Yeah, shadow-maps always caused a similar issue in Poser.  I actually didn't realize that was checked off until I posted the screen captures.  Interesting there are shadow-mapped AND ray-traced shadow-maps.  I'll give that a shot first, if that doesn't help I'll try the others.

Although, Geo at 100%?  Wow, doesn't that kill render times?  Also, just curious why no Texture AA?

Thanks, Shawn.
