skcgirl.... I highly suggest: Do NOT scale up in Poser 6...your problem may be solved in P6 without doing ANYTHING! Suggest you try your exact same render in p6, perhaps not the entire 7 hours, just a few frames that will demonstrate that the flicker has or has not been solved. Can yu post after attempting in P6? Note that scalling up does NOT affect render time whatsoever. ::::: Opera :::::
