Hi, I have been searching for information concerning this subject, for a long time. I don't have great Search engine skills, so even finding this feature within Renderosity was not easy for me. Now that I have found it, you can bet I will create a bookmark to get back to here, so I can learn whatever is posted to help me with this problem.

As it is, I won Poser 11 Pro when Smith Micro still had Poser. It seems that right after that win, Renderosity acquired Poser. It took me some time just to find a way to contact the right people so that I could finally download the Poser 11 Pro application. It has already been installed on my computer, since about a year or more ago. I can use it, but only in a very limited fashion. This is because the only content I have available at this time is the very limited default content that installs with the installation of the application itself. Andy is in there, but he is not the default loaded figure, when I launch Poser. All in all, there are perhaps a dozen and a half figures, and a smattering of other content available. Hardly anything to create some real interesting scenes with.

If I am not mistaken, there is supposed to be a more robust library that is included with each version of Poser, and it includes all types of figures, vehicles, props, clothing, environments, architecture, poses, materials, lights, shaders, and so on. I thought that It was downloaded with my copy of Poser 11 Pro, but I cannot find it anywhere in my files on my computer. I also have two other runtime libraries I wish to use in Poser. Both are already in use in DAZ Studio, but there are certain things that DAZ Studio cannot access, due to the formatting of those things, which is strictly of use in Poser alone. Example: .mc6 and .mcz will not load at all in DAZ Studio. To use these formats, I must load them as materials in Poser. Most of the Poser formats can be used in DAZ Studio, but certain ones are Poser only. Also, certain products I have acquired will only work in Poser, so far as I am able to determine. The TerraDome products are for creating landscape environments, in Poser only. I don't know why they don't work in DAZ Studio, but they don't, so far as I am aware. I wish to create a special runtime library for TerraDome products only. I will be placing those and any morphs I make for them in that Library.

So, my first question is obviously as follows:

Where can I find the full Library that is supposed to be included with Poser 11 Pro?

Question 2:

How do I install libraries into Poser? (For this I need step by step instructions, with nothing left out! I am a beginner with Poser, so please keep that in mind.

I thank any that are willing to help me with this, because my searches for tutorials concerning this has brought forth none.

Let me start off with this is way easier in Poser 13. It's basically 1 click to add all the included content. That said let's add the included libraries to Poser 11.

Poser 11's included content is a series of Zip files available for download from the PoserSoftware.com site. https://www.posersoftware.com/downloads/content/11 (That link will ask for you serial number so have it handy.)

Download all that you want to include. Save the zips. Don't let your web browser "help" by extracting the zips for you. They need to be zip files for the next step to work.

Open Poser and from the top menu choose File > Install From Zip Archive ...

Choose one of the zip files you downloaded from the system file chooser.

Now select a library to add the content to ...

Click install and the content from the zip will be added to your library,

After installing content it's recommended to restart Poser to be sure the newly added items show in the library

Now the new content will be in your library

Happy Rendering
