Description
I redid this one from several days ago. It appears I exceeded the limits of Poser 9 with that
image. If you choose to review it, you will notice that the Cadillacs don't have a nice shine
to them. The shadows are off or non-existent. I tried rendering that particular one several
times with many different settings but could never get the ray tracing to work. So, in my
experiment with this image, I kept reducing the number of objects in the scene and also the
size of the image until I was able to get what you see here. If anyone has a solution to this
problem, I sure would love to hear it!
Lotsa characters. Rendered in Poser 9. Post work in Photoshop 7.
Thank you for taking a peek! Your support is greatly appreciated!

since I work with Daz, I really can't help you with this issue Great scene, though!
Fantastic scene, brilliant work! Sorry, I work now with DAZ or Poser 7.
I'm afraid my solution is not too practical Radders - PP2012 or 2014 should do the trick (IMHO). I agree with the sentiment too mate!
Wow outstanding scene! Superb work!
Unfortunately, I think this is the computer that limit what you want to do ... Maybe there should be more memory (I have 8 GB), and however I see that I have fewer problems (with Poser Pro 2012) than Danielle (with Poser 9) for "heavy" scenes with identical computers. Very nice scene and render!
Yes, some effects show up in a better way. But I cannot give you hints because I do not work with poser
I have the same problem than you, when the scene is too heavy, I lost the shadows on the ground and the Ray tracing ! I am obliged to make the render in several installments (I hope you understand what I write....) ! But your image is very well done, Bill !
Happy New Year to You my friend!!!Bravissimo as usual!:DDD.Hugsxx Whylma
nice scene
I stopped using Poser for this exact reason, I got tired of the diminishing quality.
excellent! When I used Poser 9 in situations like this one, in Firefly Render I used to reduce the Bucket Size to a minimum (i.e. 4), in "General Preferences" "Render" I unchecked the "Separate Treads" and put the Number of Treads to a minimum too (i.e. 2). It worked (most of times ;-D).
Great creation!
Cool scene. How much RAM do you have? I used to have rendering problems until I upgraded to 64 MB of RAM. Now, it renders everything but slowly, especially any pic where I used the snow machine.
Excellent scene - love what the lighting did with all the objects.
Fantastic scene and marvelous creation !!!
AMAZING WORK
Looks good... More RAM. you can never have too much RAM, too Fast of CPU or too many shoes.
Wish I could help you Rad, but I use DAZ Studio and don't know how those programs compare. I have 12 gig RAM and a Radeon 7450 card, but don't try the same things you do. This is a great render nonetheless.
Absolutely amazing place my friend, amazing characters and composition, congratulations!
Great scene Rad despite your render problems...Sounds like memory to me. I used Poser 9 with 4gig RAM and experienced similar problems in scenes with many characters. Flavia49's solution is worth following up as this may well be a fix. Since I moved up to 64bit and 16gig RAM memory is rarely a problem. I like many of the above comments now much prefer DazStudio. Maybe you should give it a try as it's free and most of your models you use will work in Daz, especially Michael as he comes from Daz.. It is a little different to Poser and may take time to learn but there are plenty of tutes on YouTube.
this is wonderful image you made
I haven't found the solution other than stripping the image of almost all its character to get the computer to agree to work. This is a great image even in its minimalist version.
