Hi all, please understand that there is a distinction between the general case of the FireFly renderer running out of memory and the particular problem of a scene file getting corrupted on saving that some people report. The settings labeled as final are very aggressive in terms of resource needs. It is possible that at such render settings, a complex scene consumes more memory than an application can use on a 32 bit Windows system (2 gigabytes). That's why there is a memory check during rendering and that's why there is a message that suggests lowering those settings. This is all normal operation of the application. Please also consult the FireFly rendering tutorial in the Poser 6 Tutorial manual PDF for details on this matter. If you experience that lowering the render settings doesn't help, if your scene is not complex (100,000 polygons or less, no 4k by 4k textures) or if you are affected by Poser writing a corrupted scene file, then that is not normal and considered a bug. In that case, Curious Labs tech support would like to talk to you. Please make contact through http://www.curiouslabs.com/article/articleview/18?sbss=435. Thanks a lot, Uli
