Your pic is awsome! We keep getting closer and closer to reality. (i.e., photographic) Re: your question ... I don't believe it has anything to do with the textures - the lockup, I mean. It has something to do with the way Windows manages (or doesn't) available memory. (regardless of the amount of RAM) A case in point... I started with 128MB of RAM. Very few lockups. I increased RAM to 384MB. Had frequent lockups. (after several renders) I decreased RAM to 256MB. Less lockups, but they still occur. I haven't noticed any lockups when I am only using small props with little or no texturing. It may be that lockup would still occur after many, many renders, also. I don't know. But it appears to be a "system" (i.e., swapfile size, use, etc.) type of problem and no fault of the textures [per se]. cheers, dr geep <------------------------------(lookin' fer the key to open up them lockups) ;=]

Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"

cheers,

dr geep ... :o]
