As far as organization goes, A picture to show you the file structure of a Poser Runtime can be found here: http://www.daz3d.com/support/faq/index.php?id=94 Basically, what it boils down to in a nutshell: If you are looking for a Character or a piece of clothing/shoes, in Poser you will find them in libraries/character If you are looking for hair, you will find them in either library/character/hair OR library/hair If you are looking for character texture addons, hair textures, clothing textures, you will find them in library/poses. Sometimes on the rare occasion, a merchant will package their textures so that they go into the "Camera" folder (.cm2 files). If that is the case then you can either apply them from there, or do what I do and change the file extension to .pz2 If you are looking for props, they are located in library/props Sometimes you will find clothing and hair or shoes in library/props too, depending on whether the item is actually created and saved as a figure, or it was created and saved as a prop. A note if you have Poser 6: In Poser 6, you will sometimes find conforming clothes in the Props folder. Conforming hair in the normal Hair folder, together with "regular" hair and dynamic hair. Why they did that I don't know. But if you are working in Poser and working with content made especially with Poser 6 in mind if you don't find what you are looking for as listed above, you can check these alternative places. Figure items are "conformed" or "parented" Props are parented. If you are just starting, it's best to get started on the right foot. DO NOT just install files into the main runtime! That will only lead to frustration because you won't be able to find anything, and not all files are packaged equally and land up all over the place. Here is a link to a tutorial on using multiple runtimes. http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=9060&start=0 This thread talks about multiple runtimes too. I have a post in there about how I organize my folders. Look for "Acadia" if you want to check it out. http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=2303505 When I first started Poser, I installed everything into the main Poser 5 runtime and I couldn't find anything. I was so frustrated and gave up on Poser every other week..literally.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
