To get better performance while using poser on a low end machine--turn of your Anti-Virus while posering!  Anti-Virus will eat you out and home if you have constricted machine specs.  Mine is low end, now-a-days, and I turn off all unneccesary programs and operations while using poser. Poser is a resource hog, and doesn't play well with others.

When the parm dials bog down, you'll have to section your scene into layers.  In general--the lower poly figures are lighter on the machine than higher poly figures. Polygons are like weight, and your machine can only carry so much before it stops.  If the parm dials start sticking--you're about over-loaded.

Do BG stuff, save as png. Do mid-ground stuff--save as png.  Do fore-ground stuff--save as png.  Put them all together, and you're through.  Takes practice, but it works.

Otherwise--get a newer, bigger machine.  I NEED a newer, bigger machine! :lol:
