Subject: Focus Distance Guide,...Jerky in Poser 8?

Hi! :)

I've started using the focus distance guide in Poser 8 and found it to be extremely "skiddish".  That is to say, when I adjust the focus distance, the guide doesn't update until after I've released the mouse button on the dial - this occurs with both sreed and opengl.

The guide adjustment used to be smooth and realtime feedback was fine as I turned the focus distance dial in Poser 7, now it's really horrible.  I mean, really horrible.

I've found this is due to the complexity of the scene - If I have Kelvin G2 loaded with full textures, the focus distance adjustment is horrible, but if I have a scene with just a simple primitive, then the adjustment is smooth.

Is this issue due to my old graphics card (ATI Radeon X1600)?  I'm running Vista64 with a quadcore intel with 8gb of ram.  Would the problem go away if I upgraded to a more powerful graphics card?

Thanks everyone.

It's more than bugged here, too.
But it works well in the Poser Pro 2010 beta,  so I guess it'll be fixed in the next Poser 8 SR. But you should report it anyway.
