Quote - I agree the Poser 7 technics are trash, even if i prefer to use it than the newer versions of poser.

I have to always make a 2nd file of my projects. sometimes it happens, that while the program crashes during a render, the whole file is damged and only good for the trash.

i make the body shadows now most time with photoshop, just use a quick render to see where to put the shadows. it saves a lot of render time.  the same i do with the sharpness tool in photoshop.

 

Hmm!?

Never had that problem. When I was working in Poser 4 it crashed a LOT!

So I got used real quick to save all changes as I went along to make sure that didn't happen.

Now if Poser crashes it just closes but the saved file is no longer in RAM but saved on the hard drive so I don't lose anything......that is as long as the hard drive doesn't crash too and that has happened a few times too but not recently.

THe nice thing about a laptop is the battery acts as a backup power in the event power goes out. But I can't tell you how many hours of work I have lsot since I started working in a digital environment because of these darn power spikes, browns and outs while working on desktop units....and believe it or not most of them have occured while backing up!!!!!
