So I just finished a render - auto settings set to final, shadows on, firefly render.  When it is finished I noticed these weird black artifacts on the render before I ever exported the image.  If I had been using a camera, I would have said there was dust on my lens.  I have NO idea what might be causing this or how to get rid of it.  I'm going to import the pz3 into poser 6 and see if the same thing happens but, somehow I don't think it's a problem with the pz3 and it's not a problem with a single mesh in the scene as you can see it's spread across several.  Unfortunately, I won't be able to clone these out either.
