Runtime library that is. :-) Mine is 6.27GB...sad isn't it?

My idea of rebooting is kicking somebody in the butt twice!

oh..I'm upwards of a megabyte now..;) but then half the stuff I've set up belongs to 'the shruggin' man'..saru's just 2 eyeballs..if it weren't for Sixus..it'd be even less..gotta still figure what goes where..;)

Mine is 42 gig. Yes, gig. That doesn't include my own work files for clothing and objects that I keep. That's another 4 or 5 gig. And it doesn't include all those texture files I use but aren't part of my runtime, another 3 gig. The total is pushing 50 gig. So I'm a junkie. I never delete anything. I don't even know what half of the stuff is. Thank the goddess for big hard drives. But I'm keeping it ALL. MWHAAAAHHAAAAAHHAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! (please note: multiple exclamation points are the sign of a diseased mind)

Pdxjims that is one huge runtime or runtimeslol Mine is really puny only a 2.3 GB it used to be way bigger but I try to be selective of what I install now.


sirkrite ( ) posted Tue, 04 May 2004 at 8:22 PM

P4 or P5? ;D P4 = 5.73 GB P5 = 2.11 GB


rockets ( ) posted Tue, 04 May 2004 at 8:24 PM

Gee Pdxjims, I thought I was bad! You must have one HUGE hard drive! LOL

pdxjims ( ) posted Tue, 04 May 2004 at 8:31 PM

OK, so I admit it. I've got a 120 gig and a 160 gig drive. Poser is on the 120, work files and uh, other things are on the 160. I am planning on pruning my runtime though. I got a DVD R/W not long ago, and I'm going to back a lot of old stuff onto it. And I didn't count my P4 installation... Geeze, it's probably 10 to 12 gig.


Lyrra ( ) posted Tue, 04 May 2004 at 8:32 PM

p4 - 21.5 gigs p5 - 2.03 gigs Not counting my Images folder, Characters in Progress folder, and Working Products folder which add another 10 gigs or so ..not counting the PoserWorldProduct folder which is at 2.5 gigs right now .... just wrapped up another huge product there and will burn it off to CD tonight. I have a 120 gig HD devoted to graphics. Games? who has time to play games? Lyrra



sekhet ( ) posted Tue, 04 May 2004 at 8:46 PM

Glad I1m not the only one.I have 11 gigs and 15,767 files

P4 - 20.1 gb P5 - 810 mb I haven't installed everything i have in the runtimes. 120 gig HD, 70 gig partition for poser JV

OMG you people are insane! LOL! My Runtime is 3.75 GB and I think that is way too large! I'm constantly pruning stuff out of it too because you have to come to a point where it's impossible to know what resources you have available and it's just wasting disk space.

Admittedly it's easier to maintain such a small Runtime when all you do are pinup renders and nudes:

V3 - check
Lingerie - check
Props for ambiance - check

Good to go! :)


Kuladen ( ) posted Tue, 04 May 2004 at 9:36 PM

Only 14.4 GB for my runtime


mondoxjake ( ) posted Tue, 04 May 2004 at 9:36 PM

My current harddrive is only 15GB total...and that is all I'm saying!!


Barbarellany ( ) posted Tue, 04 May 2004 at 11:00 PM

7.96 gb with 36,220 items. Hmm... I wonder how big it was before my crash. I didn't put everything back.


Firebirdz ( ) posted Tue, 04 May 2004 at 11:12 PM

Are you folks counting the size of the pz3 files that are created everytime you make a new file ? or just the raw runtime.


JVRenderer ( ) posted Tue, 04 May 2004 at 11:19 PM

Nope, the pz3 files are burnt on cd's ( i got 33 of them)

igohigh ( ) posted Tue, 04 May 2004 at 11:38 PM

OK, now how many of you are padding your Runtime with BUM files? They don't count you know. I once found 20+Gig of them buggers on my HD so I now only make them when I need them then throw them out. Got a 26.7Giger here (with No BUM nor PZ3s included)


SophiaDeer ( ) posted Wed, 05 May 2004 at 12:10 AM

24.8 GB here.

I am going to be getting a bigger HD soon.

I also need to weed out a lot of things as I have much stuff for Victoria 2 that I do not use so much anymore.

17.5gb... must admit I got a bit scared when I clicked Properties and the hourglass just started spinning... thought it was going to be even bigger! I really have to sort my runtimes out. There's loads of stuff there that I've used only once or not at all. There's too much yummy freestuff out there!

Unreal, I have a 518MB runtime.


elgyfu ( ) posted Wed, 05 May 2004 at 1:53 AM

16.6 gb. That was a shock to me! And it is all one runtime. I copied all my old runtime into Poser 5's when I got it as it sped it all up so much.


Skidlicious ( ) posted Wed, 05 May 2004 at 3:30 AM

You guys are nuts. =O) I was just wondering if Poser has any professional applications? I've hear that police forensics like using it for crime scene reproduction, and I have scene it used in some advertisments but are there any other real world uses for it? Or is it just a form of entertainment for people like us. Oh yeah... 2.3GB Poser5 only... but isn't it how you use it? The Ever Viscious Skidlicious

Here's my nominee for the *smallest* working runtime (& I'm not talking about an "extra" used to zip up freebies/products :-) Since all I use Poser 4 these days is to test my freebies, I use a stripped down runtime with all the defaults removed except for a few textures, Posette & Dork, & whatever my current project is.


FishNose ( ) posted Wed, 05 May 2004 at 4:34 AM

file_108158.jpg

Okay so pdxjims beats me on size - but file count? No, never! If you're a junkie, you're a junkie. No PZ3's, no zips - only pure Runtime. Poser with all its stuff occupies about 210 GB on my harddisks (total capacity on 5 disks is over 900 GB). Plus all the backups on DVD of course. :] Fish


12rounds ( ) posted Wed, 05 May 2004 at 5:46 AM

Hmmm... just crossed the 10gig barrier, but then again I've now in a habit of storing props outside Poser runtime. Filecount in runtime 40700+ ... uuh... I think I'm gonna go insane when the time comes to do a defragmenting of the partition ...

P4 21,9 GB, heavy cleaning ahead rest of the week. ;(

Dale B ( ) posted Wed, 05 May 2004 at 7:22 AM

25.4gigs in the external runtimes (which mirrors the old P4 runtime with new runtimes to keep some things seperated and easier to find). No scene files, no modded textures (-that- would add another 8 gig or so), and the only bum files are those that came with P4; the rest were converted over time to jpeg. Years and years of years and years.....


Daio ( ) posted Wed, 05 May 2004 at 7:31 AM

47.84 gigs. I need to go through and archive the stuff I'm not using. :)

okay this is just my runtime but a lot of poses that I don't use as much are stored in a different folder. Thanks for this thread...seeing how big everyone elses is makes me feel better...now I don't feel like such a junkie... :)

Except for the primatives and geometries for the lights and camera,all original Poser content was deleted. I'm very selective and "picky". SWAMP

P4- 7.46 Gb P5- 1.57 Gb I create all my figures in P4, which would be half that if I ever get around to making injects and mats. I use P5 for the renderings and setup room, well all the rooms. Most of my poser stuff is on disk, don't want to think how much is sitting there.


kayjay97 ( ) posted Wed, 05 May 2004 at 8:52 AM

41.8g here. I really need to prune it.

gee. Mines only floating around 5GB right now. Oh, wait, forgot that runtime and that one and that one. And, oh yeah, that one. um, well, I've got a lot of stuff. Dunno how much, and I'm too damn tired to think about it.

I have 23.4g, but a lot of it is stuff that I don't use anymore. What's the best way to get rid of it?

Robo2010 ( ) posted Wed, 05 May 2004 at 9:39 AM

Mine is at 1.26, and I thought that was way to much and can get confusing, that I have deleted some files (Obj files, stuff in libraries, and also including with the texture folders) that I do not need. Now I have seen big time Runtime folders in here (Amazing). Wondering how in the world can they keep track of everything in Poser?. Now, just imagine when everyone here and even myself, need to reinstall everything...hehe..that is the painfull part.


SpottedKitty ( ) posted Wed, 05 May 2004 at 1:22 PM

Oog. I know exactly how big my runtime is, last week I had to move Poser from my 10GB D: drive to my 40GB C: drive -- the free space kept falling below 500MB, and I was running out of other odds and ends to shift off my two year old never-fill-that-in-a-million-years 10GB drive... I also know now how just long it takes to copy 7.5GB from one drive to another. Never mind my 2GB archive of .pz3 files, that was already on the C: drive.

P5 only. Nothing in Runtime that should be elsewhere.

Some of you appear to be using Disk Compression and some not.

For those that are not, why not?

For those that are, ever have any difficulties?

(Posted as a separate question linked above, but this thread is what started me wondering).
