Quote - The less time consuming answers may not be the most complete.  You claim not to have time to read the manual, however you are posting questions to which the answers can be found in the manual with thorough explanation.  And in the time that forum participants respond to your question, you would have found your answer in the text.  I would recommend reading the manual along side the open Poser app to truly familiarize yourself with the program.  Then post a question in the forum if you do not comprehend a specific feature. 

Being spoon fed tidbits of information from different sources will only lead to more confusion and frustration.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can get to the parts that I am looking for in the manual, rather than going through the whole thing?

It seems complicated but I should learn better once I test out your suggestions.

Thank you very much!

Is this the only place to download Apollo Maximus?

Quote - FWIW bigglobe, there are some new videos at Content Paradise's YouTube page that show you how to install Poser and how to install content. Might be worth a look.

I tried it and Antonia works right now. I didn't know about this method so I would do it by hand. Thank you for the helpful link!

Quote - ...also definitely pick up the anime star fighter bundle freebie at Daz if you are interested in Aiko 3.

Nobody seems to know what is going on with Apollo at the moment.

Do you happen to have a link to that? I'm not very familiar with how to find stuff in these websites.

Quote - I'm a mac user also... here's the link for the mac installer archives from Daz for V3/A3/M3/H3. Works fine.

This link is not loading right now. I got this message "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to download.cnet.com" I will try it again later.

I was only able to download Angela and Antonia.

At first, I thought Angela wasn't going to work because my poser kept freezing when I would upload her and undo deleting her. She eventually unfreezes after a little while. Angela is a beautifully made character and I wouldn't mind working with her.

Antonia does not upload to my poser. I downloaded 4 .cr2 files for this character. None of them work when I double click on them in my poser library. 

I use a Mac and Poser 8. Maybe this is making some of the files incompatible. 

There are different poser characters which may be possible to download, but I am mostly looking for the main ones, particularly Victoria and Michael. Antonia and Apollo would also be useful. I have so many poses for these characters, especially the first two, so I am really going to try to get them.

That link is to a figure bundle that Daz released for free after the 4th gen figures came out.

You can get aiko in one of the free bundles at Daz.

 

Note: The M3 and V3 figures would need the morphs ++ product to change body shapes.

Wardrobe wizard may be included with your version of Poser. If you have it you could convert clothing items for the Poser figures.

This is for Windows. I use a Mac.

I tried the Apollo Max links on this website and they don't work. At first, I would click on download and the website would start counting how much I had to wait. When that time was up, it would start counting again and again. I decided to make an account on that website because I thought it would help. The counting stopped but I would get directed to the same page with no results.

If I use spotlights behind my character, it probably wouldn't look like my character is glowing. I wan't the outline of my character to glow but also the character himself/herself. 

This is another example of the type of glow that I would like to apply.

Is there a tutorial on how I can do this effectively? You guys have provided good information that will be more useful once I learn more about poser. Right now, I don't know how to take many of these actions in poser. I need more step by step instruction. I will still test out your suggestions to see if I can learn something from them. I suppose I can also find a way to add glow to my character though a photo editing program, but it might require brushwork, which often takes a considerable amount of time. 

I guess the problem is that I am not applying them to the right figures and their functions didn't seem clear. They were supposed to be poses but were named as objects, face, eyes, clothing etc.

Thank you for the many websites that you guys have provided. They appear to be very useful.

Thank you all! This is useful information.

I want to thank everyone for the suggestions. I will try them out :)

Where is the poser primitives folder located? How can I use the hires plane?
