Quote - As you stated yourself the Poser4 renderengine is a tad limited..for a decent render you should check them all but the last one that says "Ignore shader trees" which will basically make the engine ignore all materials and shaders made using the Poser6 shadertree which Poser4 doesnt have.

Also mind that you use lighting setups for Poser4 as the Ambient Occlusion and IBL lights wont work in the Poser4 engine.

That said what is your system hardware?..Processor and RAM memory...display adapter?...there might be something else going on which does not allow you to use FireFly.

I can use Firefly sometimes. It just not everything. It's driving me insane. i just tried a different single figure scene.  Basic with 1 figure with texture and morphs, 1 dress, 1 corsette,  1 pair of wings, simple hair style, head veil and a 5 light setup and I get a "encountered error while rendering, can't load texture. not enough memory".  My desktop only has 384 MB SDRAM, and while I wish I could afford more, or even a new computer, both are out of the question so I have to try and find work arounds.  ugh
