Quote - I used PZDb for over a year. The shortcoming with it, (as with all CMSs) is first teaching it what goes with what. PZDb does, indeed, have a system where you can set flags that group materials, poses, and items together, but it may or may not work automatically. It depends on a number of factors including how the various files are named.

With the appearance of the PP2012 library, I really don't find an external library that much more helpful... especially if you do a little re-arranging/renaming of the content folders yourself. And don't forget the "Favorites" area. Bagginsbill has accomplished real magic there.

 

Thanks for the update on the limitations of PzDB, the database I use is not automated but not a real pain if I keep it updated with each new purchase.

I like the PP2012 library as well and use the search function on a regular basis, the only downside is you need some idea of the name of the product.  The advantage of the database when I am doing a scene and I need a prop or outfit but I am not sure what I want to use (or indeed exactly what I already have).  The database allows me to scan on sci-fi props or V4 outfits and provides a list of what I have or something I have seen that I have on a wish list somewhere.  On clicking on a line in the list I can see from the photo just how suitable it might be.  In the case of the wish list item it allows me to buy something I will use right away rather than purchase something for later but may never use.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
