Got a problem with polygons. I can't figure out a way to fix em. Model was made in 3ds max 8 and renders fine in there. As for poser well..... I've tried a bunch of stuff no dice. Render was done with ray trace checked, bounces = 2, min shade = 0, pix samp = 3, max text = 1024, max bucket size = 64, min displacement  = 0, smooth poly checked, post filter = 1, post filter type = box . Also what are good settings for fast poser renders, etc. it took a little over 2 hours to render the above pic. Of course my system could be a facter 1.7ghz celeron with 1 gig of memory.

And what is the problem ?? that it take's a long time for the render ??

Maybe its me but i can make real sence out of it .....

normals forward?

It's the tris. They are offset for the rest of the wall segment by the winding order, I believe.

The only fix I've ever found for it is to redo the geometry itself in that area -- remove the tris.

 

Incidentally, on the rendering time -- it appears you are making use of reflection and refraction as well as ray traced lights.

The best way to speed up the rendering in such a case (for example, when doing test renders) is to change the lights to non raytraced, or, even better, simnply turn off raytracing in the preview.

Well I figured out why I have the polygon problem, in part it has to do with the texture I was using.  Very strange. This is after I changed the texture.

This was the texture I was using.

This was the texture after. I had tried checking normals forward in the original texture I used but it made no diff. I guess poser has probs with certain geometries depending on the textures you use. Something I'll have to remember from now on.
