Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 23 8:11 am)
Yes and no. Whichever Runtime is current in your P4 folder will be the one it sees. You could drag it over and drop it into PP before you start it up. Your alternative is to get PBoost and set up banks within the Libraries folder. These can be switched in and out as you work, provided nothing is incorrectly referenced. You'll need Correct Reference to sort that out. It's not quite the same as switching Runtimes but it achieves more or less the same thing. Heaven knows why you'd want to do this, since you have the P4 renderer (spit) in P5 anyhow.

I can understand wanting to render in Max but is it necessary to move back to P4 if you're exporting stuff for render?

Well, I just figure:"Why spend more money on BodyStudio when I've already bought ProPack" Ya know what I mean? May as well get as much bang for my buck!

The poser4 propack came with a FREE plugin that enables max to open PZ3'S directly for rendering MAX WONT open PZ3's from poser5 , unless you $$$BUy $$$ an expensive plugin from "reiss studio"
Ah, now it becomes clear. Thanx for that, wolf359.

Yeah... $179US (Canuck here eh! So that would be like $78,000.00 Canadian Funds LOL!!) for BodyStudio!!! Having already owning ProPack I can't justify the cost of another plugin that does the same thing (hosting scene).

Well, impulsive fool that I be I reinstalled P4 and ProPack & UNINSTALLED P5!! I'm gonna spend the next few hours reinstalling EVERYTHING!! I figure it's worth it considering the quality of rendering in Max. Better raytracing and volumetric lighting and such. And in all honesty I kinda miss ProPack. It always performed exactly as I required with Max and after going to P5, I've rarely used Max at all!! I started with TrueSpace2 (then 3) and graduated to Max3 using TomWoofs Manga Babes in both, so when I saw Poser 4, it was way more what I was looking for! No more rigging models in Character Studio!! So I guess it's kind of a nostalgia thing... Or maybe that Seasonal Affective Disorder thing... LOL!!! Who knows!!??

Well, halfway through reinstalling... took a break to try out a scene in Max...
Nothing fancy, V3 Amazing Grace, a building prop from the max freestuff and raytraced shadows...
This is why I wanted to go back to the ProPack. (and Max)
Later!

Hi, Well after a few years of enjoying P5 (bugs 'n all) I'm feeling a little old school and want to get jiggy with Pro Pack and Max 3.1 (I know it's an obsolete Max but it's all I have... and I like it!) After reaquainting myself with the P4 renderer in P5 lately, I kinda want to do some rendering in Max... My problem... after all these years of P5ing... I have 7.35gb of stuff in my P5 Runtime folder... I have everything backed up on disks but I really find the idea of reinstalling EVERYTHING in the P4 folders extremely daunting. I know in P5 you can add Runtimes, that's what I did way back when before removing P4 after getting into P5. Is there any way to do the same in reverse in P4/ProPack? He'p me... He'p me please..... Best regards, Take care, G
