I should be the one to be sorry for abusing of your time and patience.
Maybe you can give me hints on what to do and let me experiment with it, then I can come back to you with the results.

Are you saying there are bugs with POSER PRO and I'd be better off getting another version?
If so, which one?
(I previously had a problem with the bucket size that screwed up my renders. It took me ages to solve it)
