Poser Technical F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 02 8:21 pm)
Welcome to the Poser Technical Forum.
Where computer nerds can Pull out their slide rules and not get laughed at. Pocket protectors are not required. ;-)
This is the place you come to ask questions and share new ideas about using the internal file structure of Poser to push the program past it's normal limits.
New users are encouraged to read the FAQ sections here and on the Poser forum before asking questions.

Subject: Probably 1000th time asked - installing poser props?
Hope this helps.
I wish that I COULD provide you with a basic set of instructions on how to install EVERYTHING in Poser 5. That would be wonderful.
Unfortunately, there is NOT a simple 1,2,3 answer to your question.
Frankly, Poser 5 tends to be unforgiving -- it is not a "plug 'n play" type of software. Poser 5 is very detailed, and the program requires detailed understanding to master.
It is like asking if there is a simple, easy way to master calculus. While this is not an entirely apt analogy (because Poser and calculus aren't really comparable); the analogy still applies, I think.
There is no ONE way to install every prop, figure, light set, etc.. Each item must be installed in a way that specifically addresses that individual item. Rarely will you find any two installations that are exactly alike.
Most freestuff items come with a "readme.txt" file included in the .zip. The "readme" file will usually provide instructions on how to install the prop/figure/whatever. The readme file is a helpful addition provided by freestuff creators.
Also, some freestuff items are provided as .exe files, which will self-install.
Keep these things in mind:
.pp2 files belong in the Runtimelibrariesprops folders
.cr2 files belong in the Runtimelibrariesfigures folders
.fc2 files belong in the Runtimelibrariesface folders
.obj files belong in the RuntimeGeometries folders
Once again, I hope that this helps. But, when it comes to Poser 5, "simple" isn't possible.
Thank you very much,xenophonz - yes, I didn't think it would be easy but didn't know it would be that hard either, lol. I did successfully install a couple of things yesterday, it was very exciting...sad I know but hey, it was an achievement, lol - thank you again. Replying from work but itching to get home and work in Poser (and Bryce) some more. :o)

It's for Poser 4, but this tutorial should help you out a bit. :-)

HOW??! I've searched the net, read around, and STILL can't find any simple instructions on installing props, clothes...heck, anything!...into where they belong. I see such wonderful things in the free section, I have some downloaded and saved - have even ventured to try to figure it out myself but no go. So if anyone can tell me a straight 1,2,3 way to get these things into their correct folders after you unzip them, it would be very much appreciated. Btw, I'm using Poser 5...thank you again.
