WandW reports loading times are longer with the latest version of DSON.

I haven't tried it yet as the current version works fine with me.

Did you also download and re-install the latest versions of the Genesis-1, G2M and G2F base files ?

They got changed, too, to stay compatible with the new DSON importer.

Have you updated Poser with the latest SR ?

(BTW, Poser is doing some funny stuff with saved scenes now and seems a bit more "crash-prone" than with SR2.)

And, yeah, saving Genesis as a cr2 once it loads via the DSON importer is what I always do.

I first switch off the permanent subdivision by using the DSON support scripts in the script menu, change to "Unimesh Skinning" under "Figure" and then set the subdivision in the body actor so that it is only used for the actual render but not the OpenGL preview.
