Yeah, what vopehov506 said.  :-(

I guess the developers and the testers were so busy playing with their new Supahtoy that they didn't bother to check if any of their "new and improved" features would cause problems with the old render engine.

I'll need to run a few more tests, but as I have zero interrest in Superfly at the moment, this might be the first version of Poser I have to return for a refund.

See, I'm NOT against improvements AT ALL. If Superfly one day works as reliably and predictably as Firefly (and comes with a nice OpenGL preview), I'd be more than happy to invest 2K in a new laptop with a proper GTR card.

But as it looks now, even the slight performance gain in Firefly comes with a problem.

BTW, the material room is hosed, too.

Whenever I change matrials, the OpenGL preview gets wonky.

A "reload texture" can usually fix this, but this is quite tiresome when you try to develop new shaders.

Using the material room also was the only time I managed to crash Poser 13 to desktop.
