You know you have to love something to get so frustrated with it but stick with it at the same time. So I spent the entire week creating a group of poser characters. I then saved each character into my character library so that I could bring them into the same scene, (dont know any other way to do this). I can get 3 sometimes 4 of the characters into the scene at the same time and then the next character comes in with no arms, or no head, the rest of them is there but body parts are missing. I have 8 characters I would like to bring into the scene and background props as well. Am I dealing with a memory issue here, or a limitation in poser? And does anyone have suggestions on how to correct this? Thanks gand for all the help.

It might be a memory issue.. more ram?

Probably memory - Poser can only use 128Mb anyway, and if that's all you have, you actually have less - your graphics card and OS will be using some of that. Try closing Poser and restarting the computer before you open it again, to clear out all the materials info etc. and get back as much memory as possible. Sometimes that works for me - I have missing hips all the time, but they can come back when I do this. Also make sure you empty the Recycle bin and delete temp files really often :) I wondered if this was a crosstalk problem, but it still happens when using a null figure so maybe not. Otherwise, you could save out some or all of the figs as obj once they are posed, then bring them back in.
