"May we ask why you wish to render with IDL for animation?"

Simply because using IDL seems so much easier to set up than the regular Poser lighting method in order to get the effects I find visually appealing.  After struggling with Poser's lights ever since Poser 4, I really liked IDL.  Too bad I apparently won't be able to use it unless I want to endure extremely long render times hobbling along on one thread on my new multithread-capable system.  Kind of like having a Ferrari but not being able to get it out of first gear.

Sigh...

Reality sets in, but life goes on.

I'll play around with the Poser Render settings and try some things in my video editing program (Premiere CS6) to see if that reduces some of the surface flickering to an acceptable level, but I really think I'm back to the world of standard Poser light rigs again.

Thanks to every one for paitently helping me learn some things.
