Silverblade33: The tips you provided in the tutorial really do save system resources. In the image I'm working on, the majority of the figures were in the middle to far distant background. (instead of reducing the image size in Poser, I'm doing it in Vue. A little slower perhaps, but its working) I did try reducing the number of polygons per figure at one time, but with little effect on the overall file size. Now that I know that its the image map that's causing the problem, (how did I miss that?) I can do something about it. For these distant figures, the bump map would be unimportant, as you would not be able to discern details anyway.

SkinVue: Oops, should have written you as dburdick.
