JPG compression 75

OK 
Found it..
Bucket size it says 64
Shadowcasting and Raytracing are off.
Displacement  0

I'm trying it like this and see what will happen.

Miss Nancy! Ain't that the TRUTH! LOL

Tirjasdyn....... Where's my bucket? :0?

Thanks folks.

OK.
Tastiger: I have no render to show you :0(
Randy:    Not getting as far as Exporting an image.
Teyon:    I am just using 'out of the box' P7 Firefly settings.
Tomsde: I suppose it could be an issue, but th system is fairly well specced 
                  see resume below.

2.00 Gig AMD64:
2 Gig RAM:
128Meg 6800GT Graphics ( updated driver today ;0) )

SAMS3D: Don't know TBH

PJZ99 : Never been an issue with Poser 6 ...Things running in the background and still churning out the basic test render I am referring to in about 30 seconds....P7 chokes and freezes.

Wonder if it could be Sydney or her hair, that is the only other difference ??? :0/

Thanks folks for the input so far!

Klutz :0)

Tried that....Graphics driver updated...Seems quicker graphics generally...

Hasn't solved the problem though...

One Sidney plus hair hit render on Firefly auto and it choks then freezes! :0(

Nige, try to find the latest driver for your graphics card --it makes a huge difference.
So far rendering works fine with me --and fast!... :)

I'll do that now, Panos....

Good idea..Thanks for the prompt!

I was using auto default, but reduced it to auto draft. :0/

Klutz: you might want to try to build the test scene in P7 instead of opening an old P6 scene. I recall having some problems like that when I upgraded to P6 from P4; the errors were actually in some of the figure Cr2s (there was some extra garbage in them that P6 didn't like) and not in the render engine; you might be running into something like that.

It is even more basic than that, BC

I am talking about loading a single figure, no props, posing and rendering from scratch.

Here is what i posted in another thread...It may have got buried ;0)

' It seems to be awfully slow at a simple test render. I am really beginner level at this TBH.

I am talking minimalist stuff here, one figure and no props. One that I could do in P6 in about 30seconds seems to bog down and even freeze it.

I have backed off the auto Firefly render to draft quality, but it still seems awfully slow!

Must have some things checked as default that P6 doesn't I suppose?

Anybody else got an issue like this?

I have similar rendering issues! :0/

Just getting it do do a simple test render it struggles compared to P6 :0(

This is before you think about Exporting.

I posted fuller details on another recent thread.

Just a suggestion.....

If you have the hard drive space, copy the runtime to an external location and access it from both P7 & P6 if you find you have cause to need to.

Once you have created it and named the new runtime, spark up Poser and goto the top level of the library pallette. (It should show 'Poser 7' with a red dot against it and 'Downloads.'

You will see a + button at the bottom of the pallette.

Click on it and the legend 'Add Runtime' appears...You can then direct it to find your new external Runtime.

It works....I have just done it myself with my V4 Runtime as I was typing this! ;0)

HTH

The good  news is, the rendering engine does indeed seemed to be much improved. The quality of a FireFly render is a bit better in the fine details from what I can can tell, but the big thing is that is doesn't die on large render scene...P6 would choke up and die like clockwork with anything more than 3 figures in a scene at once (out of memory errors, and my machine has 2GB of memory!); I've been pushing P7 to try to find it's limits and so far haven't found it! This is a very good thing, and that alone makes it worth the purchase.

Oddly I am having a hard time at the render issue. 

I am no expert at render setting by a long way.

Just a quick test render at default firefly that would be done in about 30 seconds in P6 chokes and freezes. Reduce it to draft quality....It does it but it chugs...

Bit puzzled actually...

I installed totally seperate to the P6 installation. 

At least you know where you are then! ;0)

I have copied across some earlier content I wanted to use successfully.

As to rendering......

HHmmm that is another tin of biscuits! :0/

Oh I'm sorry...

That is really frustrating for you, Stormchaser...... :0(

Deep breath and go again when you have regained enough patience!
