I would second the idea of saving before rendering and add this: Before rendering, exit poser6 Make a copy of the pz3 and rename it. Go back in. Render. In other words...increments. That way if you can NOT recover your current pz3, and it is corrupted, you just go back a little way to the prior increment, make a copy of it, rename and go back in. This is hard hat territory until the problem is fixed. ::::: Opera :::::
