I understand that Poser 8 has to calculate... stuff... when using indirect lighting before the final rendering phase.

My question is... are all the little red dots meant to signify anything to the user... other than an indication that calculations are being made for the indirect lighting..?

I was thinking that if they don't actually mean anything, or aren't 'readable' would we not be better off without them. Wouldn't the calculation and render phase be much quicker if the program didn't have to plot all the dots in the preview window..?

In effect... its like doing 2 renders at twice the time of the actual render.
