Re: Rendering Shadow Map... Hang2
-----------------------------------
:cool:   While the image is fine that long render time seems absurd. :sad: 
As an experiment I'd like for you to make a simular scene save the .p3
and send me to .p3   to time how long it takes to render.

Something with reflections  and matts  still, I'd guesstomate  I could render
this in Poser 5, firefly engine ray-trace shadows 
and we're taking ten minuites to render....

Another creepy thing about Poser
Say you're in th Material room, but want to render to see that material change...

Okay, in there  left to it's own devices, Poser can actually hang and stop.
the blue progress line grinds to a halt.  Okay, in that case  -FOR SURE
you can restart the progress by clinking the mouse on the white BORDER
of the rendering Progress  window...  in the POSE room you can often visibally
SPEED UP THE RENDER  by clicking on that border, but know that once the
MAC Color "spinning -wheel" appears, you won't do any good clicking
until that stupid wheel disapears.

I don't know how it works on PCs but on a Mac you want to render
with ONLY Poser running, and mouse clinking that think white border
makes Poser speed up  -a lot.

My Mac is ten years old.  My Daughter's   -runs three times faster.
On hers I've rendered  1024 x 768  full screen   Monitor Background images
and was amazed by how faster it rendered.
