I agree. a two min render is pretty fast compared to those old bryce renders. I remember one where I used a reflective disk "spaceship" over a landscape that took 8 hours on my old Quadra 660AV. probably would take 30 seconds in Poser to render.

my problem with the bucket size is where I've got one small detail in the render like a reflective belt buckle or teeth that are smaller than a bucket that hang an entire 64x64 bucket...i much rather it hang a smaller bucket for a shorter period of time. I do have 16 GB of ram so if there is some magic to this I would love to know.

I thought MSR was per item...you can set the MSR on the render settings as low as you want but the program defaults to the MSR set on the objects properties. So if an object needs finer detail than the rest of the render you can adjust this.

BTW I need to thank you for your excelent Poser manuals...the only time I ever saw anybody explaining why GC did what it did instead of just telling me to to set to 1.0 because that was the way it was done.

So...Yes . I'm interested in the "why" as well!!
