He he, on this point of hiding the more complicated UI / features from "non-advanced" users... seriously... surely if someone buys Poser Pro... or indeed Poser 9, they'd like to at least know they have the capablities featured.

Otherwise they'd just get Debut... or download some freebie or other.

But yes please to more multi-threading, per the most recent posts.

Is there a reason that IDL and Ray tracing passes are apparently limited to not much more than 25% of my i7 quad core capability (when SSS consumes everything it possibly can) ...under OS X.

Re-nicing the processes doesn't seem to help...

But it can't be cpu to memory ratios if SSS consumes the whole CPU potential, can it?

Sorry... sliding off topic here and rambling. LOL... and I should probably install SR2.1 before pursuing this point further... likely back in that Rdna thread I started on this...

wonders off, scratching head
