This is going to take a bit of explaining so bear with me! First my system; imac 400mhz with 320megs of RAM running OS9.1 About 200 megs assigned to Poser. I recently tried using the ultramorph man and every time I selected the head Poser3 crashed. My guess was that there were too many morphs in the head (about 95 I think) so I removed some, got the number down to about 75 and all was well. Just the other day I was looking at the specs of Vicky2 and she has well over 100 morphs in her head making her pretty much unusable to me, at least without a lot of fiddling removing and adding morphs as the need arises. Then it occurred to me that maybe there could have been a "bad morph" in the ultramorphman that was causing problems. Is this possible? I've read threads where people describe using Poser on older less powerful systems than mine so I would have thought mine could handle the morphs. I thought it was big texture maps or multiple models that usually caused problems. Sorry this has gone on so much, I know no one will be able to answer with any certainty and I'll have to experiment, I just wanted peolples gut feelings I suppose. Thanks in advance Baz

There is a limit of 99 morphs I believe in Poser 3. In Poser 4.03 this limit was removed. Also, you say you are looking at Vicky2. Although you could use her in Poser3, you would have problems with the eyebrows, eyelashes and eyes, as the eyes use an outer transparent sphere for highlights, and P3 doesn't do transparency. EnglishBob used V2 in P3 for a while.

I don't think it's your system: I'm running Poser 4.0.3 on an antiquated Bondi Blue iMac 233 G3 maxed out at 128 meg RAM. I have Ram doubler enabled and 160 meg allocated to Poser. Mike 2 and Vicky 2 work fine for me, though I've not got the Ultramorph Man, so couldn't say for him. Huge texture maps do crash Poser or more likely simply refuse to load. It's probably, as Raven says, a Poser 3 issue.

Thanks for the info, maybe I'll drop send a message to English Bob and see if he had to remove any morphs to use Vicki2 with Poser3 Baz
