Use those camera and pose dots! They are your friends and will save you a lot of time you are spending saving your pz3 - not to mention hard drive space. (Have you taken a look at your pz3 files - their size will amaze you.) I also recommend rendering in draft mode, changing, rendering in draft mode again, etc. Until you get close to your final render, don't bother with shadows, raytracing, and that sort of thing. You can make adjustments to them last, and this will save you a lot of rendering time. I tend to pose my figure first, then add in my textures, clothing, and hair. I add in my backgrounds last because they take up so much screen space and slow down render times. I don't know if that addresses your question or not, but I hope so. :) Best Blessings, --Invidia
