Erogenesis,

This is really excellent! It's so good to see that you're picking it up again!

I think lots of people will be really keen on this. My art is also comic based - usually (see below) and I like to be as realistic as I can, even for the comic characters!

I love the V4 model and have invested years creating my own characters, modding them, etc.

I can't keep up with all the new DS characters - I tried Genesis, A6, etc. but I use Poser and love it, especially for comics.

As soon as I start to think I'm getting up-to-speed with the mass of new commercial characters, along comes another one... or two... I can't keep up time wise or financially.

I think this is great project, please persevere, you will be successful...

I'd be happy to contribute whatever I can to help make this a success... Let me know if you need any help testing, or anything.

Who'd have thought it?

Michael,

Thank you for your e-mail. 

I believe my results are sound and are valid for the following reasons:

1. I use all the poser libraries from several previous versions of poser as well as 2012

2. I had no error or warning messages

3. All characters in the scene were skinned and the render was complete

4. The scene looked good to me

5. I have been using poser for over 12 years and am very familiar with the product

6. I have just opened Poser, added both male and female G2 tennis shoes
       This worked without issue and rendered perfectly... See attached image.

If you are having issues with missing components and have legitimate copies of previous versions of Poser, I would suggest using your backups to restore your runtimes and include them in the list of libraries.

If you don't have backups available, install the earlier versions on another computer, create a backup of the Runtime then deinstall poser on that computer.  

You will need to do this for each version. 

Do not leave Poser installed on another computer unless you are licensed to do so.

If you do not have another computer available, you could try the following (at your own risk):

1. Take a backup
       Full image if possible or copy the poser folder to another location. 

2. Remove Poser 2012
       This will be restored as it is in step 8 below. 

3. Install earliest version of poser that you have
       This will create the runtime folders with the missing content. 

4. Make a copy of the runtime in another location
      This is done so that you can use them once Poser 2012 is restored. 

5. Remove this old version of Poser
       Do this by using the uninstall, do not just delete the folder. 

6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for all your versions

    This will result in all runtimes being restored and saved. 

1. Reinstall Poser 2012
       This will be a "Vanilla" build of Poser 2012 

2. Overwrite the new Poser 2012 folder with the one taken in step 1 above
       This will restore your poser folder to how it was when you removed it... 

3. You should now be back to where you started but with all your runtimes
       Add them to your library list in poser.

Note that I have not performed these steps as I use my backups.  If you undertake these actions, you do so at your own risk.  This is, in my opinion, a valid way to do this although you might want to check with SmithMicro to see if it would cause any issues or if they have a better solution.

You mentioned that the following files were missing:

• G2Casual-TennisShoes
• G2Casual-T-shirt
• G2Casual-CasualPants
• G2_Pants
• G2_T_shirt
• G2_Tennis_Shoes

On my computer, these are currently in my Poser 7 libraries so, unless I moved them from somewhere else, I assume that these came with Poser 7?  Not sure, don't really care - They are there.

I have 5 libraries in my version of Poser 2012 - 3 are from earlier versions of poser (Poser 7, Poser 2010 and Poser 2012) and the others I created myself to keep my own content separate. 

Having multiple libraries is a great feature of Poser. 

Thank you for your concern. 

I hope that this helps you.

usamike,

Glad you are happy with the result.

I do have a bit of a monster PC as well...  It all helps!
