"That's why I'm not yelling. I can't speak for others in this -- but I can speak for myself. What I am doing is engaging in a reasonable disscussion about a very real issue. Not the faked-up problem that some seem to think that it is. If the problem doesn't get talked about, then it's likely to be ignored." ____________________________________________________ "Yelling" is when you put things in caps or in bold letters, which you did. I don't think anybody thinks that this is "faked up problem". I can't recall a single person accusing anybody of complaining without just cause. Furthermore, nobody's ignoring this problem. But the memory problem has been talked about to death, this thread adds nothing new to the discussion, and more complaining isn't really going to help. I think there's a point at which complaining becomes counter-productive. It reaches its saturation point and there really isn't anything NEW to be said. And, not that you're one of them, but I am tired of hearing from people who have an axe to grind against CL and want to proudly proclaim that they're glad THEY didn't upgrade to P6 because (fill in the blanks). Who cares? I said this back in the middle of the Poser 5 brouhaha and I'll say it again today. This is a ridiculously cheap, amazingly powerful little piece of software that's being held together by spit and glue. But the company has never abandoned it. They've managed to find a way to keep it going, and we have to have a little patience and faith, and give them our support. If you want a higher order of perfection and sophistication for two-hundred bucks (or less), you're not living in the real world. There isn't even one piece of software that does this same kind of stuff for the same price. As of this writing, Daz Studio does NOT do animation. And I've been using Hash Animator since back in the old Amiga days, and it's always been as buggy as the jungles of the Amazon on a hot day. Really, if you want a smoother ride, go pay more and get Softimage. And in the spirit of contributing something USEFUL to the discussion, I haven't seen anybody mention this, but the corrupted file-saving aspect of the memory problem seems to be somewhat tamed by dropping your display down from 32 bit to 16 bit, or at least it has helped on my system. Your mileage may vary. -jjsemp (who's REALLY feeling fiesty today).
