Since there have been a lot of topics on this forum concerning Runtime organization and setting up external Runtimes, we decided it would be worthwhile to create a step-by-step tutorial on the subject.

You can check it out at the Posermocap.com site.

We're looking at reproducing the tutorial on the Renderosity site as well.

Hope that you enjoy this and find it useful.

Hi; I just read through it and it's great! I had to ask here in the forums for help on mine and had some really helpful replies. So I know others like me needing to organize the runtime will appreciate this very much. Thanks a big bunch. :)

I, myself, have several external runtimes sitting on my hard drive which actually make my access easier and more controlled.  It is figuring out a logical method of organizing your files without wading through one enormous runtime file.  But there is a disadvantage of too many runtimes.  I tend to break up my projects into individual runtimes; load what is necessary for the scene, compose and render.  Afterwards, the project is either burned to disk and removed from the hard drive or delete it completely if I feel I will never need it again.  This is a great Tutorial and many individuals will benefit to read it through before amassing an unmanageable runtime.  Been there, done that.

Thanks for the compliments BluEcho and hborre.

I have submitted this to the Tutorials section here on Renderosity, and it is pending approval by the Moderators. Hopefully, it will be up on Renderosity soon.
