Check here for application information under Wine.

Poser 7 runs quite well under Linux using a patched wine.:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13066

It runs slightly less well unpatched, but it is usable-run in a virtual desktop mode, and when Poser starts resize the main Poser background window to be a bar at the top of the screen-otherwise the  viewport will vanish behind the background when you move the figure or camera.

I didn't install it under Wine, but copied my Poser directory to a DVD and transfered it to my Linux partition, and linked the directory to the .wine/drive_c/Program Files directory.

If you have a Windows license lying about, Poser 7 runs well except for slow video in the viewport using Windows 2000 in Virtualbox ( www.virtualbox.org ).
