same images with 2 vics used no more memory than those with one vic<<< This is probably due to the fact that once the geomtry is read for the first vic in the scene, that it doesnt need to be loaded and read for the second as it already has been read. It would be interesting therefore to see results with 1 vic (nothing else), 2 vics, 3 vics and so on to see if this were true. What I would like to know though is, is this the application (poser) being clever and realising it has already read the file, or is it just the OS&RAM just storing the information for future use and quick reusage(eg like clipboard etc.).
