How people improvise is perhaps my theme here. I have been evolving a theory that Core2(tm) and QuadCore(tm) chips have more amplification but not as good of signal to noise ratio as the last of the hot ones of four years ago. This then leads to some sort of defense of the move that goes something like hot chassis ground vs. DC ground. The noise floor is raised but it is clamped to the ground to minimize noise through a huge coupling capacitor. If all that was tue then you would be seeing the same picture as yesterday but done in Poser 5 with the appropriate figure substitiuted in the model of yesterday. It didn't work in 6 and it didn't work in 5 though the previews were good and the background quickly appeared in the render. So in defense of the move to refined microcode today I have gotten one of my older props to work with Sydney and changed the background. This was a piece of cake for this machine. "All My sorrows soon be over..." Look at it this way. My mobile has Core2Duo (tm) and an LCD screen and when hooked to my father's Saginaw connection (which never happened this year) we are on DSL and so a ultrasonic noise model is dominating and challenging solid state transistors. But here with this older 2.9Ghz rig and a CRT on a cable connection we have microwave noise and are challenging vacuum tube technology, to whit, the display. I only have 2GB or real memory on this one and it saw 2.12Gb in virtual trying to do the Poser 6 and 1.92 for the Poser 5. Both of my machines are 32 bit OS. The extreme low profile of the front tire? The smallness of the inverted cartridge forks? Any other questions? Oh! What was the problem yesterday that reappeared to cause the look at older versions only back to five? In spite of having the render setting at Firefly RayTrace it just would not RayTrace and gave flattened reflective surfaces. I beat it for one render. No real luck there, though. Today's image shows no more than one more winner in this duel of consciousness.
