I have a few lights that everytime I apply them they freeze up the render. Even if I am just doing a quick poser 4 draft render to check how they will look. It gets to the loading textures and never leaves that screen. I have waited up to 20 minutes just for a draft render. I am running xp with 512 ram with a Radeon 9600 128mb video card. Thanks for any help, Beth

One thing to check is to make sure that you delete any lights that are "off" (they will show as black dots). Try deleting all lights before applying a light set...and the fewer lights the better until you get a feel for Poser 5. Traveler at RuntimeDNA has excellent light sets (for free) that never cause a problem (as far as I know).

If you haven't loaded the SR3 patch, do so. That fixes a number of light problems.

There is still an issue when rendering animation, even after SR3. Lights will sometimes become animated by themselves, after making a change at a certain keyframe. So always, before commencing your render, check to make sure the light(s) did not add their own keyframe and if so, naturally delete it. Also, unchecking/checking ANIMATED under a light's properties will not always "stick." Not sure why, but P5 switches it right back. -Tim

I am getting the same problem. I just bought Poser 5 and added service pack 3. I have AMD 2800 with 1 Gig of Ram and media hard drives. I was only using Vic 1, background picture and Volts Light which I have used over and over on Poser Pro. The render keeps freezing.
