Hello, I am a new P6 user learning to work the program. A frustration is that external characters and files are not easy to install. Seems everything is dumped into a download file and then it is left to me to divide the various files types into other folders in the library. I bought many products from this site and am having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to use them. It is a daunting process to learn. The Poser manual and a new P6 book I bought offer little advice. Does anyone know of a tutorial that helps define and dissect the runtime hierarchy of files? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, seattletim

If you have Winzip or another program similar then unzipping content into P6 shouldn't be an issue. In fact P6 has a built in unzipping program with it. They usually unzip to the right folders. Hope that helps!

I came across the same issue. You have to read the README file to determine where stuff goes. I agree that add-on's for Poser are a PIA. It's not a simple process. Even the packages that claim to be "ultra real" are far from it without lots of seat-time experimenting. The lesson I learned with Poser 4 a few years ago (after dropping $500) is not to purchase too much too quick.

It really shouldn't be that difficult if you have a good unzipping utility. I use winzip because you can tick an option to unzip to the right folders, you can rearange them if you wish once they're in the right folders to begin with.
