Is it possible to convert/downgrade a Poser 5 pz3-file to make it work in Poser 4?

Yes, if you load it into poser 4 and save it out again it will be a poser 4 version but material room specific settings wont be converted ( obviously ).

but it won't load because it is a Poser 5 Dokument :(

all my poser 5 loads into poser 4, it just says 'the file is a newer format than expected, poser will attemp to read it anyway', click ok and your in.

I'm not have problems, but if you save the archive created one document Poser 4.

The only way it might be a problem is if the file uses any P5 specific features, like materials, or dynamic hair.

Try renaming the .pz3 to .cr2 and put it in a figure library and click on it like loading any figure, if it still doesn`t work then there might be some problem with the pz3 file.

Also make sure you save it as a .pz3 file and not as a .pzz (compressed) file.

Compressed files should work the same way as uncompressed ones, they use gzip compression which is the same for poser 4 as for poser 5.

xantor, Poser 4 doesn't use compressed files, only Pro-Pack and Poser 5 do.

Sorry, I forgot about that. :[
