By render wipe, do you mean the process where the new render overwrites the previous render? This is the way it was back in Poser 7. I used to love watch my mistakes correct themselves. Anyway, you're not a nong. I'm still finding out stuff that could make my life easier if I just taken the time to learn it or even better, knew that it existed! I mean I've still never mastered the fitting room as many have done apparently.

BTW, the way I do my comics is to compile the scene, do the background and characters in separate renders and then combine them in photoshop. It sounds like I could use the Queue Manager to do the background and then work on the main characters.
