Batch rendering would be okay, but you won't get time to check if each image is what you want or do rerenders. Perhaps the render engine should be a seperate app. Poser could create scenes, while the render app, renders the images. While the render app will require a lot of resources, the Posing app wouldn't.... so both could go exist - but that's what windows is built for... multi-tasking. Running two apps on one PC should be allowed. CL says it would be too taxing on the system. CL recommends 700MHz for satistfactory performance... However, today we have 3GHz (over 4X the power (700x4=2800)), so running two apps on the same PC should be fine.
