FyreSpiryt : Yes that setting is supposed to reduce the textures but I have no idea what the transfer pipeline looks like in Poser 5 and I'm sure the texture load is much slower when it has to reduce. Also, I have no idea how Poser 5 is doing the reduction. In other words, you might do way better reducing the texture in photoshop and cleaning it up vs trusting the FF reduction. As for comments about the large textures when shipped. I do agree that shipping a large texture is probably OK if it is something useful. One can always reduce it. Some cases like fishnet stockings or grates on floors can become problems when reduced. But as was pointed out, a 1500x1500 eye texure for the 3rd gen models is absurd ( unless someone is actually doing renders of eyeballs close up ).
