You know, since I switched to Poser 6 my render times seem to have decreased a great deal. I'm not sure why that is, but I suspect it has something to do with the number of lights in a scene. With Poser 5 I used Complex Global Lights most often, and with Poser 6 those same lights preview nearly black and I can't see the figure/scene to make adjustments, so I've been using other lights specifically made for Poser 6, or making my own. And I never have more than 3 or 4 lights on the little globe now. Some renders still take an hour to do, but I certainly haven't had a 10 hour "adding object" render with Poser 6.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
