There are other things that Poser 5 doesn't like : shadows. I have a strong enough computer (for a non professional) and I have installed the SR1 patch. Everything runs smoothly in Poser 5 and in the Firefly renderer as long as I don't ask it to calculate any shadow. If I click on the "shadows" option in the render options, then the rendering slows exponentially and finally freezes, sending me a "C exception". That's quite exasperating to see that Curious Labs sells a non working product, and even more to see that they don't answer to my e-mails, not even to say "OK, we'll work on this one". I'm begining to consider going back to Poser 4... As for polygon smoothing, it was one of the main reasons I bought Poser 5 : I wanted to have pictures of humans that looked natural, and not with polygonal shoulders. I hope that CL will fix all the bugs quickly.
