Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Jan 03 1:41 pm)
As I've said on another thread not happy with the idea of the in app download manager replacing the install from zip archive function. I might be proven wrong, but unless it allows you to download zip files to wherever you want and to install content in whatever runtimes you want, it would not be a function I would want to use. And what about content purchased from places other than Rendo? Just have to wait and see I suppose, but not optimistic.

i always manually install the files where i want them, because in years past the files would always loud in the wrong run-time file and or files.
I always do the same as well, so if won't be able to download the zip files, and manually install them, it will be a cold day in hell when I next update PP11.

No plans to do away with current "Install from ZIP File" feature. The idea is to simplify the current purchase/download/install experience for new or casual users.
Uh, you sure about that?
"The main purpose of the download manager is on downloading and installing content and script purchases. It also replaces Poser's "Install from ZIP file" method of installing purchases with an easier method."
Also, the announcement has only been out a few hours and look at all the immediate negativity. No wonder people are soured on this forum. No one has anything positive to say? Really?
I am excited about the mention of fitting room improvements and more detailed instructions on how to use some rooms that could use said details. Thank you.
I wouldn't worry about this - it's just been poorly worded. If they wanted to remove the ability to install from a zip, what would that mean for adding existing runtimes? Apart from the fact that preventing people installing content that way would require a lot of costly programming, it would wipe out a large chunk of the user base - they wouldn't be doing either. If memory serves, you can install from a zip within Poser and I would imagine that's the facility that's getting changed.
An improvement to content installation and management would be very welcome.
And the guy figure? History has it the males are not attracting much support so if he can surf on the support for his older sister, much better. I hope the morph solution will allow to make the change gradual. I have no need for another 'superhero' in my runtimes. If I ever use a male I prefer the more feminine type.

And no news on OptiX or RTX support or rather Turing support
Thanks, Jura.

The whole GPU code could do with some love. The weird 1080ti performance issue and the crashes at higher render speeds could indicate some flaw that has implications for faster cards in general even if RTX support was added.

Technically, I believe that Dusk is a morph of Dawn. Or at least, Chris used the mesh as his base. The only thing that concerns me is that they had the V4 male, and that didn't work out so well.
Dawn, Dusk and Baby Luna are all the same mesh. Sharing textures and morphs is one of the customers' favorite things about the Hivewire figures.
DS never had anything approximating the Morph Bush which makes using an androgynous figure much more viable than anything 15 years old.

I have always been installing stuff manually including in DAZ Stuido. I simply install the package in a Content directory dedicated to that.Tthen I zup the content directory. Last delete everything for the next installation to come.
Et voilà ! I've got a ready to install ZIP :)
The problem with that lkind of installer is what if the download server gets down, definitely ? Don't forget that the Smith Micro servers let us down in just a few months.
My backups are my best trusted friends.
Appart from this welcome Poser 11.3. Good to have it growing again.

Hi there
GTX1080Ti or GTX performance is quite good with older drivers(388.13 or 399.24) what I tested in past, with latest drivers branch like 441.41 or Nvidia Studio Drivers 441.28 which you really want to use when you are using RTX or Turing in Blender 2.81 performance is not the best in my view in other SW where RT cores are not used or when you are using GTX1080Ti or any series of GTX GPUs
Don't update drivers every time when new driver is released its my recommendation, use older drivers like 388.13 or 399.24 if you are using GTX1080Ti, from newest drivers branch Studio 430.86 is probably best
Thanks, Jura

Somebody is reading this forum thread - your quoted text has been deleted from the announcement page. And yes, I remember reading that too this morning.
As for me ... I am watching and waiting for a "no phoning home edition" before I am giving them my money. Or at least only phoning home once and that's it ...
Weekly calls? no thank you.
Apart from that I do have an RTX card, so no Superfly for me anyway.
Luckily I like all of my rendering software (no application wars on my computer, they are peacefully coexisting, LOL), so I can choose which one to use at a given time.

For those of you who are have super new graphics cards that superfly can't hand;e yet, you can still render in superfly by using the CPU like us poor slobs who are stuck with the really old video cards. "Good things come to those who wait."
Hearing the installer won't be required is good. And I look forward to seeing the improvements to the fitting room. And instructions for some of the rooms sounds great, thinking of the recent thread on the cloth room, that turned into a train wreck because everyone has their one way to do things, and that wasn't the only thread like that. I look forward to one for the hair room. I want to start making hair again.

Again, I might reading things into it that aren't there, but I think the point of the download manager is merely to direct your content into the proper folder automatically WITHOUT you having to manually put it where you think it should go. Of course, that's more for newbies and people who don't use Poser a lot and so haven't gotten the Runtime structure down pat.
I'm also hoping that Poser will go back to perpetual licenses. Would like to hear someone address that aspect of Poser for the future.
Re: the new render Wizards... can we have a simple new button on Sketch Designer, please: "Turn off/on all sketching into the background". It would help newbies not to black-screen and crash their Poser, when first trying out and tinkering with the Sketch rendering. They would also discover how deliriously fast a Sketch render can be (seconds, not hours).

Coppula eam se non posit acceptera jocularum.
Really glad to hear that the new team is working on improvements to existing systems. Poser has needed this for a long time. I like the idea of wizards for new users. As an example, the 1st couple of weeks, I didn't understand why all of my renders were black rectangles (which is what happened in Poser 5 if you don't add lights.)
Re: GPU rendering - Turing is a Nvidia Window only solution. That eliminates everyone on OSX and every windows user that has an AMD card.
Suggestion: AMD ProRender Engine. It doesn't care if you use a Nvidia card or an AMD card. It will also use your CPU & Memory along with your GPU and memory as 1 render engine. I am sure the Blender Cycles Engine can be back-ported into Superfly (or we could just dump Superfly and go with Cycles - Superfly is just a port of Cycles). It is both Open-Source and AMD could assist in getting it coded for Poser.
Not liking the new cover. At all. Would prefer something a little more professional looking. Unless of course, the goal to to shrink the Poser base to just those that do pin-up art.
Presentation matters.

Hah! Well, that's good news. I mean, obviously they can't prevent you from putting files where you want them, but I was worried purchases here would no longer be available in the traditional zip format.

You are out of the loop in regards to ProRender. Latest version for MacOS works with AMD cards only. It does not work with CPU only on MacOS (at least the version that comes with C4D, haven’t tested the Blender version). Older versions did not work well with Nvidia cards on MacOS. In short on MacOS its a AMD only solution.
On the other hand, Blender Cycles has support for CPU, CUDA and openCL. On MacOS openCL has been dropped in latest version due to Apple.
Which is why after 20 years, I am saying goodbye to Tim and Apple. Intel is a dead platform for the next few years. Timmy has decided to make Apple irrelevant in the creator marketspace. The upcoming 7,1 Mac Pro will be obsolete the day it actually flops out the door.
It doesn't matter about being an AMD only solution on OSX - there are no Nvidia OSX cards. A few days ago Nvidia officially announced they have dropped support for CUDA on OSX. Add that in with no video drivers for either the 16 series or the 20 series, Nvidia on OSX is moot.

Where's the new cover? I got curious.

Oh. Ok. Yeah that's a pinup.
My guess is that they just went for the most realistic-like render of La Femme they were allowed to use?

All professional 3D/CG artists are leaving the mac platform.
I switched to windows 7 years ago to gain access to Iclone,s character animation software.
I will keep my old Intel Mac until it dies.
however I use my two WINDOWS PC's for all of my character animation work.
apple has become a luxury brand for affluent consumers..good for them.
no hard feelings.

What is wrong with Pinup Art? Tempesta3D is one my favorite artists. If he made the cover I'm happy for him.
It's gorgeous art. I guess the worry here is that this "teasing" kind of art in the cover will make Poser look like a tool specifically for sexy pinup only, like so many tools out there. When it can do so much more, even though pinup only is good enough.

Ohki and Rhia, you're two of my favorite artists. I hear you.
On one hand, sexy definitely sells. You show a pretty chick holding a rock and that rock will sell. Sean Martin and I had a laugh over the Sexy Generalettes outfit. (Still putting together a promo for the bundle). But at the same time, you don't want to turn off people like ssgbryan and his backhanded swipe at those who DO like pinup art and like to do pinup at, either exclusively or on occasion. I built a comic with Poser, but I can tell you I got more views when I decided to swimsuit issue like Marvel, Darkhorse or the other comic houses. Some of the views stuck around and turned into fans.
Sigh. I guess the takeaway is we all like Tempesta3D.
Ohki, Your chick holding a sword in front of the Temple should now be accompanied by a chick selling a rock.
