Well, I spent about two hours on the phone today with Curious Labs regarding my rendering issues and Poser and the Firefly Engine hanging up whenever I had more than one figure in the scene, and this is what they said. Apparently, all of these HUGE textures we are using are relatively useless in the normal scenes most of us are making. They said unless we have an extreme closeup of a figure, we should set our 'Maximum Texture Resolution' setting from 4096 to about 1024. This TOTALLY fixed my problem, and the picture actually rendered my textures more true to life this way surprisingly. I have roughly 40mb worth of textures, in just this image alone. Which is insane overkill from what I understand. Now, about the picture!! Those of you that saw the first post of this(its still in my gallery) will recall that I had to render each figure separately, M3, V3, and Cyclorama each in their own picture, then composite them and use massive postwork to get it to look 'right'. I was only partially successful =/. In this picture I still chose to use layers, 9 total, but I used 3 layers of the main image(M3, V3, and Cyclorama rendered all at once) to acheive a balance and uniform luminosity that I wasn't able to before. Please let me know what you think of the overall effect! ~~~~~~~~~~ V3 - Daz(custom texture by me) Fetish Pack II - Lory =) Robin Hair - MayaX Megablade 1.0 - kodesign(custom retexture by me) Calias: M3 - Daz Texture(Russel) - nouschka(customized by me) M3 Rogue Archer(armor) - Gorodin(slight retexture) Shadowplate(swords) - Ravnheart & Toxicangel M3 Morphing Boots and Cloak - Daz Background: Cyclorama - Daz
