Firefly is a bitch with larger scenes so that's why I'm using P4 render

Can I open a pz3 in Daz Studio intact

Hididen non-visable body parts sitll have texture maps applied, so the map will still need to be loaded (though not rendered). The hanging occures when the first shaddow map is being drawn and after the textures are loaded. (Sometimes at "loading textures".)The geometry is there, weather hidden or not. Maybe I'm wrong about some of this.
**Thanks to everybody

**Once the stubborn scene finally renders, the subsequent renders of that scene occur reliably. Like something has clicked and has resolved itself.

I do have a high tech solution I sometimes use - wiggle the mouse violently after you click render and minimise the Poser window. Perhaps any benifit of this is imagined, but it makes me feel like I'm doing something.
