Hi Nantwein. I got that message when I used the update installation file under macOS Catalina. Here's the solution...

From Apple's Support site:

In macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave, when an app fails to install because it hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer, it will appear in System Preferences > Security & Privacy, under the General tab. Click Open Anyway to confirm your intent to open or install the app.

The warning prompt reappears, and you can click Open.*

The app is now saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it, just as you can any authorized app.

Hope this helps!

'Tis done...

Excellent! Thank you so much for all the work you've done with Poser over the years. Your scripts are incredibly useful!

Don't want to derail this thread, but I'm a Mac user, and still using the original Bondware Poser v. 11.2.276. (I also owned the SmithMicro version 11 Pro.) There's a new dated download for November 13. This is either the 2nd or 3rd update. How does this version work? I'm using Mac OS 10.12.6, Sierra, btw.

Hi inquire. I updated my PP11.2.xxx (might have been 276) to 11.2.319 a couple of days ago on a Mac mini running 10.12.6 Sierra. This morning I updated a MacBook running 10.15.1 Catalina to Poser Pro 11.2.319. Both instances of Poser work normally. I did note that in Catalina on the MacBook while running an earlier version of Poser Pro 11.2 that there was a strange rendering phenomenon evident on completed renders. This appears to be fixed with 11.2.319.

I'm running Poser Pro 11.2.319 on a Mac mini (macOS Sierra 10.12.6) after updating from a much earlier 11.2.x version. All went smoothly for me. I copied the contents of the backup folder (prefs, etc.) to the newly installed Poser 11 folder. The Mac installer automatically creates this time stamped backup folder and doesn't ask to retain preferences. It's simple to copy the preference and settings back into the fresh installation folder and replace the factory defaults located there. Unless you need to reset everything. I've had this work perfectly on 3 Macs so far. I hope this bit of positive update news helps!

Done Sir. happy shopping and happy Saturday!

Thank you so very, very much, Jenn!! You are awesome!

I hope you have an excellent weekend as well.

Whoops, I meant to say 3 gift certificates that totalled $25, not $30. It's already been one of those days, LOL!!

Yep, the Business Hair is likely too long for your needs. That said, here are the results of what I was originally trying to do with that hair last night.

I rendered a bald version of M4, then another render with the highly modified and scaled Business Hair, and then brought both renders into Photoshop where I put both renders on separate layers. Some quick Eraser work to blend them together yielded the final result.

I had fun experimenting with these hair props/figures. Thank you, anupaum for inspiring me to play. I just wish I'd been able to point you to a solution!

Lee

Top to Bottom: Hack job on the Business Hair to get it sort of close to the fit. Bald version. Photoshop postwork of the first 2.

Perhaps restoring your preferences from the previously installed version? I believe the Mac installer creates a date/time stamped folder with a backup of your preferences during installation. That might resolve some of the issues.

Hi anupaum and Rhia474!

I was hoping the Hero hair would be in Joequick's free Golden Age pack. Sadly, his original pack is no longer sold here. The Hero hair is truly versatile to style.

As promised, here's a sample of RedzStudio's Business Hair for Dawn & Dusk that I scaled to fit M4. I also tried scaling to fade the upper/fuller hair down to a shaved look on the lower half, but the transition didn't look very good. I do love this hair though!

Lee

Here's what I ended up with earlier this morning using Joequick's Hero hair and SAV's Alpha Skull Cap. M4 on the left has the SAV skull cap turned off, M4 on the right has it turned on. Please ignore the sloppy fit of the skull cap, I was more focused on the Hero hair. LOL!

Excellent suggestions from Kerya and RedPhantom! Thanks for sharing those. I might give them a try as well.

Lee

I'm having difficulty scaling the Business Hair for M4. Here's a very rough, low quality test of the Hero hair with the Edinburgh texture with baked in hair on M4. It sort of gets there, but would need a lot more scaling and using the hair's morph dials to get it looking more like you want.

It's a start! LOL!

I'll resume my test renders in the morning.

Lee

I'll let you know how well this works, anupaum. I've been tinkering with the Hero hair first. I could probably get it close to what you're looking for, but will be trying the Business hair now. Might have to wait until tomorrow to see it. It's past midnight here, but I will stay up a little longer to see if I can get an initial render of it out.

Stay tuned!

Lee

You might be able to scale and fit the fibermesh hair, The Business Hair for Dawn and Dusk, to get close to that hair style, anupaum.

Here's the store link:

Perhaps scaling the hair smaller than the head where the hairs poke through slightly above the scalp will work? I have this excellent hair figure and will try that out on M4 shortly.

Lee

This may not be short enough, but the Painter hair for 3-Dream's Master Skull Cap is one of my favorites. Here's a sample:

Also, you might find Joequick's Hero hair suitable (comes in his Golden Age hero clothing set for M4). It's strand based and has a lot of morphs to play with. I've done some short hair styles with it, mostly mohawk and slicked back hair. It may be too thin/sparse for close ups.

Here's the store link (see the product image of sample hair styles):

https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/golden-age-heroes-for-dazs-m4/92595

It's now unavailable to buy, However, he gave away the set on ShareCG, but I'm not sure if it includes the hair. You might want to download the ShareCG set to see. If the hair interests you.

Hope this helps!

So, there have been 2 released updates since 11.2.276? If I download now, I'll probably get 11.2.307, right?

I believe you will, inquire. It was the Mac release for 10/11/2019 if my memory is correct.
