maybe OP wants to know how to use a background img (downloaded from here) in poser, or how to map it onto the one-sided square prop.  or maybe OP wants to know how to add img to forum post or to gallery here.  recommend OP use his/her native language.

If you are asking how to install Poser content supplied in a zip archive then this free utility may help.

http://www.philc.net/unzip.php

Full instructions are on the page plus there is a link to an on screen video tutorial showing how to install it.

Hope that helps.


clsiu1984 ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 12:27 AM

I just check it out the one your site...still cant help it...not working...some of the application cant open it.


PhilC ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 12:43 AM

What file are you trying to open in which application?

Did you find the video tutorial explaining how to install the files helpful?


clsiu1984 ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 12:56 AM

Yes i find the video tutorial but its look complicate...the file i cant open which its pyc file..not sure if i dont have that file code..in unzip philc.


PhilC ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 1:13 AM

You do not need to open the PYC file.

If you have installed the files correctly in accordance with the instructions then you will also need to use the utility in accordance with the instructions.

Nowhere in the instructions does it say to File > Open the PYC file.

http://www.philc.net/unzip.php


Start the script using one of these methods:-

  1. Select the Poser menu "Scripts" ---> "PhilC" ---> "P7_start_unzip"
    Then select the Poser menu "Window" ---> "Python Scripts"
  2. Select the Poser menu "File" ---> "Run Python script" ---> browse to:-
    Poser 7RuntimePythonposerScriptsPhilCunzipstart_unzip.py
    Then select the Poser menu "Window" ---> "Python Scripts"
  3. Select the Poser menu "Window" ---> "Python Scripts"
    Click an empty script button then browse to:-

I choose number 2 method you offer me..when i open poser 8 then i go file run python script..then ask me the file..I dont know...I dont see any unzip there...I try to do it tomorrow.,,but little complicate.


PhilC ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 2:06 AM

If browsing for a file is too complicated then try the first method and use the Poser menu option.

If after restarting Poser you do not see the unzip starter entry in the Poser Scripts menu then it will be an indication that you have not installed the files correctly.

There are only four files so it should be easy to check.


Poser 8RuntimePythonposerScriptsPhilCunzip

unzip.pyc
unzip.xml
start_unzip.py


Poser 8RuntimePythonposerScriptsScriptsMenuPhilC

P7_start_unzip.py

Also please note that on a PC pretty much all zipped Poser content may be installed using the drag and drop method in Windows Explorer. This is explained in my video tutorial. On a Mac its more complicated, hence the unzip utility.


clsiu1984 ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 9:54 AM

I already restart my laptop..then try to open poser 8 and still dont see  unzip folder....when i go poser 8...then i go to file....run python script ..then what next? go to my program file and look for poser 8????

As I mentioned previously, if you are having difficulty with the concept of browsing for a file you may want to use an alternative method of starting the unzip script.

Provided that you have installed the files correctly you will be able to click on the Poser "Scripts" menu and subsequently select "PhilC" and "P7_start_unzip"

This will bring up the unzip window.


PhilC ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 10:44 AM · edited Wed, 29 December 2010 at 10:45 AM

file_463443.jpg

Your next action will be to click on the button labeled "Browse for zip file". It will enable you to search for, and select the archive of Poser content that you wish to install. As I say if browsing for a file presents a challenge then it may be something that you would wish to learn at this juncture. I'll be happy to help if I can.

Suggest that you install to the default library at this stage.


clsiu1984 ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 10:51 AM

I already install it unzip window you gave me that...but nothing happen i cant open unzip the one u open the same one.


PhilC ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 11:01 AM

Lets take it step by step.

When you click on the Poser Scripts menu do you see an entry named "PhilC"?

yes/no?

If yes, when you click on "PhilC" do you see an entry "P7_start_unzip"?

yes/no

If no then you have not installed the files correctly.

If yes, If you select the entry "P7_start_unzip" does a window pop up?

yes/no


clsiu1984 ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 11:13 AM

I dont see poser script on the menu phil c..but i only see run python file...and also dont see phil c and not see p7-start unzip.. do i have to drag it phil c from unzip file to poser 8? drag script from phil c?


PhilC ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 11:29 AM · edited Wed, 29 December 2010 at 11:30 AM

file_463444.jpg

Maybe you are using a non English version of Poser?

What menu entry do you see between "Window" and "Help"?


clsiu1984 ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 11:32 AM

i see that script samething u got yep but when i click script and dont see phil c?


PhilC ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 12:09 PM

OK that would indicate that you have not installed the four files required to run the script files correctly.

My unzip utility was intended to be a time saver. Since that is not proving to be the case may I please suggest that you go back to the video on the unzip page because that in essence explains everything you need to know about how to install almost all zipped Poser content.

My zip file contained four files, many Poser content zips contain hundreds so it may be best to take some time reviewing the video.

http://www.philc.net/installing_zips_into_Poser.php

Or use WinZip or any other decompression application. You will however still need to install and use each one in accordance with the instructions.

Here are some more video tutorials that may help with basic file manipulation and how to use your computer.

http://www.ehow.com/video_4445924_organizing-files-microsoft-windows.html

http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_6791450_default-unzip-folder.html

Another option may be to click the Start button on your desktop and select the help option. Type "zip" into the help window search field and review the results.

If you can think of any other way that I can help you then please let me know.


clsiu1984 ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 2:53 PM

Ok..I got it when i open poser 8...and i use philc unzip...when i go to poser menu..see script..i see philc then click that..then i see wardrope wizard...i dont see unzip start p7?


PhilC ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 3:28 PM · edited Wed, 29 December 2010 at 3:29 PM

It is a little difficult to follow exactly what you are saying. Could you please post a screen shot similar to this one:-

It will tell me if the Wardrobe Wizard entry is under Scripts or if it is in the PhilC roll out. Or both.

Start by closing Poser then re-open it.

Use your mouse to click over the menus until they are expanded exactly as shown above.

Then hit the "Print Screen" key on your key pad. You'll usually find it on the very top row next to the F12 key. If it is not there on your laptop it will be close by, but it will be there somewhere. Ensure that the drop down menus are visible when you hit the key.

Now go to the Windows Start button, click it and select All Programs > Accessories > Paint.

When the Paint application opens select the menu Edit > Paste. Your screen shot will appear. Make sure that it includes the drop down menus. Now go to File > Save and save the image.

Post that image to this forum thread.

Thanks.

I was just going to say: (agreeing with Laurie)... and posting a screenshot is a really good idea, but will OP be up to it? In any even, I'm bookmarking this as a great fleshing-out of your instructions on this really great tool, Phil.

OP, from what I can see, to post a picture easily, you can use the attach a file feature:

The picture of the girl at the top was the attached file.

Another thing: not to remind you of your manners, OP, but a Thank You to Phil for his efforts would be appropriate. Me, I'd be sending him flowers right about now... 😄

Quote - what program should i open when i download rendorosity picture..jpg..to poser 8?

clsiu1984 mentions "picture" and "jpg". So I assume clsiu1984 is trying to load a jpg picture into Poser.

If so, there are basically two ways to load a picture in Poser, as a Background Picture, or as a Texture Map.

A Background Picture is just a picture that sits at the back of a poser scene. It provides a backdrop for any figures or other 3D content you load into your Poser scene.

The other way to load a picture is as a Texture Map. A Texture Map is a picture that you apply to some 3D item in your Poser scene to change its appearance. You might apply it to a human figure to give the figure suntanned skin, or you might apply it to curtains to give them a pattern.

clsiu1984, it might help us to help you if you could tell us if you are:

"A" trying to load a Background Picture.
or
"B" trying to load a Texture Map.

Also did the file come in a zip, or did you download it as a jpg?

To help you we need to understand what you are trying to do, and what you have downloaded. That is not clear at the moment.


clsiu1984 ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 9:20 PM

I have a complicate file..which i have no idea...I just follow philc unzip file...and just look the video..but i got some picture from here that site...from poser 8 content...i just click winzip..then its come up that picture..from that site.. I am trying to work that..still need to figure it out...and i think i accidently delete wizard rope menu..from phil c..and still need to copy the picture to u what i did..like you mention paint.


clsiu1984 ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 9:25 PM

I mean wardrobe wizard menu.


RobynsVeil ( ) posted Wed, 29 December 2010 at 9:40 PM

Let's dissect this:

Quote - I have a complicate file..which i have no idea...

Let's uncomplicate it. Does the file end in .zip? .jpg? what does it end in? Send us a picture.

Quote - I just follow philc unzip file...

What do you mean, you "followed a file"? Did you follow his instructions on how to unzip a file? Is this what you meant? Send us a picture.

Quote - and just look the video..but i got some picture from here that site...

You looked at a video. Whose video? PhilC's? And you "got a picture from here" - here, being Renderosity? - "that site..." which site? This site? Send a picture.

Quote - from poser 8 content...

Poser 8 content that came with Poser 8? Did you get this from Content Paradise, then? Send us a picture, PLEASE!

Quote - i just click winzip..then its come up that picture..from that site..

Content Paradise? You're extracting an image from the Poser 8 content file you got when you bought Poser 8?

Quote - I am trying to work that..still need to figure it out...and i think i accidently delete wizard rope menu..from phil c..and still need to copy the picture to u what i did..like you mention paint.

So, what I'm distilling from all this is that you downloaded and are attempting to make sense of the Poser 8 content that came with Poser 8 which you downloaded from Content Paradise. Does that sound right?

To create a screen capture picture in Windows, hold down the Shift key and press PrtSc (up the top row of keys). Then, in Paint or PSP or Photoshop or just about any image programme, create a blank file and click Paste from the edit menu. In the GIMP (which is free) you do a direct "Create from Clipboard". Save the image as a JPG type file, which you can then insert into your post in the method I described.

Oh, I'm so clueless as to what exactly it is you're trying to do.

I realize English is probably not your native language, and that seems to be the major stumbling block I think. If you speak German or French, I think there are forums here in those languages. You may have better luck articulating exactly what you're having trouble with :o).

You could also try posting your question in your native language...there's certain to be someone here that speaks it and can at least translate it for the rest of us so that we can help you better.
