I know this thread was started last May, but it seemed the place to ask my question: there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to when P5 is locking on me during renders. A scene with 2 or 3 characters renders just fine, but when I want to do a medium or tight close-up on one of them, the 'puter locks so bad that all I can do is hit the reset button. One at hand is a good example. I have a David figure with the medium res texture from DAZ, Actual Eyes, Digiport's genital figure, a chair and 2 wall props. That's it. This same scene with a V3 character and several additional props rendered just fine with a P4 render, shadows and Production quality @ 1280x992 and 350 dpi, but when I try to zoom in on David, I get lock-ups. I've tried re-building the scene from scratch, reducing the production quality and displacement settings, turning off all shadows and deleting any texture maps for parts of the characterthat didn't show, but still no joy. Can any of you Poser sages give me any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
