I've been having trouble rendering three or more Vicki characters together when each figure is using a different texture map. I get a message that "a requested bump (or texture) map is missing or can't be read." I know that all my maps are properly saved and formatted because I've used them successfully when rendering individual figures. It's the use of three or more that causes the problem. I know that Vicki's maps are very large and require a lot of memory. I'd conclude, then, that the problem lies in insufficient memory. But I've upped the memory for Poser to 300 megs of RAM! This already borders on the ridiculous, so I don't think RAM is the problem. Has anyone tried creating smaller Vicki maps to save memory? Are the maps, in fact, the source of the trouble? Is anyone here using multiple Vickis (and multiple Vicki maps) without difficulty?
