iloco, I agree that my system is not the norm, but even MY system was crashing like crazy with the final release.  So in comparison, the latest release for me seems the most stable.

I have to say Im liking the new fix for V6I. Im doing a new pic that has 12 poser objects, 5 lights, various terrains and misc objects - and in designing it, no crashes. Im rendering it to disk with GI at 9x11 @300 dpi and it took 2 1/2 hours. And yes there is still some memory leaks but its working (for me) WAY better than either the prefinal prelease or the final release.
That said I remember designing a pic in V5I (Sirens - in my gallery) that had 3 medusa ships, 3 poser figures and various misc objects with no problems. So V6I is not anywhere near the power of V6I.
However, I have a quad processor, 16 gigs of Ram and a 1 gig video card, so perhaps memory leakage doesn't really affect me as much as others.

Actually I was quite happy with the last release (not the final). Leave it to EOn to piss in my cornflakes.
And Im still a little but insensed that they want us to purchase the book for $55. Since the pre-release purchasers did a lot of their bug searches for them you would think they would ship out a book to us. The print cost plus shipping would MAYBE cost $12 - not only are they charging us - they are making a profit.

I left a complaint with Eon bitching about the memory problems and constant crashing and was told that "they are aware of the problem and will be addressing it with the next release and that THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THAT WOULD BE."
He summed it up nicely with a "thanks for the input".
Ive gone back to using the version prior to the new release.
Funny enough though, I was trying to render a scene that kept constantly crashing on both the final release and the prior one. So I deleted object by object to see what was causing the crash. I never knew that there could be an object in a scened that could a) be rendered in preview but keep crashing in printing to disc modes.
..meh, who knew?

I have to agree with everyone. I keep getting memory problems with the final release and I have a mother of a system! Quad processor, 1 gig video card and 16 gigs of ram - and I still get crashes and at times im down to 14% system resource.
Im glad for the forum here, otherwise I would have never known that others were having the same problem Im having.
I hope they fix this in the inevitable final release patch.

Pjz99  - Everytime I load her from my figures liabrary. If its existing its ok.
Another problem I find is when you click on a body part it morphs on its own. Im working on a commision and Im using Simon. Ill click on a part (his leg for example - and it will either balloon or shrink - WTF!?

The service release didnt seem to fix the problem of Poser crashing every time I load up V4...is anyone else having this problem?
Is there a way to correct it?

Thanks

This is unreal, I can't believe this has turned into such a shitstorm and has blown WAY out of porportion.
For the record:
Rickymavetty: I dont' have a problem disagreeing with my point of view - I love conflict - however stick with the issue, make a personal attack as shonner did "weak ego and whiney" and Ill let you know how I feel.
I think the thumbnail rule is shite - my opinion. In order to keep posting my images here I have to comply with regulations - doesn't mean I won't state my opinion. You can keep stating that rendo is a business and "blah blah"....I know how to run a business - I have 7 of them.
Some poster previously asked if I think that I am somehow above the rules as I am an "elite" artist - no, not by any stretch (but thanks for the compliment). This is nothing more than my stating my opinion on something that I think is ridicuouls.
Pjzz99 - your standpoint was well thought out and stated - too bad it was skirted by other posters.
What I find amusing is that people state "that they find this arguement stupid or a waste of time" yet they still feel the need to put in their own 2 cents.
Again to Ricky - you somehow feel that I have failed to raise the winds of revolt merly because I have just "complained." Im not looking to change policy - I could give a shit if the thumb rule changes or not. I think its stupid and I said so nothing more, nothing less.

Shonner - that was a pretty ballsy statement and easy to say from behind a computer. First off, this has nothing to do with a weak ego, nor was it a whiny statement. It had to do with a particular rule that I found unneeded. I don't care what the motivating reasoning is behind it - I had a problem with it - and I always say whats on my mind.
How do attribute my rant as a weak ego - had they said something along the lines of "your art shouldn't decorate the walls of a toilet" thats a blow to the ego.  Stick to modelling your coffee pots before you make a judgement call on my personality.

If I have a bloody problem with something Im going to speak up about it - I don't think for one second that the loss of me posting here will cause the higher ups at rendo to lose sleep. BUT to sit back and not raise my opinion with something that pisses me off is beyond my capacity.
And why is it when a topic has been brought to light again - there is without fail, some idiot claiming "that this has been discussed a thousand times". 
I understand that by posting here I have to comply with their regulations - thanks for the "Introduction to business" lesson. However just because something is regulation doesn't make it just and reasonable - and if I have something to say - Ill say it.
And to rickymaveety - the side of her butt is not nudity (to me). Her exposed nipple - yep...got me there. However...I really didn't see it. And you'd have to agree that you have to look for it.

I wanted to show her butt - simple answer as to why I lowered the "fish" part. It was a commisioned piece.
I didn't put a nudity flag because I didn't see nudity, I was unaware as to how stringent the nudity clause is.
As for the "no nudity" in thumbs - that justification is bordering on asinine. If people want to see nudity or porn - there are millions of sites to do so. The thumbnails are all a series of headshots now. Boring and bordering on fanatic. And I love to know the motivating reason - and don't insult my intelligence by claiming its because they are afraid of some non-member perusing the gallery and...oh my....a nipple!?

Lol...nice one jroland.

Does anybody know when the first service release is coming out?

Well said,  Cobra eye. Perfectly explained.

Cobra can you detail out how you would go about doing it. I.E a displacement map and a separate bump map?
Thanks
