Render time double 15minute render now takes 30 minutes . The texture paths don't work i now upon loading a scene must search for every texture map

Not sure what version you used previously or the render engine selected, but there is no built-in slow-down in this version. Most likely a configuration issue with prior Runtimes. Support staff can probably help if you create a ticket at https://support.posersoftware.com.

i used the previous released poser 12.0.484.0

Assuming Windows:

• you might try the "Backup & Replace Existing Preferences" option in the installer to make sure you have factory settings.

I ran the update and was pleasantly surprised to see the Loading Kernal flashing reload/restart strangeness that appeared upon first render of the session seem gone. I have no issues with Poser losing path info for textures upon rendering or recent scene rendering. Happy the constant refresh or whatever that flashing initialization issue was is gone for me. Rendering time has not increased nor decreased on pz3s produced with P11 with the exception of a speed up due to the kernal loading issues, on this machine; seem fixed.

Hey Tim, have you guys ever thought about putting together a Benchmark scene that people could run in Poser to test the run time for rendering a scene? I don't care if you put it together yourself and give it away for people to test, or at the very least make a suggestion of what should be in the scene and have users put it together.

Raven put out a scene a couple years back for P11 that people use. Look in Free Stuff for the scene and the forum for the results people were/are getting.

I totally forgot about that Benchmark scene, but recognized it as soon as I saw it. Don't recall if I downloaded it for use with P11 on my old laptop, but did just now for testing with P12. Thanks for the reminder.

My guess is that for whatever reason that runtime is no longer part of your library. If you reset any options during the upgrade you might need to add that library again. Not having it in your library would result in it not automatically finding any of the files there. I don't know whether that would also contribute to slower rendering or if that's something else.

ok here's what i found out, scenes saved from last poser 12.0.484.0 and the one before that loud ok but before that not quite ,during that ice storm in February lost my E drive and My C drive the new E drive must have something just different enough that it send me searching. The speed issue was solved by simply restarting my computer.
