Subject: is 93GB runtime too much?;)
All of that is in one Runtime? How do you ever find anything?

Wow! Loading Poser must take you hours!
I strongly suggest that you look into multiple runtimes.

others see us. Try as we may, we are never

sheepish
I have got close to that amount of GB spread out over several ( hundred ??) runtimes !
As far as managing add-on content is concerned, I've tried to keep all my Mat Pzs and textures-only type runtimes away from others with Geometries inside. The JPG textures tend to take up the most space.
Nope, don't see my runtimes shrinking in size in the near future, either....

Now I don't feel bad:m_hide:
At least with combination of 12 runtimes I am still under 75Gigs. Before you ask how I find things I use a catalog program for my files.

Maybe it's cross talk?
Try starting a brand new scene that has absolutely nothing at all in it.
Then add A4
Then inject the Keisha morph.

Duh! Forget that last post! I got confused by my browser tabs and posted in the wrong thread! LOL

Quote - Beat this: 388 GB in multiple runtimes on an external drive. 24 GB Poser 6 on main drive with 10 GB Poser 7 on main drive for a grand total of 422 GB. And that's not ALL my Poser content. I think I need help, LOL!
I think we'll have to come up with a term for Poser addiction, we'll call it the 'drifterlee' effect, LOL!
Oh boy, that is some serious content you have there. I daren't even ask how much you've spent over the years. I don't think you can be helped apart from tying you to a tree so you can't get at your computer!

Thanks for sharing this, I don't feel bad at all for having about 70GB in runtimes.
On the other hand, I haven't installed about 20Gb yet either...
Wow, now I don't feel so bad at 57GB, single runtime. All purchased, just a handful of freebies, not counting saved scene files.
No performance penalty at all for my single runtime - then again, I don't use library or collection manager in Poser (or DAZ Studio) at all. Use my own content manger to scene feed. Just point Poser 6, 7, Pro, DS to the single and done. Startup time for all Posers and DS is ultra fast (their library pointers aren't set on the content) just timed it, 12 seconds for Poser 7.
Not to get too much OT, but nyguy, what kind of manager do you use? I had to write a custom library manager in C++, but it finds anything in approx 1 second, including search results returning 70,000+ items.
So, 422GB.. The record! (so far) That is so cool!!! Do I hear 1/2 a tera.. anyone?
Heh - I started splitting mine off back when it hit 48GB. Now each major figure has its own (A3 still has some stuff in the old Runtime as well as her own, but I'm too lazy to extract and sort it yet).
Personally, I can't wait to see either proggie ported to Linux, just for the purpose of tying the runtime to a Berkeley DB, PostgreSQL, or MySQL for the penultimate instant library management. ;)
/P
Penguinisto.. exactly! That's what I had to do to search my runtime - tied it to a backend database (but on Winblows). I am surprised that no vendor does that in their main product unless your talking team versions - which is more focused on versioning, accounting, legal, project and workflow rather than the precursor: finding stuff.
Database is the key. Can't develop Artificial Intelligece directives to your assets without it and that is where the future of 3D lies IMHO. I'm just befuddled why companies haven't broke much ground there.
I have mine heavily organized into folders with some characters having their own runtimes, but I do clean out unused items frequently.
I have a box of nothing but 3D backup Cds it's frightening since most of the CDs the past 4-5 years are not of Free items, well gifts but not freebie offerings.
I startup Poser about 7am in the morning and head off for my coffee while everything loads up, most times I don't close the program until 10 pm, though if it lags a lot I'll shut down and restart it.

intended us to forgo their use.

102 Gigs but that's just poser external runtimes. I'm afraid to look at all my Bryce, 3DS, OBJ, LWO, Carrara and miriads of other 3D format content!
