My niece has a couple of horses so I am left wondering whether he is in a suit because it is in space or the horse box smells like my neice's car

Well ... the trailer does have more space ...

Well I think this shows how inspiring places like this can be when people help rather than start flame wars. Having purchased Poser 11 a few weeks ago I was reaching the point where I was really giving up on the upgrade, Superfly renders took and age, and the results for me were poor, and then I started having a problem with the library. Reaching out to Hivewire community in different threads here many came up with suggestions and ideas to improve matters and I soon a reached the point I was a lot happier. I can now use scripts for the library that I thought were lost to me in Poser 11, I learnt how to make the Poser library a little more stable and shorten SF render times to something more acceptable. Having seen what Glitterati3D could achieve with Adrianne using Superfly and my new found ease in using Poser 11 I decided to have another go with my Character and this is the result.
It may not be perfect, I need to dial back the skin tones a fraction for one, but I know now my character can work with the SF engine, something that seemed unlikely only a few days ago. Not only that but I have had a great deal of fun and learnt a great so much, which as to be better than spending time fighting phoney flame wars.
Render time was around 2 hours but then there are five lights in the scene and the size was 2000 x 1384 pixels which is a compromise I am very happy with.
Thank you so much for all of you, particularly those that helped me reach this point I really cannot express how grateful I am.

She looks lovely, Hornet!
And, you make a wonderful point about helping and how much more effective it is bringing someone along with the software we have so much fun with.

I don't know your render settings but 2 hours considering hair is actually pretty good.

Yes I am more then happy with it as most of my Firefly renders were in the same ballpark and you have to keep in mind I am running this in CPU mode as my GPU is not supported which, like the rest of my system, is getting a little long in the tooth. Depends on the hair of course, the one I used on Adrianne takes longer but I like the results and the different is not great. The biggest factor though is the advice I got from Kobaltween here in another thread and that was to untick Branch Path Tracing which is selected by default. From the few tests I have done you can multiply the time by at least a factor of five without decreasing the noise to any major degree if you leave BPT selected. By removing the BPT and running the render with progressive refinement you can increase the samples and just abort the render at the point you are happy, I used to do much the same with Luxrender. In this case the samples were set at 35, and the rest of the settings were default and the render was left to run the full course. I could of course set the samples even higher but I think it is then a case of diminishing returns in quality for the extra time. This is a nice balance for me with a quality I find acceptable for a period of time I am prepared to wait but I also have the option of running longer for a special render.

You know in DC's Legends of tomorrow, they do an Arrow cross over where Ollie is much older and missing an arm...? Stephen Amell was actually sporting a goatee for that role. We both know what happened to that arm.

Well, that didn't take you too long Rokket.
This is a body suit that I made for Pauline when I first got Poser Pro 11. I had no real use for it until now. I added the material zones and UV mapped it.
Yes! In Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns, a one-armed Ollie shot the Man of Steel with a Kryptonite arrow made by Batman... it was payback for ripping off the arm. Superman was working for Uncle Sugar and was helping to round up the superheroes who were holding out on the registration act. He tore off Ollie's arm because it was the only way he could see to stop him from being Green Arrow.I secretly wanted Green Lantern so I said Green Arrow. Works every time!
I do believe from my research that Superman is responsible for having ripper his arm off. Yowch! Try to get payback on something like that.
