Hello,

 

I'm trying to develop a way to manage my 3D content in the long run, actually it's not that much for now, but this will change.

I'm searching for an external solution on the one hand database driven and on the other one independent of Poser and DAZ Studio.

Do you know of any such solution?

I've found at ContentParadise so far PzDB 1.2? It's a content database driven by Microsoft Access Database Engine. The new version 1.2 should work with all 3D related content, not like the old version 1.1 which was only for Poser. Here's an excerpt from their product description:
"PzDB helps you to find the exact 3D content you are looking for as quickly and easily as possible, and it works. PzDB indexes your entire Poser Library (or any other folders you wish) and cross-references all the related content, automatically creating Groups of content and then provides an easy-to-use browsable and searchable database that can be integrated with Poser and used to replace the Standard Poser Library Palette entirely."

Sounds very good - when it really works like that.

Does anybody of you ever tried that application? I'd appreciate it very much, when you're about to share your experience?

Perhaps I'll try the 60-days trial. Is it worth and when it's I'll tell you what I've experienced.

Thanks in advance.
