Hmmm, EnglishBob, I kinda think I might like this idea too. Your method I mean. Is there some really good reason to NOT do things this way, I mean, other then the little bit larger file sizes? I have gobs and gobs of HD space, so that doesn't bother me. I'm finally having the time to get back into Poser since I first bought a couple months back and am now rethinking all of my settings and such. Anyway, thanx............md :)
