If you have a small shop and everything is appropriately licensed, you should be able to set up mirror images of the Poser runtime folder on each machine. With identical runtimes, a PZ3 should open up identically on each machine.

A few ways to handle this:

• "Sneakernet" where you set up one runtime exactly as you want it, put it on a disk and manually copy it to each Poser workstation. You could use a CD/DVD or better still an external hard drive or thumb drive.

• Better than this is the option to do this over a network. With external runtimes, you should be able to have one "master" runtime on a shared network drive, and have all copies of poser refer to it by the same drive letter. Don't know how this would affect performance though. It would depend on the speed of your network and the speed of the server that was hosting the shared runtime.

• Another option is to use mirroring software to automatically synchronize changes between runtimes across the network. Each workstation would share its runtime with all the others, and mirroring software running on each machine would be set to push local runtime changes out to all other workstations. MirrorFolder (which I recommend highly f or this sort of thing) could easily handle a setup like this.
