I'm seeing an odd artifact where half of the object renders nicely, but the opposite half looks blurry.  The objects in question are part of a large figure and have a circular or oval shape.  The original textures are clean for both halves of the object.  I first noticed this in Poser 7 at good Firefly render settings, but it shows up in Poser 9 as well even at the final render setting.  I don't remember seeing anything like this before.  The attached examples illustrate the problem for two of the objects.

Any thoughts on where I should look to fix this?  Thanks.

Looks like I solved this with a little more trial and error.  The artifacts disappear when the render options are set to "smooth polygons".

There does appear to be an unfortunate consequence, however.  There is an object that has two planes that are close together.  They were rendering correctly but with smoothing set, the back one renders in front.  I'm working on that now.  In the future I won't use two planes like this.
