Any time I want to render a scene with Vickie + any other character, etc. I turn on virtual memory on my old G3-only 160 Mb of Real RAM. I usually give it a total of 300 or so. Otherwise I get the cant find texture, bump message. And sometimes Poser 4.18 loses the existing texture maps (until I close and reopen it-when it is running out of memory to eat! On a Mac at least P4 is a memory hog-and does not willingly release RAM once it has used it. There have been times when it has been necessary to save an in-work scene, close P4 and reopen it to get it to work properly. This was once mentioned as a recognized problem "memory leaks" but at least for the Mac was never resolved. Ah well. I have rendered two vickies-including a Very highly morph targetted Marilyn (Darth's masterwork) which included a boatload of extra morphs. Dont think there is a Morph Manager for the Mac so once a morph is loaded its there forever. Good luck! Eric Walters
