I updated my sdk as the manual suggested and what I understood was that I could click on Window>Addons>Kinect Capture to open the window but "Kinect Capture" is not listed. I even rebooted my computer thinking that the 1.8 sdk needed that to completely be useable but I got the same results. What am I missing here?

In Poser 11 Pro: Go to Window > Add Ons > Kinect Capture

I guess you didn't read what I wrote. It's not there.

I don't see it either, but I'm not running latest SR (am using 11.0.2.3.31562) and I don't have a Kinect device (or driver)

Maybe it requires one or both of those items in place before you can see it.

really??

“Bear with me,” the standard expression, is a request for forbearance or patience. “Bare with me” would be an invitation to undress....... Boni! behave!

You must have a Kinect v1 connected or the window won't open, but you should see a prompt telling you to connect a Kinect and then restart the addon.

Was told by the guys in the know that this shouldn't happen ... best route is to make an official report and let the tech support take care of it.

I have 11.0.4.32467. As I said in my initial post, I updated my sdk. I have the Windows Kinect and had 1.7 installed. Updated to 1.8 because I have Win 7.

Boni ( ) posted Fri, 17 June 2016 at 6:21 AM

Did that take care of it? Sorry I missed your post.

I hooked up my MS kinect for windows, tried it on a couple of other apps I have that use it and it works fine. Fired up Poser Pro 11 and....nothing.

Richard60 ( ) posted Sun, 19 June 2016 at 10:55 AM

If it is not listed then probably your version of Poser does not think it is a Pro version, since only the Pro version has access to the Kinect. You may want to deactivate and reactivate your Poser 11 to see it that will cause the Kinect to show up. Otherwise you really need to get support help.

Thanks, I will try that!

taiuri ( ) posted Sat, 25 June 2016 at 9:02 PM

I have the same problem, and the most strange it has all the phyton files of kinect in the C:Files Programs/Smith Micro/Poser 11/Runtime/Python/Addons/KinectCapture location, they are 10 files (7 .py and 3 .dll). But the option doesn't appear in the Program. and I have the SKD 1.8 because I have Windows 7. Please someone who can help us with this! :(

agape ( ) posted Sat, 25 June 2016 at 9:44 PM

I went to the manual and it shows some of the other options that were in the Game dev version in 2014 that should be in Poser Pro 11. Those options also do not appear in my "Poser Pro". However, some of the other options that only occur in Poser Pro are there. It's like I have half of a Poser Pro.

taiuri ( ) posted Sat, 25 June 2016 at 11:07 PM

I don't know why Poser programmers have to do everything more difficult, some options in one version but in another version doesn't have them, why not they only put all the options in all the versions? Now I have this problem, and some people here too. I contacted Smith Micro help, I hope they can give me a solution.

agape ( ) posted Fri, 01 July 2016 at 10:54 PM

Taiuri, have you gotten any help from Smith Micro yet?

taiuri ( ) posted Sat, 02 July 2016 at 12:10 PM

Yes, but they told me I need 8 installers plus the Poser installer and the Update installer, and I don't have them, probably that's the reason I don't have the option. If someone could help me send me these 8 installers, I'd thank you forever. :(

agape ( ) posted Sun, 03 July 2016 at 11:14 PM

Maybe that is my problems. I only installed the main installer, not any of the content installers. I'm not interested in the content, only the app. I think I will uninstall it and install everything. Will let you know what happens.

taiuri ( ) posted Mon, 04 July 2016 at 3:15 PM

Okay, if it works, could you send me those 8 installers I need please? Because I only have the Poser installer and the Update Installer. Thanks! Please let me know your results :)

taiuri, use the download manager (available from here if you don't have it, http://my.smithmicro.com/poser-pro-11-updates.html ) to download the Poser installers you need. No one will send you the files.


taiuri ( ) posted Tue, 05 July 2016 at 3:31 PM

Ok. Thanks!

hdust ( ) posted Wed, 31 August 2016 at 8:38 PM
