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. 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 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 *********************************************************** Once you get your files installed, the next thing you want to do is to start making things :) Here are some great newbie tutorials that will get you through the bare basics: http://trekkiegrrrl.dk/tut1.htm http://www.poserguide.nimprodaction.com/issues/issue2/cover.htm http://www.poserguide.nimprodaction.com/issues/issue3/cover.htm http://www.poserguide.nimprodaction.com/ http://www.canary3d.com/tutorial/3d-intro.htm http://www.ebonshire.net/tut-posb/index.php http://www.cooltuna.com/poser/poser-tutorials.html http://www.renderosity.com/tut.ez?Form.ViewPages=155&Form.sess_id=52280005&Form.sess_key=1129030101 *********************************************************** Clothing and textures are all figure/item specific, which means: Michael 3.0 needs clothing and textures made for Michael 3.0 Victoria 3.0 needs and clothing and textures made for Victoria 3.0 Victoria 2.0 needs and clothing and textures made for Victoria 2.0 Aiko needs clothing and textures made for her. Like figures, a texture made for one hair style can only be used on that hair style. Clothing is also specific when it comes to textures. A texture for a pair of pants, won't fit all pants... just the pants that it was made to fit. Same with all clothing items. Hair can be used across figure. You need to turn the Scale and XYZ Scale dials to get it to fit. If it's not for the figure it was made for, you will have to "parent" the hair to the figure. Poses can also be used across figure. If the pose is for a different figure, you will sometimes have to tweak a joint, or the fingers. So don't dispair if you only have faery poses for V3, but want to make a faery using Millennium Baby. Make sure that what you are downloading aren't just textures for clothing or hair, because unless you actually have the item the textures are meant for, you won't be able to do anything with them.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
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
