is there a quick app that will search your ENTIRE runtime and delete any unused obj/bump maps/textures/etc?

it would take me 2 weeks to rebuild poser and i just don't have the time- so instead of starting over and making separate runtimes i've decided to optimize my single runtime the best i can.

You could look at correct reference pro from Hogsoft. I dont know if it has an option to locate orphans though.

Why do you keep suggesting CR or CRpro? You've posted this advice to one of my threads as well and I told you that the site was closed. Once and for all hogsoft.com is not around anymore. If you know where CRpro can be obtained elsewhere then link us to it. Until then please understand that this website is no longer available.

I am getting a site with cr pro and other software at www.hogsoft.com  If the site is down whoever owns it should wipe the pages . I havent tried buying anything from it but the site is still up !!!  This pic is a screenshot from TODAY !   Freestuff downloads from the site are still active .

Try the marketplace?

Hogsofts site is open over here, and as far as I know hasn't had any trouble in ages. He also sells CRPro here, in the Marketplace. GREAT program, BTW. Maybe you should check your browser settings instead of jumping all over someone trying to help?

CR Pro can do this, I think - but you need to be wary of deleting things which may be shared between more than one item. Some creators use things like generic maps, or body handle geometry, which can be called from several products.

Agreed.

But I too cannot seem to access the site as of late (for several weeks now). And I have not changed any of my browser settings, my ISP, or anything else.

Any ideas?

I know that sprint and another ISP are having a disagreement about interconnections . I dont know if that is still going .  I havent had trouble with www.hogsoft.com though that should be an american address and the pricing seems to be english pounds .

195.8.78.1 is the ip address I get. You could try a ping from the command prompt that is on the accessories menu.  If that doesnt work try tracert and see where the block is , or just call your isp tech support.

ping www.hogsoft.com
tracert www.hogsoft.com
ping 195.6.78.1
tracert 195.6.78.1

Hey guys, I am sorry for my last post. I am a hot head and I do act before I think sometimes. I had been told after several attempts that the site was gone; something about VPS whatever that means. I couldn't connect and the screen I saw was the type you get when a site doesn't exist. Coupled with what others had said I had every reason to believe that the site was gone. That is not an excuse, though. I had thought that my post above was not contentious but after looking at it again it looks pretty sarcastic after all. I have been so frustrated lately about my 3D work, especially my animation projects that I wasn't thinking and for that I sincerely apologize. Now to go a drink some cool aid. Just kidding.

what Englishbob said ;)   , you acted on what you had good reason to believe was true , no harm no foul, and I am used to women shouting at me ;)   

I got and replied to your site mail .

If I suggest it again I will mention renderosity store.

Apology == very cool.

After too many OT debates, I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one around here who ever admitted error or had to apologize.

Thanks Guys :)

I know this thread was started last month, but as of today I also can't access hogsoft.com.  Is there another link for this site?

It comes up just fine for me :-)

Hmmm, that's odd...I can't access it even when clicking on your link.  :crying:

Hm - my post here is a little OT. I can see the hogsoft site no problem. But yesterday I could not get any response from svdl's web site, http://www.svdlinden.nl/

Earlier today instead of a "Not Found" error I got a "Your IP address is not authorized" error with additional info saying my IP address has been blocked at the server.

As of this moment, it is back to "Not Found".

Perhaps there is something strange going on with internet between North America and Europe?

Hard to say, I'm in the USA.

Edited to clarify - http://www.anon.me/ gives me access to hogsoft (although I could get it anyway), but not svdl's site. That could be related, or there again, not. ;)

Great...that works!  Thanks Bob!

*Perhaps there is something strange going on with internet between North America and Europe?

*I can't get to steven's website either, and I'm living in Holland, but I can reach Hogsoft on the other hand so it must be something else.

I haven't seen Steven around for a long time, so I hope he is just busy with other things.

Bopper.

Does anyone have experience with CRPro II (mentioned above).  It's on clearance sale now and I would buy it if other users had used it successfully.

I would like to use it to make relative references absolute (which I believe it does on a scan runtime basis).

I would also like to use it to move content from one runtime to another (primarily to split large runtimes into smaller ones so they open more quickly in Carrara).   Does it do this effectively and safely?

Thanks,

Klebnor

I found CRPro's interface not really user friendly (for example too many clicks needed to choose the correct reference) and had it correct references to the wrong files (completely other filename...), even when the correct references were choosen.  Last time I tried it, it  was just sitting there doing nothing at all on the scan, maybe my runtime's too big now.
One good thing about it is that it writes a log file so you can find those errors - it's poorly formated thought, but if you use an editor that highlights all occurences of a certain filename, checking what it did isn't too bad.

Thanks, Dizzi and EnglishBob.

I have Poser File Organizer from Dimension3D, and it does an acceptable job of fixing references, but it is slow (on massive runtimes) and I find the interface daunting.  One must spend a lot of time researching what each option means to get the scan result desired.  Because it stops when it can't find a reference, one must babysit the scan and make a choice whenever a missing texture or other reference file is encountered.  This takes quite a while on runtimes with thousands of files.

It also indicates it can be used to move content, however, my experience is that when you move content, it leaves all the ancillary files where they are and just changes the references in the library object files you move to refer back to the old runtime.  This obviously negates the intent of splitting a runtime as the morphs, textures and geometries stay in the old runtime which remains huge.  I do not see such transfer capability in the Runtime Zip and Repair product.

I also have, and use frequently, Morphing Clothes from Dimension3D.  This is perhaps the best utility I have ever seen for Poser (DAZ, Carrara).  It adds morphs from a character object to a clothing object and it works extremely well in my experience.  If you have a character with specific body morphs you can easily add them to any piece of clothing.

What I really want to know is whether CRPro will transfer a piece of content, with all its ancillary files, from one Runtime to another - cleaning up after itself.  Right now the only option I know of is to completely delete the specific runtime and reinstall all content into two new Runtimes.  This is obviously the best method (although any alterations made to individual files is lost in the process along with any newly created content saved in the Runtime) but it is time consuming.

Any advice on CPPro II from users is appreciated.

Klebnor

I, too, would like to hear more about folks' experiences with CPPro or any other utilities for moving content from one Runtime to another.

Anyone have / use this product?
