I  found that Poser 5 (with SR4) actually renders faster than Poser 6 (with SR2) when using several merchandise items released before P6.  P6 also crashes/freezes sometimes when rendering older merchandise products.

Has anybody ever tried loading P6 James, P6 Jessi and Miki characters and clothings into Poser 5 ? And if so, do they work well in P5?

Thanks!

You'll have to save them with "Extdernal Morphtargets" disabled first, or all the morphs will have gone. But other than that, they should work ok.

I'm just curious.. I had nothing but crashes/freezes on Poser 5 - those have ALMOST gone in Poser 6. The only problem I've notice is on some P5 glass material, the refraction somehow makes P6 stop dead in its tracks. Yet if I delete the refraction node and manually enter it again with the same values, it works ...

Poser in a nutshell :m_laugh:

Hi, thank you very much ernyoka1 (TrekkieGrrrl).

Did you have SR4 installed with your P5 ? 

In recollection, I encountered crashes/freezes problems more often with P6 (w/ SR2) after installing a specific merchant product.  Then I tried going back to P5 (with SR4), and it worked smoothly and even rendered faster.

I do hope that I can stay with P6, and don't have to go back to P5.

Thanks again.
