Thanks alot for the advice so far. I want to try Vue but it says you have to have poser 4 installed to use poser 5... I have heard that the installer is very very picky about poser installations, so I don't want to take that risk without further research. I am rendering only vickie 2 with a Stephyz (?) texture that is large. I don't want to give up that texture, and most of the stuff I am doing right now is facial closeups so I need to play with reduction vs. quality.
