oh yes, you will bring up the "set up animation" trick... i think it should have been implemented in poser 5 by now... it is dissapointing we still have to rely on this trick, but once get used, it becomes an automatic habit... I think that except for test or base renders, nearly no one would use limit of render wndow.. and as you point at it, except for textured mode, you cannot render anything else until with this trick. see, i would neved had guess sketch mode could look so nice at very high resolutions, i guess that some sketch settings (such as crosshatch, type of brush, randolm lines etc) would only really show their effect in such context... I let you explain the trick, i was glad the day i learned it, and i am sure there still are people who miss it (saw a thread even two weeks ago)
