I'm installing Poser on a new machine, and it's been so long I forgot what settings are recommended.

In the render preferences...how many threads should I let Poser use? I seem to recall that you're not supposed to set it at max. And should I check "separate process" or not?

It should be fine if you let the Poser installer use its defaults. As for number of threads, Poser will default to the number of cores of your processor(s). So with a simple quad core CPU, Poser will default to 4 render threads. With a HyperThreaded quad core CPU, Poser will default to 8 render threads. If you want to be able to do other things with minimal lag while Poser is rendering, you can lower Poser's priority.

I would generally use separate process. If you have a 32bit machine, separate process is crucial to allow as much memory allotment as possible.

Let the Poser installer place the runtime library in shared documents; do not put your own runtime stuff in program files; User Account Control will block saving files to that runtime.

Thanks for the reply! I have six cores. Not sure about hyperthreading. I guess none, since it appears Poser has defaulted to six.

I forced Poser to install its runtime on an external drive, just because I've always had my runtimes on a separate physical drive. Hope that will be okay.

Windows 10 sure is locked down. Annoyingly so.
