On my way! I love having a sure thing in my virtual pocket to know that the night will end well. Betsy

From what curious Labs has explained to me... yes. I talked to Mr. Hernadez at curious labs after alot of y customers were emailing me that they couldn't render high res maps on 98 or ME. Basically the way he explained the problem was that 98 and ME were programmically incapable of providing memory in one block at more than 128mb. For most programs this is now problem, most programs don't use that much ram at a time. However, Poser asks for lots of memory and all at one time for the dreaded render. Is there a work around? Other than upgrading to an NT kernel software... not that I know of. Betsy

Welcome to the money pit... oh I mean the Poser Communtiy. Just lamenting about where all my Christmas money is going on all this fun stuff I have missed out on. Tow things that should help a ton: Goto poserarcana.com. They have great tutorials. Also check the archives here for other tutorials and the archive of past tech tips. If all else fails, post a question and have a ton of experts answer :) Betsy

Ok now this is a memory problem. Two things will cause this. So i will give both answers PC: if you are on a Win 98 or ME operating system, then Windows will only allot memomry upto a 128 block at a time. With current Poser version, the render still requests one block of memory, and for a high res texture it will need at least 300 mb of ram. So you may have 500 mb of RAM but if on 98 or ME, it can't be put to good use. The answer, upgrade to 2000. MAC: Change your memory allocation settings to Poser minimum 150000k and preferred 250000k. That will fix most problems but you may need to allocate more memory to it. Hope that helps. Betsy

Best Wishes Cooper!! Tell Grover hey as well. Betsy

You can find his email on DAZ's website under the brokered artist page :)

LOL... my father recently had a motorcycle crash. So this parting of ways was really a blesing so I could help my mom out and run her business for her. I think I can still find time for a render or two. hehehe Betsy

Thought there was one made by DRAX. i didn't get a chance to make the installer before i left. You might just email the artist and ask for one. Betsy

Tear... didn't know i was so loved!! Thank you guys and see ya around PS. i gave the eye problem to chad and he wil take care of it. Cheers Betsy

Hey ron! On the eyebrows, I would guess he uses different naming conventions. You may just have to go in manually and apply the maps to eyebrows and uppereyebrows. AMke sure you have a good trans map too. Betsy

Hey Whitey!! This means that you need to download and update the patch for Poser. You can get the Poser 4.03 patch at curiouslabs.com1 This will fix this problem and others Take care! Betsy

Poppi, My daughter works at DAZ. I happen to know that DAZ only works 9-5 Monday thru Friday, so Annemarie is not ignoring you, she is probably just not working and hasn't seen your reply yet. : ) Ryoko

Veamon, Rain: I think that the Patch requires more memory and so if you are running low on physical or virtual memory it may lock up. Rendering takes a S@#$ load of memory. Adjust your memory settings, or get more RAM. Otherwise, save and pray! Ryoko

So true TJ. No matter what angle you look at it, i'm still lost as to what all the bitching is about! LOL Ryoko

Is this the same one that went on sale at DAZ today or a different one? If different where can I get this one!!
