Bill,

Thanks again for that indepth detailed explanation.  I have one of the lower end processors, am aware of that, so I think (actually know) I'll have to upgrade. 

I have put TONS of effort into the night lighting effect.  Just out of curiosity, what is GC? If you'll pardon my asking, still relatively new at Poser and all these terms. 

I'm hoping it won't take weeks to finish this -- Im trying to get it done, it's going on 16 hours now of Render time :-O). 

When I do the quick and dirty render, works great for the testing of it.  It's now officially 3/4s done in the IDL set up, so I'll let this finish.  If it's not done by tonight, I hope it will be, I'm hoping it's worth it.  Then I'll full around with adjusting more of those settings you mentioned.

Glad I'm doing it right and rendering over night.  Thought that would be the best way to do it.

Wish there was a batch way to render, would be easier and be able to get multiple edits done. 

Would love to know what GC is -- not sure what you mean by that, and am curious on anything to help with night lighting -- planning on alot of night scenes in the future, now that I have the lighting where I like it in Poser, but if it makes it easier will be worth it :-)
