.bum(Poser) = .bmp(Other graphic programs)

LOTR uses Linux, 3000 servers of it... OK, you told me you do not have Linux (need I mention it is free?) and if you wish to finish this project in a short time I do inderstand that using it seems daunting ( and not such a great advice). However, consider that all 3D feature films since Titanic were rendered using Linux render farms, so this platform did prove itself for this kind of tasks. On the long run you should give it more attention...

Try it on Linux?

Well, it is ok for me now.

I did following:

• Clear internet cache (files and cookies): no immediate success
• Reset my ADSL router and reboot PC (reset dhcp Windoz style): success!

Probably something got stuck, I cannot really pin-point where... but it's likely to be on my side and not DAZ, uh-oh :). BTW DAZ showed attention to my mail, thanks Allen!

Thanks, igohigh, for the advice about the cache.
EricofSD, try resetting cache and check if your DNS is setup ok, hope it works

not for me :-(

LonCray, Poser5 supports to have multiple Runtime directories, so moving Poser software is not really necessary to use your new drive. Create a directory structure (without files) on your new drive (I suppose it is D:) that looks like Poser-DRuntime and underneath dirs Characters, Pose, Textures etc. Finally from within Poser, "Add library" --> Choose D:Poser-D.

You need .sit files for MAC, .exe is for MS-Win.

Quote _Dodger: "Relocate them."

Amen.

That is why my favorite Poser utility is the text editor vi ;-)

 Rendered with Poser5

Hi,

Use the Windows (if you use windows:) file manager to move the files to their correct locations.

Search in this forum on "file location" to get handy info.
One useful link:

One word of advise, avoid to unzip files directly into the Poser directory, even when the readme suggests you can (The zip could contain refs to say German or Italian Windows versions and then for English Windows propably the file paths will be wrong). Unzip them to a new directory and then manually move the files to their locations. Edit the .cr2, .hr2 or .pp2 file to make sure the locations match. There is python script that check if paths are ok.

Another point for doing this is that it allows to organize things your way. If you have Poser5, it is possible to add extra Libraries. I put my extra (free or puchased) stuff in an extra library so I can easily see what came original with Poser5 and what I added.

Cheers and enjoy!

For the update issue, Daz supplies a new installer. Mail to Daz to get it. Mail address is supplied in the error window.

Same here, update does not seem to work. I have contacted tech@daz3d. Will post response as soon as I get it...

Actually all files (pz3, cr2, pz2, obj) can be read with a text editor. I like gvim (http://www.vim.org), it is very fast and lightweight, but there are (usually free)alternatives as gvim is more for Unix buffs :). I use gvim on Windows as it automatically converts between formats and saves in the original format. You may consider to get and learn to use such a text editor because looking inside these files is the best way to understand and hack problems you cannot fix with Poser. I use gvim very often to fix paths inside these files. There are other threads about text editors. Use search to find them.

Free stuff is not an excuse for misbehaviour, or bad quality... Quality standards and conduct should not be measured by price. Unneeded reposts for unclear reasons should be banned.
