oh for pete's sake... in desparate effort to speed up the render I had turned OFF a "trace transparency".... that fixed it... BUT I can't get the BLUR effect to go away no matter how I get CRISP to be in effect or turn sliders/settings up or down.. the blur TAKES AWAY THE DETAIL of maps... as shown on the buttefly wings....

Now THIS... the BLURING thing along with the poser import slowing down vue is paramount importance.
