Hi guys. I am relatively new to using 3-D but have used Poser for years just as a quick printable ref for hand done Illustrations. So I am starting a new Book and wanted a room in 3-d that I knew I would be revisiting throughout the Comic, and would be able to alter lightsources, and turn at any angle. I did a search and found FNDO here on renderosity. Read the reviews, which were great, BUT. I am running Snow Leopard on my Mac, and cant get ANYTHING TO LOAD. I cant find ANY system requirements listed on that page, and I guess I shoulda looked into it before I dropped the $10  :(

Im too new with Poser to know where to put the files once they are unzipped, and then proceed to Poser and get them loaded. But I guess thats a moot point if its PC and not Mac, huh?

Any help here would be appreciated.

a zip file should extract to the folder above runtime for a correct install. This is normally the Poser program folder i.e Poser 7.

There is a utility called I believe Stuffit ? for zip files on macs.

the readme file online says that it installs to RPublishingFilm noir detective office in each of the runtime/geometries, textures, libraries/props etc.

 

if it appeared to install then check those folders with the OS folder browser and try to find them.

I'm a Windows kinda guy myself, but I've heard Zip files can be troublesome on Macs. You may find PhilC's unzip utility useful (linked).

Hey Thanks fellas. Still like to know about supported operating systems though? I use StuffIt and it automatically opens

The zip files. So where to I place them?( if they can be used on a Mac)

the readme file in the zip or online from the product page will show where the files are to go.

 

They should install correctly if unzipped with path names to the poser program folder.

Versions of Poser above 7 may put the runtime somewhere else.

anyone know what causes this? notice Barclay's hair does not render, I checked the texture it is the correct texture but it is acting like it;s not.

 

 

poser 7 brand new machine 8 gigs of memory shit loads of vid ram  so memory should not be the issue here.

and here is the firefly render still Barclay's hair seems to be pointing to the wrong texture even though the right one is there.

Just because the right texture is where it should be doesn't mean that's the one Poser actually loads, so check the relevant node in the Material room.

You'll probably find that there's another texture with the same name thats getting found first.

If that is the problem, the simplest cure is to give the texture a more unique name, and edit any files that refer to it to reflect the change of name.
