wierd, doesnt make sense - the overall textures (in pixel real estate) more or less are equal. im not disputing your results, but for an accurate 'test' you should restart poser (hell, reboot even) before each set of variables, to keep everything consistent. also it would highly depend on the actual filesize of the 4000x4000 maps as well. i go to lengths to compress my textures (while preserving details) to under a meg, so while my 4096x4096 texture would probably be under a meg, ive seen merchants' 2500x2500 textures weighing in at over 8 megs due to their misguided belief that saving something at 100% quality makes it 'better'. id also like to hear from one of the people who cant load V3 or S3 or M3, and see if they can run Renda. listen, im not disputing she has problems... if you think i was ecstatic to work with her default body you couldnt be more wrong, and im not going to be very happy having to reconstruuct my renda redux CR2 once the updated renda CR2 comes out in a couple of days. what i am saying, however, is that for the sake of the poser marketplace people need to be less harsh on new products like this and actually give them a chance to take off. im not saying tolerate bugs and issues, but give the folks an opportunity to fix them and see how the product turns out. if the problems dont get fixed within a reasonable time, then let them have it. did you really think that just out of the blue a figure would be released that made everyone discard V3 entirely and gape in awe at the sheer awesomeness of it and monumental advances in technology? V3 is pretty damn solid. but, what this does, is open up avenues of competition with her, and a future poser market where the choices are not limited to V5, V5, or V5, but a wide range of characters of or very near her caliber. to be blunt, i am not willing to stake my reputation on Renda 1.0 by defending her to the death or lying and saying 'buy her buy her shes absolutely great and blows V3 away'. i nearly opted out of creating content for her... but in the end i am willing to give her a chance, for the sake of a Renda 2.0 giving V4 a run for her money, and for the chance at a future poser market that doesnt revolve solely around 'Vicky'. cheers, -gabriel
