o.k., mike, thanks for the scrnshot. if anybody wants those items in poser, it may be possible to request those in kupa's PP2010 thread, hopefully this week, before the thread drops off the page.

I understand the part about setting bounces, but it may currently be simplified so the user only has to set ray-trace bounces, presumably because GI bounces are fixed at 3 (or some other figure designed to allow quick renders) by the software, just prior to render.  they may be able to add more  variables to the render GUI if enough people show interest and they have the budget.  but I hope most users can become accustomed to the current set-up first.  99.9% of these users have not tried to do GI renders in poser prior to the introduction of this new render GUI.
