Ok, guess I can talk now.

If you get poser pro, and have a 64 bit OS, make sure you use background rendering.. this uses the 64 bit renderer. SM claims that only "some" speedups are in place, but on my system here, I see render times about twice the speed of P7. Could be ram use, could be optimisations, all I know Is things are much faster!

I still need to set box picking to "1" in the poser ini due to ati's crap latest drivers.. May's driver supposedly corrects vista opengl issues. (I see similar issues in lightwave as well.)

Poser Pro's displacement bugs are finally squashed, and displacement is as good as anything else out there. Best quality setting in the rendering advance options are pixel samples=8, shading set to 0

All the warcow's promo renders were done in poser pro, because I could just do them so much faster then in P7.

my system:

dual core athlon 5000+, 4 gig ram, visat 64 ultimate, ati x1950 pro 512 with the latest drivers.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
