Hi, basically I tried rendering poser figures in vue 5 esprit but the moment I want anything in any decent quality for film editing, it takes about 64 hours to render 4 seconds of film. This is at 300,000 polygons. I have an amd x2 processor at 3800mhz and an nvidia GeForce 6800 GS graphics card, 2 gigabytes of ram. I decided therefore to render the environment seperate to my poser figure and add shadows in post production after putting them two film clips together using alpha channels. problem - Pinnacle studio 8 doesn't support this. Not only that but this version of pinnacle and every other version that has come out is really unstable and has a tendency to crash while rendering. I want to find a cheap and reliable program that allows me to use alpha channels and do post production work - alternatively could someone help me with my slllllooowwww rendering problem? Perhaps I could import vue 5 esprit environments into poser - poser seems to render faster than vue...
