1 V3, No clothes, No hair
DAZ Jester Hat
2 P4 dogs
1 tent CR2 (Sixus1's circus tent)
3 lights (I IBL, I spot, 1 Point)


Original scene had 1 IBL, 2 Infinates, 1 Spot, 1 Point set to Spec only but:

Scene rendered in Both P6 SR3 and P7 SR1
Installed SR1.1 and nowP7 almost instantly gave message "Problem with Raytrace, try reducing...yadda yadda yadda)

hmmm, used Python Script to remove all lights and revert to 3 lights described above:

Also noted that Shadow Cameras no longer show you the 'angle' of your spot lights (ie, change angle and shadow cam no longer updates)
And after deleting lights the original Shadow Cameras did not delete. Even after applying a different light set from library, however after I manually deleted and then added a light suddenly POP the correct Shadow Cameras suddenly showed up...
Also noted that light controls seem 'wackier' and now harder to control
Also noted the delete thing again as well (noted by earlier post)
Still does not load any Bump maps (not displacement, not gradient bumps - "bump" node maps) and instead it loads only a small preview of the original and appears that is was actually gets applied during render (perhaps how they lay claim to "faster render" by forcing a reduced resolution map...? go figure)

I conclude; its still broken, unless the "Render in separate Process" is an issue then stay on SR1, better yet, use Poser 6 that has far less issues and better stability compatability.
