Okay, I'm trying to do a scene in Poser 5 using its volumteric lighting abilities. I set up the Vicky 3 and Mike 2 character (with clothing) and set the lights where I wanted them. I then went to the lights and adjusted the nodes so I could get volumteric lighting.
Every other time that I render a scene, I get an error message saying that Poser is out of memory. This can't be! I have over 3G of memory and 2 100G hard drives! What is going on?
I downloaded and installed both service packs for Poser 5, so that can't be the problem.
My system specs are:
This message was meant as sarcasm. Please do not offer "correct" advice on how to tweak Poser to work on a Windows 95 system. Although it will go right over the heads of the people that most need it, I think everyone will agree that a top-of-the-line computer means nothing if it's running an obsolete operating system. This has been a public service announcement urging everyone to upgrade off of DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows 98, especially if they're trying to run any 3-D programs!

I agree about the OS. I upgraded everything on my computer system 1 Gig memory doubled the processor speed used every memory manager and utility out there and still had extremely slow renders and frequent lockups. I finally gve in and upgraded from Win98 to XP. My performance increased by almost drastically (11.5 min to 2 min for a single render).

{Get a Mac} Good suggestion. Last night I went out and got myself a super-fast, super-high-end, custom-built G5. But, Poser still won't work. Do I have to use a Mac version or something? :) Or does it have antyhing do with the fact that it's running System 6?
