yep thats how big my runtime has grown to =P

wonder how much crap in it i accually use......

All of that is in one Runtime? How do you ever find anything?

heck, I'm only at about 16, and I have to use P3do...;)

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

yep, definitely way too much.  personally I would limit it to less than 50 MB per render.

93!?!

Well, I certainly don't feel nearly as bad about having mine reach the 25 gig mark. :D

 

Currently using Poser Pro 2012 (Display Units = feet)

Wow! Loading Poser must take you hours!

I strongly suggest that you look into multiple runtimes.

haha it is multiples, i just combined the sizes to see how much crap i got =P

DVD is 2nd best invention ever.......top is blue-ray ;)

sheepish
I have got close to that amount of GB spread out over several ( hundred ??) runtimes !

As far as managing add-on content is concerned, I've tried to keep all my Mat Pzs and textures-only type runtimes away from others with Geometries inside.  The JPG textures tend to take up the most space.

Nope, don't see my runtimes shrinking in size in the near future, either....

Now I don't feel bad:m_hide:

At least with combination of 12 runtimes I am still under 75Gigs. Before you ask how I find things I use a catalog program for my files.

I have over 60GB in one runtime.
No problems finding stuff though, I have everything organised into specific folders & subfolders.
Start up takes a couple of mins, perfect time to go make a drink!

I think the most you find yourself using is about 30GB.  mine is close to 80GB
and if I ever have to reinstall, I will probably pick and choose..

my poser runtime thats on the hd only has the basic figures / daz figures / etc with their morphs, so loading is nearly instant, then a DVD with external runtime for each catagory.

so very easy to find what i want
key is just finding a good system to sort stuff =P

Maybe it's cross talk?

Try starting a brand new scene that has absolutely nothing at all in it.

Then add A4

Then inject the Keisha morph.

Duh!  Forget that last post! I got confused by my browser tabs and posted in the wrong thread!  LOL

That one had me confused Acadia! :laugh:

93 GB? Sounds like a nice basic size to me.:wub:
Mine is 141 GB spread out over 12 Runtimes. And that's the stripped down version, it doesn't count all of the stuff on CDs or the stuff I've tossed over the years.

I have 183.74 gigs in numerous external runtimes all put into catagories for easy grabbing when I need something.  You are young, little grasshopper...in time your addiction to the world of 3D will make 93 gigs seem like drop of water. :laugh:

Beat this: 388 GB in multiple runtimes on an external drive. 24 GB Poser 6 on main drive with 10 GB Poser 7 on main drive for a grand total of 422 GB. And that's not ALL my Poser content. I think I need help, LOL!

I think we'll have to come up with a term for Poser addiction, we'll call it the 'drifterlee' effect, LOL!

Oh boy, that is some serious content you have there. I daren't even ask how much you've spent over the years. I don't think you can be helped apart from tying you to a tree so you can't get at your computer!

stevie - thank you sensei, hopefully some day i shall live up to you bows in respect

drifterlee - .................someone needs to talk to a shrink no?

Thanks for sharing this, I don't feel bad at all for having about 70GB in runtimes.

On the other hand, I haven't installed about 20Gb yet either...

I'm a cumpulsive freebie addict which accounts for a lot of it.

there's the understatement of the year :)

This is so great!!!!  As long as some one else is doing "worse", I'm innocent by default!
Who me? A Poser Addict?  Nope! And I've got the proof now :thumbupboth:

SoCal WUVVVSSSSSSSSSS drifterlee to bitses and pieces

 93 GB made me laugh out loud. Nearly 400 GB is just insane. You guys are awesome.

Used to be a musician with a really bad case G.A.S - Gear Acquisition Syndrome. It's mostly under control now though I still need one more cymbal.

To complete the set.

26.6 GB, and only age 15? I'm on my way my friends, I'm on my way.

You bastards!

Wow, now I don't feel so bad at 57GB, single runtime. All purchased, just a handful of freebies, not counting saved scene files.

No performance penalty at all for my single runtime - then again, I don't use library or collection manager in Poser (or DAZ Studio) at all. Use my own content manger to scene feed. Just point Poser 6, 7, Pro, DS to the single and done. Startup time for all Posers and DS is ultra fast (their library pointers aren't set on the content) just timed it, 12 seconds for Poser 7.

Not to get too much OT, but nyguy, what kind of manager do you use? I had to write a custom library manager in C++, but it finds anything in approx 1 second, including search results returning 70,000+ items.

So, 422GB.. The record! (so far) That is so cool!!! Do I hear 1/2 a tera.. anyone?

Heh - I started splitting mine off back when it hit 48GB. Now each major figure has its own (A3 still has some stuff in the old Runtime as well as her own, but I'm too lazy to extract and sort it yet).

Personally, I can't wait to see either proggie ported to Linux, just for the purpose of tying the runtime to a Berkeley DB, PostgreSQL, or MySQL for the penultimate instant library management. ;)

/P

Penguinisto.. exactly!  That's what I had to do to search my runtime - tied it to a backend database (but on Winblows). I am surprised that no vendor does that in their main product unless your talking team versions - which is more focused on versioning, accounting, legal, project and workflow rather than the precursor: finding stuff.

Database is the key. Can't develop Artificial Intelligece directives to your assets without it and that is where the future of 3D lies IMHO. I'm just befuddled why companies haven't broke much ground there.

I have mine heavily organized into folders with some characters having their own runtimes, but  I do clean out unused items frequently.

I have a box of nothing but 3D backup Cds it's frightening since most of the CDs the past 4-5 years are not of Free items, well gifts but not freebie offerings.

I startup Poser about 7am in the morning and head off for my coffee while everything loads up, most times I don't close the program until 10 pm, though if it lags a lot I'll shut down and restart it.

102 Gigs but that's just poser external runtimes. I'm afraid to look at all my Bryce, 3DS, OBJ, LWO, Carrara and miriads of other 3D format content!
