There is an area render in Poser 7.  It's the icon next to the render button, a camera with a dotted box if memory serves me right (I'm at work so I can't check exactly)

Thanks! I gotta check that out.

I'm glad you didn't have problems with Poser 5--but I bought it when it first came out and it took about 2 years for them to release suffceint patches so that it was useable.

P5 was a horror story for the developers as well,  as the German company that bought CL pretty well demanded it be shoved out the door before it was ready because the parent company was hemmoraging money on other, more lavish projects and needed cash fast. The users screamed at the development team while the parent company just skipped the software off onto eF. I've never liked that particular injustice when people bitch about P5, but that's why it happened.

BTW: that's not a casual rumour. It's straight from CL. You have no idea how bitter they are about the P5 fiasco.
