I'm wondering what is the best way to harness this power.....and if wondering if other P5 users that have successfully utilized this facility could share about ways they achieved this. Well, how you organise your runtimes depends on how you work. Everyone thinks in different ways - find a method of organisation that will be efficient for you. I have nothing but the base human figures (including the Daz people) in my Poser 5 runtime. Everything else is in separate runtimes. Mine are organised by theme - Fantasy, SF, Historical, & Modern, with a few additional runtimes for things I use less frequently like animals and wyrmmaster's figures. That's what works for me. I load the base figure I want, then switch runtimes and usually don't need to switch again until I start a new image. A couple of things I use frequently I've installed in more than one runtime - easily changed if I run out of space. I can offer one tip: keep as little as possible in the main runtime. Poser loads faster that way. I've deleted most of the native P5 stuff, including the figures. I know the walk designer requires the P5 figures, but I never use it, so they're no loss. I love Poser 5. I'm still learning just how powerful this software can be.
