*if texture size, filtering off and a lower bucket size don't help, then the size of the raytrace database might be your problem. If that's the case, deleting objects might help. However, before you go that far, you should give it a try to uncheck 'Visible in Raytracing' on the properties palette of the objects you were going to delete.

Thanks for the suggestions, Uli. I'll give it a go. Perhaps in another week or so.

I am going to be doing some travelling -- no, not to Andromeda. So the forums will get a much deserved XENOPHONZ-free break for a while.

Perhaps my scene will render properly when I come back. You never can tell.

Thanks for the helpful comments, everyone -- including the suggestions for Vue. If I can't get P6 to do what I want it to do, then Vue might become (once again) my Poser scene renderer of choice.
