Yeah. Turning "cast shadows" off doesn't seem to do anything; it just hangs in the middle, same as always. Haven't played with the lights as yet, since they're somewhat critical to the piece. May have to just break down and screw around with 'em. I've had this problem too, when rendering large pictures with figures in it; I'm using Mike, with PosaNation's Gen-X hair and Catherina's Tomy textures, if that helps.
