Well, you bring up an interesting point because I had never thought of using
more than one Poser file for a single image. But, its good to keep in mind
if I ever get that much going in a Poser scene. I also heard that lowering
the max undos in Poser 7 can help. I think the default is 100, which is a
lot!!
And thanks for starting a thread on PoseRay. I think it's a great program
and I can learn a few things here, like scaling the bump mapping.
