Thanks! I have a friend online that's obsessed with cowbell, I'm going to fire up Poser and make him a cowbell animation with.. of course! .. a COWBELL ONLY soundtrack!

If I actually finish it, I'll post a link here.  Heh.

Well, Vicky and Mike complained endlessly about being naked, in a temple even (Vicky hung on to the sword, she was worried what Mike might try).  So I had to get clothes, and of course move them out of the temple into a more soothing setting.

Eventually I moved to Poser Pro 2010 and started dabbling in Web comics, so I needed more specialized content, then tried my hand at illustrating my stories and poetry, which meant I needed MORE content, then I got into horror and steampunk...

So here I sit with Poser Pro 2012, Vue 11, and a total of 8 runtimes containing close to 90GB of content!!!  And it's still just a hobby!

Learn from my sad tale!

Miss you, Dude! Be well.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! waves like a lunatic And argh, bought more stuff I might use once. Argh!

Ok, my largest runtime is my Renderosity one (heh), it's 56.8GB (!!) with 165,300 files (!!).

Metadata scanning and building for the library manager is pretty slow, but given the huge amount of stuff I have, it's not too surprising.

I have 8 different runtimes now, though.  Hmmph.

Quote - I have Library Manager 2.6 running now.  It still shows a limit of 900 data bindings.

Yeah - I forgot to post (red face).  Maybe someone shoud contact Shaderworks about allowing that to be increased?

Glad to help where I can! :-)

Quote -Hey WoolyLoach,

I was thinking about that one, I know wht you mean my external runtime is at almost 70GB, like I said,  spending too much time looking, not creating. Thanks for the advice.

Once I get home tonight, I'll look and see if V2.6 has a higher data binding limit - I think my largest single runtime is about 12-14GB.. I'll look into it this eve and post what I discover.

I use Shaderworks Library Manager 2.6 with my  Poser Pro 2012, it has some nice featues that make my life easier.. it takes a while to build the database, but you rarely have to rebuild the entire thing.

The native library manager in PPro 2012 is pretty decent on its own, though, once you figure out how to make the best of it.

Ihave well over 30GB of Poser content (!!), so a manager is a necessity.. plus it has some neat features for loading only part of a pose (for example).  I do have seven runtimes, so I'm not sure if there's a file-count limit.

It's sure not necessary, but it's nice.

Quote - > Quote - Yes, I have Anime Studio Pro 8, and no I am not impressed at all at the Poser integration, unless they have made it much better in later verisons.

Import is slow, posing and integrated features are not what I expected...it was a disappointment for me.

Hint: the word "poser" is not even on that page you linked.

That being said, Anime Studio itself is VERY good at what it does, not considering Poser.  I was just thinking of using it as part of a pipeline for making characters in poser, then using them there for animation.  Didn't work out for me...

Maybe better to ask at Lost Marble forums

  thank you it was under tutorials  sorry http://anime.smithmicro.com/tutorials/as9/pro/poser-3d-import.html

I was wondering this myself - I have AS Pro 8 - look slike it's worth upgrading.  Thanks for posting the tutorial link!

Quote - Here it is applied to a poser spiral prop, surrounding a cylinder.

Tht is sweet - I can find a million uses for this! Thanks a TON!!!

Wow, thanks!  Bookmarked my shopping list for the next 4 months (heh).

Much appreciated!

Glad I saw this thread - I jus bought the fancy coffin and would have frustrated myself to death!  I'll fix the CR2s tonight.

Transmaps kill DS performance in my experience, and even though DS 4.6 is faster for me, a thick lush hair and 3Delight just grinds down to a snails pace.

I bame the render engine, no idea why 3Delight is so slow with transmaps.  Ugh.

There goes $200.  Le sigh.

Worth it for the renderer improvements and Bullet physics alone.

SM knocked this one out of the park!

I run Poser on my Lenovo i5 system and just the HD3000 graphics - it works "acceptably" with the following caveats:

• The 15.6 inch screen makes reading menus etc. difficult

• I have a three-fan laptop coooer under it, otherwise like has been said the sucker will try to heat the room

• It's maxed out at 8GB, I recommend something more expandable

• Use an external mouse, otherwise yu're going to live in the penthouse of Hotel 
  Frustration (trackpads and 3D are a bad combination) 

Best of luck!
