Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 21 6:06 am)



Subject: Hi. Help please? Poses.


ZigZag321 ( ) posted Thu, 02 July 2009 at 12:02 PM · edited Fri, 22 November 2024 at 11:40 PM

I recently started saving some original poses in my Poses folder in my main Poses library
and now I'm beginning to accumulate quite a few.

Is there a way to move these to a folder in an external runtime?

I couldn't track down info on this anywhere.  Or I'm looking in the wrong places.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Yes. Copy your poses (hopefully you put them in their own directory folder, otherwise you'll have to root thru the pose folder and just pick out those few.

For setting up freebies and external runtimes, I already have a folder set up with empty folders, i.e.: Runtime/libraries/Pose:Materials:Characters...etc. You'll need to put your poses in the Pose folder inside the libraries folder (which, in turn is inside the Runtime folder). Then you can put your runtime with Poses anywhere you want to and link to it from within Poser.

Yep, you can use external runtimes.

Just create a folder called "runtime" and copy your pose files to the same path IE:  runtimelibrariespose

Then when you open poser, click on the very top blue folder in the library. The one with the curved arrow.  Click until you get to a folder that says the version of poser that you have IE: Poser 6

Next follow the picture instructions I've attached

And finally this is how you add the external runtime.

Simply browse to the runtime folder.  Select the "runtime" folder, not a folder inside it.  The runtime will be added to your library.

I suggest giving your runtime a name, such as "My Poses" or something along that line.

I have several dozen external runtimes.

V3 Character Addons
V3 Clothing
V4 Character Addons
V4 Clothing
A3
Angels and Fairies
Halloween
Poses
Props
Lighting
M3 Character Addons
M3 Clothing
Animals
Birds
Christmas
Flowers and Plants
Backgrounds and Scenes

plus many, many, many more. It makes finding things very easy because everything is so highly organized.

Oh okay.  Thank you both very much!

Me too on the external runtimes.  I only wish I would have done it sooner, but I never expected
to accumulate so much content and now I'm reorganizing all my favorite stuff.

But alright.  This is great.  Thanks again.

I am assuming that the advice Acadia and LaurieA is already common knowledge and the real question you are asking is: are there easier ways to transfer files between runtimes?  Other than using your browser to transfer files, you can useP3D0 Explorer.  It is geared towards 3d model usage and interface friendly.  And it is free.  Since you are interested in just transferring your pose files, this should make it easier.  Just make certain that your new external runtime follows the same convention as your main folder.

Hey, that's really interesting.  I never heard of that program before.  Sounds ideal.  Thanks!
