I was doing a torture-test last night, trying to see how much I could cram into a fantasy scene. I put off inserting the human figures til last, knowing they would slow down loading of everything after, and I was couldn't help noticing how llllooooonnnnnggggg it took for each successive figure to load. the last one before I had to shut it down took 8 minutes just to load into the scene, and I really wanted another 8-12 figures at least! I use the Poser 4 Lo-Rees figures a lot for setup, testing, etc. It's a lot faster and easier on resources to pre-set the characters in a scene using the Lo-Res Figs in rough poses, then "swap" them out for the needed characters for fine-tuning & the final setup prior to render. Does anyone know if there are texture-templates for these figures? I couldn't find any on the Poser Disks. A few basic textures with uniforms, armors, street clothes, etc. for these would make crowd scenes & battle scenes much faster, and make good background figures. I suppose I could make templates from UVMapperPro, but that'd have to wait until I can buy it. Any help appreciated :-)

You can use the free version of UVmapper. The download is on the same site. www.uvmapper.com

Wow Jeff, you're really fast; I'll check that out! Many Thanks!

LG If you want the templates made I'll send you them...wether there are already made textures for them is another story. Perhaps thats your nich into the market {:OP -LW

Actually it turned out to be dead-simple. Hope I can get some time in the next couple of days to play with it.

Pretty busy scene!! Looks quite neat even without rendering. -LW

Ooops; I must be more tired than I thought. I'll try again, & delete the last one, to cut down on loading time. Composition is lousey, lighting iffy, but I'm pleased with how far I could "torture" poser without crashing. By the way, the Citadel is from lordswarrior's new UltimateCastle set (Beta Version), the Dragon is the Ultimate Dragon free prop, Monks, wagon, and a lot of other items are various imported meshes from Baument, 3D Cafe, etc. Trees from Virtual Forest Figures from P4, RMW-Knight, the Chromeknight, one of Deimos' Character Paks, and several items from freestuff and the Dark Ages Kit. (Whew! hard to keep track - my apologies to anyone I forgot to mention specifically!)

"Dragon is the Ultimate Dragon free prop" Isn't the UD a purchase product?

THe UD is commercial, "Ultimate Dragon free prop" is a free download - one of 2 free, static meshes I D/L from the Ultimate Dragon site. I used the prop because it uses less memory than a full dragon character, and it looks cool!
