Since I recently finished indexing Poser 7, I thought others might want to have a visual index of all the content that comes with the program (every figure, pose, MAT, etc.), including the special edition content. It's 14.4 Mb in size, so it'll be hard for dial up users to get.Some of the indexing subdivisions won't make sense to somebody only seeing this single disk of indexed content. This index is for all my disks of Poser content. I have items, such as the P4 Women's Sweater separately categorized because I have textures for that sweater. Those textures fall under the same category so that, when I put all my indexes together, I can see all the textures for that sweater grouped in one spot
Although I doubt anyone will take me up on this offer, I can index all the content in a Poser store if I have access to it..

Hi Gagnonrich!
it looks very nice from your preview, unfortunately these days savefile is very slow for me.
Any given file downloads at 1 - 2 Kb/s (im on 8Mb DSL) so ill have to wait until this problem is solved.
Regards / Jonny

wow that's slow, I have 2Mb Cable & I'm getting download speeds of 19-25kb/s from savefile, could be something wrong with your connection or somewhere between you & savefile.
gagnon, this is a great addition to the poser catalogues I have already, thanks :D

Savefile is dead slow for me, and I am on 3 MB DSL. If you agree, gagnonrich, I will host this on my webspace too and provide a link here, it should be faster. And no commercial before download... :-)
I think its a great idea.

Bantha, go ahead and do that. As long as you post a link back here, people will still be able to get to it. If it's not too much of a drain for you, I'll post it in the ContentParadise forum. I didn't post there first because Renderosity is the only forum that I try to regularly visit. I don't look into other forums too often other than to check sales or support issues.
I haven't had much trouble with savefile and managed to upload the file even though I'm also still on dial-up. With 14 Mb, I didn't think a regular website would want to pay for that kind of heavy traffic.
Lucifer, what other catalogs are out there? Poserworld has one. I know that there are other people indexing their content for themselves. I've seen a few efforts to develop web catalogs, but they've always been trapped by the process of trying to entice merchants and users to enter data into their catalogs. I don't even know if any of those are still active.

There's 2 others that I know of & have tried. There's Poser Download Tracker & Poser Products Database, both are free but not really that user friendly, might just be me though. I'll see if I can find the links again & post them here.

what a great idea! I use a mac now and am using Aperture. Since that handles large volumes of images, i decided to import my complete runtime into that... these are just the image thumbnails for the libraries... even then there are a huge amount of images, this runtime started back in 99 so have a lot of old content :) D

As the author of the Poser Download Tracker I would be very interested in hearing what is not user friendly about it. I have version two in beta right now and if there is something that can be done with a tweak I am open to the suggestion.
More stuff than you can keep track of? Try the free Poser Download Tracker.

Sorry, I think it's more a case of me not reading the documentation properly than anything inherently wrong with the program, would it be possible to include the documentation in the download as a hlp or pdf though instead of having it online only? I'd be willing to help convert it to make up for me being a tit :D

The docs are available as a separate download at:
thelamp.100webcustomers.com/download.php
They will be staying as HTML but mainly because I plan on having them part of the 2.0 version and I can use a browser control to read them about 17 seconds faster than a .pdf and .hlp is windows only.
When 2.0 goes live I'll post a link in this thread.

Now I know what you mean by other Poser databases--you're talking about software to help catalog content. I'm using MS Word. It's a slow laborious manual effort that I've been doing for years. There's no other way to get down to a good solid deep categorized index.
Unfortunately, my catalog is for my content. That makes it of limited use for others. I haven't taken the time to go through readmes and jot down web and contact information because it would take too long and that extra bit of into isn't of use to me because I already have the content. I found out early on that the extra minute or two that takes would add hundreds of hours to provide that data for tens of thousands of items. I'll add that info when I use somebody's content so that I can provide the credit they deserve.
The Poser 7 catalog was a good one to share because anybody with the program can see all the content in a single file instead of having to search through various categories and directories in the program. I'm not sure what other categories would make sense to share.

Excellent reference work. Thanks for sharing this. Obviously I have different downloaded content, but the P4 P5 P6 & P7 entries are going to be extremely useful.

I haven't indexed P4-P5 thoroughly. P7 includes nearly all the content from P6 with the exception of the toon figures and some MATs. Going on memory, I don't think any of the content from the P5 second content disk made it to future versions of Poser.

Which is a shame because the Winter Queen is a great figure that never caught on during the V3 frenzy...!

@ gagnonrich - Thanks a lot for this! Awesome idea and great work. Very kind of you to share!
@ bantha - Thanks for hosting this!! I started with the original link and was getting a blazing fast speed of 6kb/sec! From your link I got soemthing over 135. I don't even know, it was done downloading before I finished reading the posts in this topic thus far!
