Hi all and thanks for reading this.

Ive found a strange problem i have not been able to solve. It seems that every M3 i have has now become invisible, ive checked everything i can think of, both Visibility  'normal and ray trace' is on, textures are correct and loaded, render settings seem fine and work on everything else.

The figure is there and can be posed using the posing dials and all items are still propped and visable on screen, just M3 isnt.

even other projects i have done with M3 ive tryed loading are invible now since this prob occured.

It started when i have 6 M3 figures posed and ready for render, im using indirect lighting on a single light source and have renderd it out before with no problem,all AO was taken out of materials at start before andy renders. I accidently added a new light and all M3s  vanished, ive tryed rendering with normal lighting.

Ive closed poser8 anmd reopend it and the problem is still there, ive rebooted and turned off PC and again the problem persists.

Im totalyl lost to what the problem could be and hgave run out of ideas, any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

its ok ive managed to work it out by deleting  a few recent saves, no idea why thats worked but has.

It almost sounds like a RAM memory issue.  Clear out your cache under General Preferences first and see if it improves the situation.  Would using lores textures on your M3's be a viable option?
