Yep, WINE is you only real option, but be prepared for glitches & crashes even if you get it working.

But Poser is a PC / MAC application... why not set up a dual boot  machine and run it under the OS it was designed for?

Windows 10 x64 Pro - Intel Xeon E5450 @ 3.00GHz (x2)

PoserPro 11 - Units: Metres

Adobe CC 2017

I run it under linux/ ubuntu and poser pro works fine. With winetricks even daz studio, hexagon and carrara 7pro work pretty good. I had one crash with poser so far and a few with carrara, but I can't tell if this was carraras or ubuntus fault. I had problems with carrara 6 pro under windows too. As I never use DAZ Studio and am not willing to learn it I can only say that figure loading and basic renders work. I had to install it to get Carrara working under linux, it had something to do with the VB-Runtimes.
As cspear alredy said I recommend setting up a dual boot machine because many apps won't work that good with linux because they are designed to work with windows. Allthough the DAZ bitrock installers work fine with winetricks the initializing of the morphs for V4 and m4 won't work ( at least for me) so if you want use your morphpacks you will have to initialize them under windows.

Becuse then you can't do anything else whilst using Poser.  Mac OSX is Unix anyway, so there's a good likelyhood the universal binary would run under WIne.  Poser 7 runs decently under stock Wine, and almost perfectly under patched Wine.  However, I haven't yet purchased Poser Pro.

I wish I had known that Cararra 7 ran under Wine, as I couldn't get the beta to work properly, so I didn't upgrade.

DAZ Studio works with the latest version of Virtualbox in a Windows 2000 VM if you turn on 3D Acceleration on the virtual machine settings (at least with an nVidia card).

Cheers,

Rod
