Don't do any posing with full texuring view-- it's impossibly slow. Find a view that you can see fairly well with-- don't remember whatg mine was called-- smooth shading?-- and only change to full texture for goof checks, like is the shirt coming through the leg. I have a 3.3G Pentium 4 with 1G memory and unless I have around 16G's free for virtual memory, things can get glacial-- at times, then again there are times it doesn't. More than 2 unimesh figures ups the time as well, usually though I had no problems rendering Montana and another Vicki3 poledancing for the Freak for my xmAS Card-- they weren't wearing much though. On the whole the slowness of the program is why i recommend people start with Poser 4-- the renderer isn't as good but it's fast!!! I susupect that those who say they have no p0roblems are perhaps using Judy and Don instead of V3 and M3. Emily
