I hesitate to name a product for fear that Renderosity will step on me. (God forbit I should bad-mouth a specific product and hurt sales there-of!) The characters I'm refering to are very new and do all sorts of things on the advanced material panel like "math functions." In the readme for the characters, they plainly state that you must use a specific set of render settings entered on the manual panel. The problem is, these settings make the rest of the scene look like crap, and don't even think about putting a "regular" character in there with him!

BTW... I'm using Poser Pro 7, on a 64 bit XP platform with an AMD 6400+ and 8 gigs of ram. 

If a moderator will give me permission to name a character, I will.
