I deleted my first reply, 'cause I am trying to be a gentler person :) I >like< the 'tough questions'... only I usually expect them to have some grounding in what actually happened or was said. It's sort of pointless to ask the tough questions about a fictitious event :) Personally I like IB generally, he has a good shoot from the hip thing going that has in the pastcut through a LOT of BS around here. I just hape to think this time around his pointed stick is facing in a really rong direction. Wanna be annoyed? Fine. Want to ask tough questions? Good... but try and be accurate with them... it's more sporting. BTW - A 4K texture means 4096 pixels on a side. Thats 409640963 (bytes) or almost 49MEG of in memory texture footprint. I promise, you don't need all that for what you are almost certainly doing. In order for it to be even remotely relevant, you woud need to be rendering images so close to the skin that the texture was rendering 1 x 1 with the output and then your output size would need to be huge. Under all other circumstances your texture is not rendering 1x1 on the output, and a 3K or 2K texture would be fine. Now, should the restriction go away? I guess it won;t hurt to drop it.... but let's not pretend that this is a feature that is effecting the output of Poser5 in any but the most extreme theoretical conditions.
