Yep dinosaur/paperweight of a computer by today's processor standards, running Poser ProPack SR3. I started a scene and maxed out at 7 figures with a failure to render and an out of memory error message. Then I applied advice from a previous problem to this situation and freed up enough memory to resume the render, add an 8th figure, with a 12 pieces of conforming armor, and a conforming figure hair, and fully textured ground and building props. Last night I reopened the .pz3, deleted the 3 poser default lights and added a retail lightset of 18 lights with shadows enabled. It rendered in moments and demanded more. stewer, richardson, PoseWorks, and nickedshield all provided the same expert answer in a series of helpful threads: cutting down of the texture maps in a graphics program. People it freakin WORKS. I took my textures, ranging from 1000x2000 to 3000x4000 and cut them all down to 50% or 25% of thier sizes, adding "lo" to thier filenames, then I copied thier original .pp2's and edited them to use the "lo" textures with all other settings retained. Rendering at 800x600 as I do constantly, I can see NO loss of detail on my figures from the use of the 3000x4000 maps. Final render is at link above. There is NO layering except that I rendered this twice, once full scene, once without one character's hair, and a colarbone made invisible to eliminate body thru armor pokethru. (ill be happy to do a wireframe on request!) All figures are real and posable. Never would have gotten this one uploaded without the advice from the experts here. Big Thanks in particular to stewer, richardson, PoseWorks, and nickedshield!!!

I couldn't get 8 figures if my pc got christened a holy relic. Glad you got it but got to tip my hat to stewer. I was just a willing guinea pig on this...;D
