Sorry, Oarman ...the lights that come up with the standard settings wont go past 1024 for shadow mapping, you have to create lights and get rid of the ones that normally come up. once you have your new lights they have more controls than the standard, shadow maps can go to 8000 and more if you have enough ram, ive got 64 meg and the maps top off at about 9500, yes this does take a lot of memory but poser isnt a ray tracer and uses mapping, you have to boost the maps to get superior results, I am looking into the poser to truespace plugin so I can render my poser anims in truespace wich is a raytracer and has bigtime render output. hope this helps... later
