You also have to set up your shadow maps correctly, which, admittedly, is a p.i.t.a. But if you don't get those right, you will have bad shadows anyway, so you better learn how to do it. Back when I used P4, I set the map sizes as high as Poser could handle. Not the best solution, but it worked.

shante: I think calling a bad idea a bad idea is a better service and more respectful to newbies than giving them what they asked for without comment. If we bash anyone here, it's not the beginners, but those people who've been around long enough to know better.

Actually like I explained to Fisty I work really herd getting those shadows right...as an old photographer shadows were really important to me and I work twice as hard trying to get them to look right in that stupid application! We all know it would bw TONS easier in any newer version of Poser. As you know it is not easy in P4 the light simulations and preview suck and the render engine sucks worse but.....when you are crippled or retarded you must learn to suck it up and live with it!  :)

It is because I am so limited that when i read this kind of thread I always ask if it will work in P4 without making any more of my short hairs fall out! I certainly don't expect that kind of support but I gotta ask.....don't I!?  :)

Thanks for taking the time to answer this friend. I appreciate an intelligent explanation and reason for something being done or said when worded the right way. I can appreciate some responses if put in the correct context but it felt reading some of the answers to the original question that sarcasm was applied a bit thick. Sometimes that sarcasm keeps some people from participating and that isn't what some of these forums and thread should be about....I think.

But then what the heck do i know I am antiquated P4 user driving a model-t and rendering in P4 with UV'd nostrils!  LOL
