I am using Poser Pro 2014. My computer is Windows 7 (although I also have this loaded in a Windows 8.1 laptop. I have 6 gb of memory (maybe too little?) and a dedicated video card for the desktop. Laptop is just radeon graphics (decent though I think anyway)

 

So the new guy dumb questions:

 

I want to make seperate runtimes for figures I will be using. I have been advised this might be the best way to go, so should I simply make a folder called "runtime" on my desktop and install the content to it, or should I make seperate "runtime" folders for each different characters ( example one folder for V3, another for V4.2,  another for Miki4 etc.)

 

Is the desktop a good place for these, or should I make the folder in my documents?

 

Another issue. I run both Poser and Daz studio. I understand Vickie is made my Daz. I have heard there is some special installer I need (drives me crazy that I cant think of the name, something on the likes of ISDN installer for poser, something like that) and I need it to make the files compatible with poser. I'm not sure if I need a special thing like that to make morphs and things work. I have some figures, as well as morphs for body and face, just not sure best way to install them all.

Yet another dumb question. Where do I find the dials for the morphs. I load the morphs, but see no effect on the figures. I've heard there are dials to adjust for this, just not sure where they would be. Parameter dials perhaps? I tried the face room and most figures dont apply to that.

 

Sorry for the new guy questions. Still trying to get a handle on this, and finding tutorials isnt as easy for me as I'd hoped.

 

Thanks again to all for taking the time to help me fumble my way through this. It's a ton of fun, just the learning curve is a little tricky to us older people trying to get into this hobby. I'm learning slowly, but surely. Sadly not many courses on Poser at my local community college.
