> Quote - content? its hard to have a high poly M4 and a high poly room in my scene. it renders slow.

then ask yourself whats wrong with that?

I rendered this in 10 minutes. thats 17 high poly models, with textures, raytracing on. rendered with poser pro on a XP32 AMD Athlon 64x2 system with 3gb ram.

no errors, no fuss. ten minutes to setup, 10 minutes to render.

ok. so where does the problem lie? did you check over the content? your settings? made sure there's nothing in memory causing a problem? (been caught like that before. trueSpace was hanging on exit and jamming one core. kept making poser pro lock. no fault of poser tho.... all sorts of strange things happen when there's a hung process...)

we've all gotten into the habit of going 'poser slow!' etc instead of taking apart what we're trying to do and fixing it.

the way this is going, by the time we  get to poser 10 it will be a 'Make Art' button.
