I've been trying to use displacement maps on my character, but the render locks up...I though perhaps it just took a very long time, so I went to bed last night with the render at approx. 30%...the bar was near the fist dot following the word rendering on the bar.... Went to bed, figured I would see this great image when I checked...but the bar was about 2/3 and the entire system was locked up...had th CTRL-ALT-DEL to close Poser...ended upbooting the system as it was all sluggish. The above was in draft mode...I had tried production mode coupole of times, but it locked up during the attempt to render the first shadow... Could it be the settings I'm using for the displacement map? I'm not sure where to set the min/max dials, etc...how much displacement is needed to alter the figure? I know it depends on what you're trying to do, but perhaps there is a limit on what is possible as fas as shifting the mesh.
