Quote - No you never said you hated it. It's just the general ..er.. vibe.. in these threads. It wasn't aimed at anyone in particular.. I just know that if I had bought a program and was unable to use it, I would demand a refund instead of lamenting over how much money I'd poured down the drain.

I agree there is a memory leak present in Poser 8 (as in any previous version btw) - I've seen it myself. And if you just let Poser sit and check the task manager it's slowly eating up more and more memory...

That said.. the animation you're doing.. are you rendering that as separate files or as a movie? I've always rendered to separate files.. seems to work best (unless we're talking a 60 frame microscopic thing, and even then I prefer to have it as separate frames)

And of course SM will listen to you. As much as to anyone else. They're not looking at your name to see if it's someone they like. They're looking at the serial number to see that it's a paying customer. :)

Well except for this issue, I LOVE the new library and haven't had any of the issues with it that others have had. I haven't yet played with the new figures. Did a few play renders of GI, some simple some really complex. It's ok for still but there's just no way I'd try to make an animation in Poser 8 with IL turned on. At least not at this stage. I still love me my Poser 6, even though I have 7, 8 and Pro. It is my animation monster. It finished 401 (I forgot to set the end frame to 801, DOH!) of 801 frames and took about 3 times as long as Poser 8 did for the 390 frames it did before it chokes, but it did it without ever going over 1 gig of RAM.

For the most part, I love the new P8. I just hope they can stop up the leaks.
