so I just updated poser 10 to SR3.1 and I had about ten renders in the render Cache and they appear to be gone... my question is... are they really gone?

When you installed the SR, did you tell it to backup existing preference files?  If so, I believe you will find them in a subfolder in users/computer/AppData/Roaming/Poser/10 if you are using Windows; they would be in a similar location on a Mac...

yeah I did and they aren't there

Actually it turns out that it doesn't keep them there; look in the vicinity of UserAppDataLocalTempPoserRenderCache for a backup folder.

I always tell it to keep existing preferences...

okay yes they seem to be there... Thank you so much! now how do I get poser to popthem back up? LOL

I don't know why it isn't looking for them there.  I'd first back them up somewhere safe, and figure out where it's actually keeping the render cache....

just an idea, but Poser chaches only the most recent so-many files, as set in the General Preferences (25 by default). Why not copy those contents into a more definite pool, if you want to keep them from re-doing? Just every day or so, in a start-up or shut-down script or daily task. They are just EXR image files, ready for photoshop or alike...

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.

visit www.aRtBeeWeb.nl (works) or Missing Manuals (tutorials & reviews) - both need an update though
