Quote -  I assume you mean more then 3 gigs of memory. This is already possible with Poser Pro and Vista 64. Without an 64-bit OS there won't be more than 3 gigs of memory. 

I don't know if someone already answered that but it is also possible with Poser Pro and XP Prof 64 which I like much more than Vista because Vista needs much more RAM than XP Prof 64 that your app could use better otherwise.

Quote - I am running PP and Windows 7 64 bit and it still only uses 3 gigs when rendering and I have 12 gigs and an I7 true quadcore, so if you have a secret please give it up!

I had this problem with Bryce6 on Windows XP Pro 64 but it worked after I used 'Large Adress Aware' (LaaTiDo.exe  -> http://www.musikbanken.se/TechLaaTiDo.aspx). Maybe this little and free program helps in Vista or Windows 7 too (it was released for Windows XP 32bit to trick the 3GB limit, but it works also with XP Prof 64!) ?

If your computer has a 64-Bit Operating System, Poser Pro will use its 64-Bit FireFly Render Engine to access as much memory as possible. To utilize the 64-Bit FireFly Render Engine, you must select Render in Background.

1. You don't have to select that because, if Poser Pro really needs lots of memory it simply closes after some time and the Render engine does it work by itself in the background as you can see in the Task Manager. I used the Render in Background only once, it's not really needed to select it. You can render as you want!

I have 6 GB RAM and PoserPro.exe , which uses only a small percentage of CPU (Core2Duo E 4600, 2400 Mhz) before rendering, closes when the Task Manager shows it's already over 5,5 GB, the FF64Render.exe  engine uses then 100 % of the CPU until it's finished. You nevertheless can open Poser Pro again and see in the Render window how far your render is finished and close PoserPro.exe in the Task  Manager while the FF64Render64.exe continues to work.

2. justdusty did not ask about rendering but about addressing the amount of his RAM memory. You need memory for setting up scenes with lots of characters even before you render.

Quote - I think that's right, Deecey. I don't have 64-bit OS so I've never been able to try it with Pro.

No, it's not right. :-) But my thanks for your tutorials, I learned a lot that way.

You mentioned something about User Interface in other languages as Japanese, French and German. Do you know whether Poser 8 will be published in other languages as Poser 7 was?
