Well it had to happen - my Runtime passed the 90 000 file mark. How many can beat this? :] Fish

I have less files but my runtime takes up more space.

DANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is mine but I just made 4 CD's of just Poser stuff about 4 days ago or it would have been bigger. I tend to move stuff around and make Cd's each week or two.

What Fish, you have only one Runtime? I have eight, can you beat that? Hehe ;-)

But look at the size....I have my files compressed now! What a difference!

I am still a "newbie" at this - at least I think so - I have had Poser 5 since April of this year - Is this usual??? When does it stop (the buying and downloading freebies bug??)and is there a cure??

Yes, it's usual. That thing will grow and grow and grow. It doesn't stop. No, there is no cure.

good gawd.........how can you even choose anything to make a picture with?? LMAO OK, well, I've only had Poser4 for about 2 months, and my Runtime is already over 3 gigs. I'm with Engel, when does it stoppp?? heheh

Ok...ya all got me beat here....but I'll match my number of unopened zips against anyone! Groan! Diane

I may total up the value of all the purchases I have made on Poser related stuff. That should be a truly frightening experience. :D

Well so far it's only Spit got me beat for number of files! As to number of Gigs, if I total up all my Poser files, zips and backups and everything, the whole lot, I'll be over 100 Gigs, easy. My Runtime is only the stuff I really feel I need to have access to. Sam - you should see how much I spent on the DAZ sale. Ouch! Maus - No, I have only one Runtime - I never saw any good reason to have more than one, actually. Do you have 8 to keep track of different things? To sort stuff? Diane - uh-uh no, I've been collecting zips since '98. We're talking tens of thousands here! But at least I have them sorted, so if I need a certain type of prop or something I can normally find it. Takes a while though. :] Fish

No cure, only placebos and stopgap measures.

And on that note, I really need to invest in a larger hard drive. I have no room left for video editing.

Yikes, I didn't realise how silly it had become!

OK, leather-guy wins.

Gee, I've had poser for 2 years, and my runtime is only 2.94G. I must be missing a bunch of stuff. Where's my credit card....?

I thought I had alot of stuff but now I know I don't mine is less than 4GB. You all must have huge Harddisks!

42 gigs!!! Sheeeeeeeeeeet! Wow. It doesn't matter how big the harddisk is. It fills up just the same whether it's 14 gigs or 120. :( Takes about the same time too. LOL It's like chickens. They eat the same percentage of the food in front of them, whether it's a lotta food or only a little. ;-)

Hey no cheating!! you're not spose to save your PZ3 files in your runtimes.

hmmm..considering I do Poser 4 on a machine with a 6 gig drive, and Poser 3 with a machine with a 40 gig drive, I'm out of the running (gotta wonder about my priorities..;)
However, I'm about to burn CD 62 of downloads, about..oh..say 2/3rds Poser, quick check..about 11,300 in the database so far, carry the 2...hah? only works out to 12.4 gig..of course, that's all zipped, so call it 24 gig unzipped, to be charitable. (aside from Vickie Lo-res, and Odeathoflife's guitar, that's all I have in my runtime in Poser..que lastima..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit

anahl nathrak uth vas betude doth yel dyenvey..;)

I'm about on par with Engel47. I have 11 runtimes. Altogether, all my runtimes combined,are 8.54G. I like to keep individual runtimes small, plus it helps me organize things easier. Now this is just the ones I have on my computer. I have 13 other unique vendor runtimes on 9 cd's and God knows how many CD's with just back up of files I've either purchased or gotten in freestuff. And I got Poser 5 around Christmas last year :) sigh

not too bad once I got rid of a lot of crap once installing poser 5, it was up past 20 gig's though, I also have about 12 cd's full of rosity freebees and about 3 with daz freebees. There are also no scene files in there I save those in my documents.

Fish, I have Poser 5 and recently began to create different Runtimes, this way I can organize everything much better and the single runtimes are smaller in size and Poser loads faster this way. And then I cleaned house recently with PUN and kicked a lot of stuff I've never used out of my old P4 runtime.

Bleh and I thought I had a pretty big Runtime :o(

Holy toledo batman!! :0 lol I was thinking mine was bad at 2.8 gb's and I to was wondering when it would stop. Starting to think I need a new comp so I can use this one for only poser with what I have alone, and you say it just gets worse!!! Yikes............;)

JV, I store my PZ3's in another directory and on another drive. The biggest part of my Runtime directory is the texture directory and much of that is that I save most of my revised textures in Tiff or Bmp format as jpg formats lose resolution with each modification. With Poser5's crankiness with textures, it's dangerous to move texture files around as I can never remember all the places any given texture may be referenced in a library file. I run CorrectReference on all new library items.

Leather-guy wins! ROFL!! Oboyoboy. Talking about harddisk space - beat this lol - I have 5 harddisks (on ONE PC) with a total capacity of wait for it - 722 MB. That's 0,72 Terabytes..... And mostly full too. There's about 135 Gigs free at the moment. But then I work with music composition, video editing, multimedia, graphics design, Poser, etc. And I'm an inveterate collector of every darn thing. One small video job can generate 40 Gigs, so you need space. The other PC has only 4 harddisks on it lol. :] Fish

Fish, I assume you meant 722 gig not mb? I have a bunch of removable hard disks, depending on what work I am doing. Each disk is at least 40 gig and the biggest is 120 gig. As to questions as to when you stop collecting files. I don't think that will happen. I have tons and tons of stuff in collections of free and bought items. I would not like to put a price on what I have spent on items or what I am likely to spend. My wife is now resigned to the idea that I spend more money on other women (victoria et al) than I do her.

damned people y'all need to come up for air .. ROFL. I thought my runtime was getting silly at a puny 2.4 GB, but I now see that isn't the case... sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! you all are some serious file savin' mofo's (pardon my french) :-) Keep rockin' /gz

Aaargh - sabre of course you're right, I meant 722 Gigs, sheesh :o( :] Fish

See Poser is into an evil plot with the creators of Hard Drives and Computers ;] I know that I am getting ready to purchase a New Computer with "two" 200GB hard drives JUST so I can work with Poser again! Oh for the days [when I started with Poser 2] that a 3 GB hard drive was big :) ladynimue

2 200 GB hard drives?!! I know what I want in Poser 6: a SEARCH function.

Yeah, a search function would be great..with natural language input. "Please find me some sexy armor for Vicky 3. I think it's somewhere in runtime"

here is my contribution to this.....i have my pz3's in several other locations and not in my runtime.....as for the textures...i have about 1/3 of them in the runtime and the rest are in a texture directory seperate from poser. now as for backed up models and such on cd's....well my last count was about 25 cd's with approximately 126 models per cd give or take.

I'm getting a new puter with 3 200G drives. I have 5 runtimes with 36G in the biggest, 20g-- in the second, just under 20 in the third-- all those darn INJ files that I have to keep in the root runtime! And under 10 in the 4 and under 5-- so far-- in the 5th. There are some duplications-- mostly hair and props, for when I only want to work out of the "Cute" runtime. Emily
