Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 23 7:38 pm)
Yeah, this discussion seems to come up every other month or so. Peng has had it running in Linux, but he used a special program (not WINE) to do it. As I recall, he could only use 128mb of ram, and it didn't run very well. The furthest I've ever gotten it in WINE was to the workspace, and it crashed as soon as I tried to do anything. Best bet is with D|S. ~DM
I can vouch for Poser on Fedora....very slow (it does work, though, thanks to win4Lin.) It works fine up until you start adding stuff to your libraries at which point, it slows down to a crawl (much worse than you'll ever see in regular windows). One day, there will be consumer software for linux, but in the meantime, OSX is about the only game in town....if I could splurge the cash, I'd be there in a minute! eric
Win4Lin is how I got it running. the slowdown is because you can only allocate 128MB to the whole shell, which Poser has to share with the Win98 "install". Dunno why you detest DAZ so much, but I'm still lobbying to get hold of the D|S source so I can try to get a (albeit unsupported by DAZ) version of D|S built for Linux (unless Taylor beats me to it.) /P

I have a dim memory of reading a post here from someone who said they'd got Poser running on a Linux system (unless I hallucinated it!) I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me if such a thing is actually possible, and if so, does Poser run 'properly' with no major limitations or glitches. I realised recently that Poser is the only product that's keeping me chained to Microsoft operating systems. I really can't do without Poser, but it would be nice to wave goodbye to Windows once and for all. Thanks! Morph
