Description Ok, not an original name, but I really couldn't think of anything.

My first render using Poser 8. Not sure what to think of it. I had a hard time with this one since the render engine crashed numerous times. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the view and for any comments!

I think it came out very nice, I like how the materials look with this lighting. In my case I cannot render in Poser 8 with FFRender in a separate process, because everything goes slow motion and take forever. In some cases FFRender will even just quit in the middle...

I'm glad you like it.

Hopefully there will be future bug fixes

I keep reporting all P8 bugs I find, where some a quite blatant. Smith Micro tech support has been *very* responsive, unlike how it used to be in the past, but still, their tech support often wants to get away with acknowledging bugs by claiming "we cannot reproduce this here" - and then dismiss it like it had never happened... O_O

One of the most blatant Poser8 bug (even after SR-2) is the content browser drop down menu, where contents get cropped at the bottom of they don't fit on screen, and the list will not scroll. So everything that is below that cannot be accessed using the drop down menu. There is also a lot of useful functionality that has been removed from Poser 7 to 8, like windows that cannot be resized (prop parent selection, etc) and deleting shader nodes with the keyboard "del" key (now only with mouse menus).

I can attest that using the Jungle Ruins from Stonemason causes many crashes in P8. I don't crash in any other file except that one.

I am glad to see that you persevered and got something out because it looks great.

Thanks for the info. that's interesting to hear about the Jungle Ruins. I'll keep at Poser 8 and see if it works better with other products.

Love the action and lighting in this!

Not sure if you've gotten the latest updates, but if not, that might help with the crashes. It helped me with some of the library issues I was having.

I'm glad you like it.

I've installed SR2 so I should be good. Just doesn't seem to like the higher resolution renders....

The result is quite impressive... worth crashing a few times.
