A couple of questions. 1. Does deleting say 10 or so unused face morphs save enough memory to be worth the hassle - would this speed up anim render times? 2. Does hiding body parts covered by clothing decrease anim render times. 3. Do transmaps significantly effect render times? tanx

Hi - 1) No... renderings really a processor thing; if the MTs not in use, it shouldnt affect the work Poser does at animation time. 2) No... Ive found that this makes no difference. The calculations are made during render time on the visible surface/s. 3) You betcha!!... This is a MAJOR cause of slowwwwww animation times. But, since you cant really do much about this on, say, particular nice hairstyles, youve gotta either sit back and wait or invest in a killer `puter ;-)
