Hello folks :-) I do animations with poser 4.0, but Im tired to block my computer when poser renders a animation with 1000 frames... Is their a way to force poser that it renders in the background meanwhile I use other programms... I think my system (AMD Athlon 650 MHZ and 256 MB Ram) is fast enough to deal with it... Andreas

Force it? No, but if you have Windows 98 or NT (or probably 2000), you can have it render in the background. Just minimize the program (either via Minimize All or the little desktop icon if it's present). It adds about 10-25% to the render time (or more, if you're using CPU intensive programs in the "foreground), and will slow down the system, but you can do it. I usually surf the web during renders myself... :-)

if you use win2k you can set it a low priority in the task manager......Steve
