Poser 6 is by far the slowest version... but it does have the most stuff lopped on top of the old code. Texture sizes are the biggest culprit I've found when doing animations. I render in C4D most of the time and I've found if I shrink most of the the figure textures down to 30% I still get good results and not to bad of render times. I really don't know why you'd want a 4000x3000 body texture on a figure that moving at 30 fps:) Ed
