In what order does Poser execute the “Smooth polygons” setting? If I tick “Smooth polygons” in the “Render Settings” menu, does unchecking it on the “Properties” menu for an item override the render settings? Or is it the other way around? If I uncheck the “Smooth polygons” setting in the “Render Settings” menu, does ticking “Smooth polygons” in the “Properties” menu override the render setting?

Also, while it is obvious what a “Shadow Min Bias:” of 3.0 inches does to TerraDome or Cyclorama, as AprilYSH asks, what does it do to the smoothing/shadows of a figure like Alyson or Victoria 4.2? One might easily have a background object like Cyclorama and a forground and close-up object like V4.

I observe that “Shadow Min Bias:” setting seems to be thankfully unrelated to the “Display Units” setting in the “Preferences” menu.
