I feel your pain on the network rendering, and Operaguy...I'm working on the splash ;) Gonna take some time though. Got about 1/2 hour done thus far...looks great so far though. I'm really sad that with each new version, poser's rendering abilities seem to keep getting slower and slower. Granted, the new options are nice, and look great in a single pic. But the original P4 rendering engine should still be able to churn stuff out faster than ever, IMHO. I think there should be a series of checkboxes in the preferences, so that you can turn off/on certain features in Poser that you rarely/don't use, so that these features never even boot up with the program, allowing your computer to devote more system resources to the stuff you DO use...or at the very least, allow you to use more system resources through network rendering ;-) I know, I for one, would more than likely turn off dynamic hair, the setup room, and at times the dynamic cloth room (depending on the scene). Looks like face room is a little more integrated in 6...so that might be a hard one to turn off. I'd be curious to see how much that would speed up rendering. It might be kind of cool to turn everything on when setting up a scene/render...and then save your file, and turn off all the extras, then reboot Poser and have it just set up for optimal rendering. (I imagine if you used something like dynamic cloth - that room would still have to be open in order to do the render...but still.) Again, it's just a thought.
