Whenever you render, Poser creates a temp file in the Poser root directory which is deleted when the render is closed. Anybody know what's in these (they're binary) and is there anyway to save and use them for anything? Is it just the rendered image itself or does it contain some scene info?

Perhaps it's where they temporarily store the shadow maps to use in the final render? Not sure on this one.

shadow and effects maps... that's about it... nohthing of value for use within the programme itself. basically just a lot of raw data... when Poser crashes inthe midst of a render these temp files get left behind.. and take up room.. I opened one up in wordpad to see what was there.. heh looked just like a hex dump 8 ) Cheers

Where are these temp files stored? Poser has crashed out on me a few times and I'd like to get rid of the refuse.
