I was just going to post the something along the lines as BB did, glad I did read all of the posts first. It's a known and even reported bug, but the poser team somehow was never able to fix it. I've had scenes where poser pro would just spent hours rendering with 5% cpu power assigned to the render.

The problem is gone with P8, but P8 amplifies another poser rendering bug...... transparencies. When using transparencies in P8 it will choke FireFly. That happens in previous versions as well, but has become worse in P8.

Seems like the poser team just isn't able to tackle some of these persistent bugs. Instead of focusing on new features, they should deal with killing all these carried over bugs in P8.

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(

Food for thought.....
