Thanks Wabe,

Saving the pz3 as a vob is such a simple solution that I didn't think of it! I'll give it a test.

It's a shame that animations require a live link to the pz3 - but this wouldn't be such a bad thing if you could bundle all of the pz3's textures into one file - making portability much easier. Does Poser 7 offer this?

I've just seen the latest newsletter from e-on, which mentions the Ranch Computing render farm, and it looks like they will only accept a single .vue file. A shame if you have a complex animation with lots of animated Poser characters!

Cheers,

Tom
