"Be Hero to Yourself" -- Peter Tork

Not exactly a bug, but i clearly saw Alyson and Pauline installing, saw their names come up in the file spam, and i can't find them anywhere lol. Where are those figures? This is Pro 11

(1) The search function is horrible. And I do mean horrible, as in it barely works. I have a couple of small runtimes, nothing like the large ones I've seen other people complaining about, and still the search function can barely find anything. It takes forever to list the older items that I installed under Poser 9. And It certainly can't find anything I've newly installed. Which brings me to the second problem.

(2) The installer. I'm beginning to wonder if it's installing anything. I've installed the same zip files repeatedly. Finally, I finally some elements of the package ... all in the oddest places ... places that the program itself cannot seem to find.

What gives?

Hmmm. In People, Alyson should be the top of the list while Pauline is under Kate 2.

"Be Hero to Yourself" -- Peter Tork

1. I have noticed that when using the graph palette and you "control right or left click" to make adjustments to an animation that the scroll does not work all the time.
2. Also I have trouble sometimes with the library not showing thumbnails on first opening.
3. The DSON support for G2 characters is unpredictable for opening existing saved characters in the library.(This may be a DAZ support problem) Cheers

I used a text editor to change all the "forcelimits 1" to "forcelimits 0" inside a figure .cr2 that I imported from Daz Studio and I can confirm that it doesnt work correctly in Poser 11 pro, especially the controls that involve moving more than one body part at the same time like the "Neck-Head Bend" control, Poser Pro 2014 ignores the limits with force set to 0 but Poser 11 keeps obeying the upper and lower limit and the "Force limits" checkbox in the dial settings is greyed out.

1. I have the same problem with the library not showing thumbnails intermittently. The vertical bar that you can slide to the left to reveal the thumbnails gets pushed all the way to the right sometimes, hiding the thumbnails. Sometimes it's when the program is launched and sometimes it's when the library is revealed again.

2. Some clothed figures that were created in Poser Pro 2014 load with clothing items that don't show in Poser 11 Pro. I have one character whose tennis shoes don't show in preview or when rendered. The properties tab shows it as visible and the textures show up on the material room as 100% visible but you can't see the shoes. Another figure is wearing an army commando type vest with buckles and canteens and pockets, etc. Everything shows except the straps of the vest.

3. Where are the file counts for the folders? Was that feature removed? I really found it handy.

The Library malfunctioned after a while. None of the sub-folders would open. The materials display (in Mat room) became all stretched and distorted, totally illegible. I shall set this unusable version aside and go back to PP2014 until SR1 is released. It's sad because it seemed to work fine for a couple of hours.

I'm posting a few here for the SM team to see that are farther down the list ...

"Be Hero to Yourself" -- Peter Tork

I don't know what this means, but at least the log tells me that my render failed. Yup. what.... is...this...

19:39:32 - SuperFly: Start rendering on device GeForce GTX 760 (192-bit). 19:39:40 - Warning: Error Rendering in SuperFly. 19:39:40 - SuperFly: CUDA error: Launch failed in cuCtxSynchronize(), return code 719

Eternal Hobbyist

 

For what it's worth, I tried rendering with the Intel processor ( not my nVidia GPU) and the render completed without problem. If I use the nVidia processor, I get a CUDA crash.

Eternal Hobbyist

 

Someone has posted a temporary workaround for crashing renders - see the "Official Poser Forums" over at RuntimeDNA. I expect Smith Micro and perhaps nVidia (in my case) will sort something out; many crash reports being sent back to home base.

Eternal Hobbyist

 

I have a Dell PC i7 with a Nvidia GTX260 graphics card. Running Windows 10. When I start the render process in Firefly or SF the system crashes everytime about 5 seconds into the render. Hope this can be fixed soon. Unless someone has a idea of what is causing this crash.

Anyone else having problems with the interface not remembering Scene window size when switching between rooms?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consider me insane if you wish, but is your reality any better?

Newly created Thumbnails in the library are very blurry, fuzzy, and hard to see. I used to create higher size and rendered thumbnails and get nice looking thumbnails to replace the poser created ones and they would show up in the preview window larger and better looking. Poser 11 does not change the size and the thumbnails look like crap.

You can change the thumbnail sizes by clicking on the options ( ... ) at the bottom of the library. Then adjusting the sliders on the Tree/List/Details tabs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consider me insane if you wish, but is your reality any better?

Thanks I discovered this after I posted. The self created ones show up okay with the thumbnail size (they are higher rez). But if you leave the image size control in max the ones created and saved in poser look like crap. So you have to keep manually changing the image size when you browsing your folder. In Poser 2014 the images automactically changed according to the size of the image and the max picture size was much larger. I am starting to find all kinds issues with the library which I have to close then reopen Poser to clear & refresh. I will be posting them as I continue.

Have you considered that maybe 'reality' is Insane!

I second what SuSoleil said about the search function, currently it just does not function properly. I have found quite a few items in my library that the search function cannot find even when they are side by side. What I really miss though, is the "locate" function in the PP2014 search results.

There is something wrong with HDR-files when you close and reopen Poserpro11. Yesterday I made a render with great results. Today I opened the file again and the results were horrible. Reloading the HDR-file in the environment dome fixed the problem.

When you are in superfly mode, preview is white, which is known, but when I have a cloth with a firefly shader, it doesn't somehow aligh with the figure and the figure pokes through the cloth (a dress in this case).

And I'm getting completely nuts about the library, I have to rekick over and over again.

-How can you improve things when you don't make mistakes?

When I click on a material to assign to a model I get this message: "Exception in Reality::DataModel::updateMaterial(Tongue,Pauline) => 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'ReScene_hasObject' " - even though I have not tried to install Reality in Pro11 so don't know why it is calling it up.

I have Poser Pro Gamedev and I can truly and honestly say it is the biggest pile of sh!t I have ever seen. It crashes more than a drunken driver on PCP. I have one setup here with one character and a few cloths on it, some polygons removed and now I'm trying to combine it to one figure and that damn thing crashes every time. I spend 500$ on it specifically for the game dev features and now it is unusable. The unseen polygon removal function is a joke, it barely recognizes any, you have to do that work manually anyway and when you run it automatically it crashes half of the time. The only thing that works is the polygon reducer, but when you have a piece of clothing with useless clusters of polygons, say buttons, you can't tell it to treat them moreaggressively. Instead it spreads the reduction over the whole mesh and booom, you get a unusable piece of cloth with some nice buttons.

Seriously, if I had any hope of success, I would sue them to give me my money back, but I know it's useless.

You wonder why there is no time limited tryout for Poser? Well there you have it. Anybody who could tryout this piece of BS would never buy it.

I'm not even mad because of the money alone, but because I build my whole artpipeline on their promise and now I'm stuck with a piece of bugware that doesn't do what it promised.

Suddenly getting a "this page cannot be displayed" on the Library window. I am (sort of obviously) connected to the internet. Using Win 10 and firefox with Edge installed but not my default browser. I tried a reboot to no effect.

Two relatively small problems with Poser Pro 11 that I have encountered:

1. In the Library, in the Tree tab, the slider to adjust the size of thumbnails works, but Poser doesn't "remember" the setting from session to session, so I have to reset thumbnail sizes for every folder every time. Mildly annoying.

2. There used to be a helpful little "loading" indicator when you were loading a pose or a figure or whatever...it seems to be gone. I found it useful and miss it.

I am sorry I upgraded to Poser Pro 11 so soon. I can't tell you what problems I might have because I can't get the Library to load more than one or two items before it shows no content. I think I have discovered that if I load one or two content items and save the file, usually I can reopen it and add one or two more items. Not very helpful. Between Windows 10 problems (finally solved) and Poser problems, my image making has been seriously curtailed.

I am completely at a loss with Library too - I really cannot get any response - same issues as in quote. I cannot get any constructive work done. I need to revert to Game developer - this library function just does not work. I have messed with IE version installs etc. NOTHING!! As usual no response trfom Smith Micro.

Importing FBX created with Carrara ends in a jumbled mess in Poser 11

Boni, does anyone at Smith Micro actually read what we are recording here? SuSoleil, bwldrd, Peter Pauze and I have posted problems with Poser 11's library thumbnails and horribly dumb "search" function. Update 1 has been produced by SM and I installed it but all these old problems still remain.
It is really sad to have to say that Poser 10/Pro 2014's library/search is superior to this one.

Notice did a search Poser 11 and nothing came up. Did same search Poser2014 np. Due hope search engine is improved. Right now I hardly use it and I know one cannot get their money back. Also what I miss is having the library as external window...Makes the whole window less crowded..

Any news when this will be done???

Win10  Poser 2014/Poser 11 Daz3D

I think that I will leave Poser 11 until the bugs have been cleared up. Currently I have Poser 10 Home.

I have an issue with external Runtimes, the library folders are not in alphabetical order, they appear to be in the order in which the folder was created, I contacted SM and they said hopefully it will be in the next update. I hope so because it has extended the workflow having to look at every folder to find what I need.

You might as well PAY attention, because you can't afford FREE speech

This is probably a design consideration rather than a bug, but it sure bugs me. :)

Cancelling a SuperFly Progressive Refinement render part way through a sample gives a final render with some completed buckets from the previous sample and some from the interrupted sample. This can give very obvious bucket boundary artifacts (especially in PNGs, not quite so obvious in JPGs), and the whole render is useless. The final render image really ought not to be updated with the partially-complete sample.

It's possible to avoid this by keeping an eye on the bucket count and cancelling the render at the exact point at which it starts a new sample - preferably just before rather than just after, since the new sample buckets will be dead centre of the render. The scene can be framed such that any incomplete buckets at the outside can be cropped.

This is on Pro 11, Mac OS X version.

Textures do not show for item in Library...Had contacted a vendor and he said this is a Poser 11 bug..We all know the search engine does not work at all. Only thing it likes to do in index forever..

Win10  Poser 2014/Poser 11 Daz3D

I don't know if anyone else is getting this, but if you select "file - new" to start a new scene a pop up appears with "Exception in objectsDeleted()cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects", this happens every time, my Poser 11Pro has the latest update and has had this issue from day of release, has anyone else seen this?

SupportRequest: I cannot complete a Superfly Render

I am running Windows 7 64bit, nVidia 980ti 4790K with the latest drivers.

I get about 3/4 through a superfly render then I get a "Video driver has stopped" error message. Then when I close the Poser11 window, I get an OpenGL error message. (This may be because the video driver has reset)

I have set the tdrDelay variable to 60 in the registry and added a tdrLevel of 3 to the same registry area.

I have tried earlier video drivers, swapped my RAM and rolled back to a GTX780ti. All with the same error.

It happens when the render gets to a complex area and it takes several seconds for the current bucket to appear. Straight after it appears, the driver crashes.

Solution to the Superfly problem above,

Add a DWORD variable named "TdrLevel" to the registry with a value of 0. This turns off TDR.(TimeOut Detection and Recovery)

I have a new problem that popped up after I installed the latest P11 update - I keep getting error messages after I start Poser 11 that say that "such and such" a file does not exist - referring to a previously installed item in an external runtime (on an external hard drive).

Something different (different item I mean) each time I boot P11 up in the error message. I can't keep track of them all or follow up to see why it is not seeing the files.

I run poser on a mid-2010 iMac. Never had this problem with P11 before...

Reference post @4249123 above - of course, this only happens when Branched Path Tracing and Progressive Refinement are used together.

The manual tells us to switch Branched Path Tracing off when using Progressive Refinement, so I guess this can't really be called a bug. For some tasks I'll continue to use both together, but I think this issue can be ignored.

The Poser library is a problem. I no longer get the number of files in a folder and searching is not as accurate or as fast as it was.

I tried opening the library in a shockwave file after Poser launched, but now I get the numbers, but can't search at all.

How do I fix the "RuntimeError: Bad magic number in .pyc file" when I try to load an older material?

Win10  Poser 2014/Poser 11 Daz3D

Ok now I have a funny one: not only does the library not work normally (I have to run it through my browser!) but I can't display the renders. After I alunch a render, the preview window takes focus instantly and the rendezr tab can't be accessed. Any ideas?

I really hating PP11, the library is one huge problem. First it took me 2 days of searching the forums to get the thing working, otherwise it just kept eternally loading. After I got that working, found the search function was really bad. (Did anyone at SM QA this thing?) Among the MANY problems, while its nice the search engine wants to complete the name your typing. It becomes a problem if its a odd name, then half the time it keeps trying to change the search name to something else. Another problem, I can type only half of the upper-case symbols. Case in point, tried to type S&W for search. Except, the & symbol won't type, again, testing the upper-case symbols, found half won't type.

The search also brings EVERYTHING up, in PP14, I would type EL CID, the one file with that name would come up in the search. In PP11, EVERYTHING that has a EL anywhere in its name came up...Got around that by just searching for CID. However, this alone shows that PP11 search is a step backwards from PP14.

I also enjoyed in PP14, the ability to open the folder I was searching for in the search box. In PP11, it shows a broken folder icon, and I have to use locate to open the folder in the category window. And there is just opens the category it's in, I have to search the category to find the file that I searched for in the first place. Another step backwards from PP14, which allowed the searched for file to be opened in the search window. Allowing me to use the folder there, while at times, switching back and forth between that window and the category window,

There's more, but overall, the library is a step backwards from PP14. As for the rest of it, Superfly is a POS, like many others that have complained in these forums. It renders a black screen, sometimes with a white square somewhere in the render. But, switch over to Firefly, same work, same spot, and it renders.

As with the new male figure that was not included in this package because it was not ready. I feel, that this entire program was rushed and put out before it was not ready. One my computer, I have, Poser 8, PP10, 12 and 14...I purchased PP11 rather than test is. After this experience I'll get the test version from now on. Very disappointed in PP11, and seeing DAZ pulling further ahead in this market.

P11 is not backward compatible.. P10 crashes every time I attempt to open a PZ3 saved in P11. Smith-Micro really fricked up my Poser installations. Luckily I have P10 on one computer and P11 on another. P10 was on my two computers, but the one with P11, messed up P10. Running P10 on the same one as P11 causes it to open without the Content Library. I get a blank white box and It says I need Adobe Flash... I've reinstalled Flash, without success. Reinstalled P10 without success. I've never had a Poser crash in 15 years.. I started with version 4, going through 5, 6, 7, 9 & 10... Never a crash. Now with P11, it is totally hosed. I'm not tech minded, at least not anymore. .. just an artist. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

There was an update just this week to both P11 and a content update to version 11.03.32055. It lists library fixes as well as some content fixes.

The dust settled, thinking "what a fine home, at least for now" not realizing that doom would soon be coming in the form of a vacuum cleaner.

Wow, I wish I had never downloaded Poser 11... I can no longer access my other poser runtimes in a usable manner... I have Poser 10 on my C drive as well as poser 8 ... I could click there descktop icons in the past and get them to load properly. Now when I load poser 10 it tells me I cannot load its library , that I need to download the lastest flash player.. I have done this and it makes no difference .. I have rebooted and get the same message... This is a disaster !!! I have linked runtimes going back to poser 4 with thousands of dollars of content that I can no longer access... I am going to uninstall poser 11 and see if it works again .

It didnt work ! I have a hard copy of Poser 10 ...Will a uninstall / reinstall work ????

I contacted Smith Micro .. They replied on a possible fix. It involves IE 11 which I do have but never use... I use Google Chrome and Firefox ... How could something in IE 11 effect my old poser programs ? What a mess !

Poser 8 and 10 Libraries use part of IE to run.

I keep getting download error every time I try to download with the download manager both a content update and a Poser 11 update. Any ideas or should I contact support?

Why, after installing this 3rd update to PP-11, is PP-11 suddenly running FIVE programs, just to start up? 3 of which are CHROMIUM. They also total near half a gig. For an empty scene with Library open. And constantly "Indexing In Progress". Why? What IS this crap? Why? There wasn't a reason for it a month before the update, why now?

I have a new problem that popped up after I installed the latest P11 update - I keep getting error messages after I start Poser 11 that say that "such and such" a file does not exist - referring to a previously installed item in an external runtime (on an external hard drive).

Something different (different item I mean) each time I boot P11 up in the error message. I can't keep track of them all or follow up to see why it is not seeing the files.

I run poser on a mid-2010 iMac. Never had this problem with P11 before...

I am also running Poser Pro 11 on a mid-2010 iMac

I get the same error message - usually repeat messages about the same installed product/runtimes. I kept notes and reinstalled those product/runtimes and still get the same error messages.

I also have problems at startup with no library showing up for as long as 10 minutes, and sometimes not at all.

Also, when I add new external runtimes, it will add the first one, but if I try to add another one, the library palette goes blank. When I try to shut down P11 Pro to restart after adding a new runtime, it hangs up and I have to force quit.

I have installed every upgrade and update, and it seems to get a little worse every time.

IMHO, I think SM needs to rethink their entire Poser library setup.

Perhaps they should stop using us as PAYING beta testers.

Someone humor an old man; what is a "QUAD" as pertains to current mesh modeling? Clearly it isn't a polygon.

Oh wow, I'm glad I read this thread. Ever since Poser has went with their "New" type of library thousands have had issues. I ALMOST bought the upgrade but won't ever do that until Poser decides to simplify their library back to what it was or gives us the option to. DAZ Studio still works that way and I guess I will have to convert to them even though I would rather have Poser.

HEY PEOPLE, I want to 'revert' Poser Pro 11 to SR2. How do we do this?

Please let us know when you figure out how to revert back to PP 11 SR2. I have not even been able to get Poser 11 to boot/open ever since the 11.0.3.32055 Update. I HAVE REINSTALLED IT SEVERAL TIMES - even with changing the "existing preference files" as one blog suggested - with no luck! and yes, I have managed all the firewall and virus protection setting accordingly - still no luck! I even attempted to revert my PC back to 2 weeks before the update - but then it stopped half way through the revert-refresh process and then no longer had a record/image of any earlier revert files before the very moment that I had installed the PP-11.0.3.32055 Update...as if this 11.0.3.32055 update has hijacked my PC! I have adored using Poser up until now & believed it was well worth the price tag, but I'm now beginning to understand why so many Poser users are switching over to DAZ and just buying all the add-on tools to make it as usable as Poser...it's simple really - DAZ DOESN'T CRASH!!!

My understanding of "QUAD" is a Quadruped - or four legged (animal) mesh/model. Not sure if that answered your question or not - best of luck!

current updates have yet to fix poser remembering that I have changed the thumbnail sizes in the library. very annoying that I have to keep making them larger from the smallest setting.... does anyone know in which file the thumbnail size is stored so I can alter it.

Getting old and still making "art" without soiling myself, now that's success.

Done some digging, and altered the settings related to the thumbnail size in the library, edited the LibraryState.xml but poser ignore that, and if you set it to read only poser doesn't even check this file on first load up, but only access it on exit, which says to me that poser has the thumbnail sizes stored elsewhere. Is anyone else still having this problem?

Getting old and still making "art" without soiling myself, now that's success.

Ever since the last update whenever I try to fit clothing (selecting shoulder and for example on the clothing) it causes the whole character to take on the dialed morph as well (example: Dial heavy on the shoulder whole character goes heavy. Not the area of the clothing but everything). It's annoying and yes I can just use the morph brush but it shouldn't happen at all.

I dutifully installed the new updates to Poser Pro 2011 on a mid-2010 iMac...

Now, I have no external runtimes (not even Daz).

I did what I have learned to do the hard way, and saved a libraryprefs file, but when I copy that to the proper folder (hidden on the Mac), when I start Poser it automatically overwrites the file to the default, just showing Poser 11 Content and Downloads.

To top it off, I go to Smith Micros support page, and they tell me that due to changes, I need to "recreate" my support account and "click here" to receive an email with instructions. I do that, enter my email address, but no email ever comes.

So, I can't even tell them about the issues I am experiencing...

Anyone from Smith Micro read these posts?

I was finally able to get SM's website to let me "recreate" my customer file. I immediately put a ticket in on the 24th. The support person is a bit more than rude.

It is now the 27th and I still do not have a response other than them asking for all of my system information.

No indication of a solution or that they are even researching it.

Just silence.

I am dead in the water with no access to any of my content.

Thanks heaps for all of these comments etc. It's certainly made me glad I never purchased Poser11. I have 2014 and Game version. Will stick with this for a bit longer I think. Thanks again.

It seems poser 11 saves the new thumb size BUT never reads that file back in. The tech support hinted that poser could be reading that xml from a different location so where it wrote it is not where it reads it from.

Ah, that makes sense. It's so annoying, TBH. What also irks me is, that, if you have the Library floating, you cannot minimise it (WIN version) or have it in the back. It always stays on top.

(1) The search function is horrible. And I do mean horrible, as in it barely works. I have a couple of small runtimes, nothing like the large ones I've seen other people complaining about, and still the search function can barely find anything. It takes forever to list the older items that I installed under Poser 9. And It certainly can't find anything I've newly installed. Which brings me to the second problem.

(2) The installer. I'm beginning to wonder if it's installing anything. I've installed the same zip files repeatedly. Finally, I finally some elements of the package ... all in the oddest places ... places that the program itself cannot seem to find.

What gives?

Agree...Still waiting for the search engine to work properly...Don't use Poser Pro 11 as don't have the patience

This weekend all of the content in my libraries just disappeared. The only thing left are the Poser 11 files. I tried reinstalling them yesterday but today when I opened the program... again... everything gone. Please someone tell me how to access my libraries from my hard drive instead of from the cloud. Is this happening to anyone else?

having trouble loading any genesis 2 female into poser 11 - this is what I get! gf2 problem.jpg

the jaw always appears like this??? also deleting the figure crashes poser 11??

The new SR 5 brings trouble when rendering e. g. M4's Gens in Superfly:

"Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!"

Since installing the latest updater, any figure with subsurface scattering has a different "tint" for face/neck/head than for the rest of the body. Rendered, it looks like a bad movie makeup job... Anyone else experiencing this?

BTW - the recent update did fix about 80% of my external runtimes problem. Yea!

SR5 - tools malfunction.

I have had serious cloth room issues after the latest update - the cloth sim has stopped working. After completing the simulation, (I am watching during the simulation to make sure it works fine), the screen will flash quickly and the simulation resets as if it has never happened.

Also, I am experiencing crashes - sometimes after I do have a working simulation and I remove the .obj that is being tested with a new version, saved out from the same program with the same settings, P11 will crash completely.

Starting a new file will bring me back to situation #1. Testing with old things that have always worked, they work sometimes as normal and sometimes I get the simulation reset. This is after restarting the program in between. It seems completely random, but also getting worse.

This is quite worrying and has never happened before, although I have seen people mentioning this issue on the web a while ago.

Is there any way I can reset my installation to an earlier version? Going to try a reinstall and report back, but it will be the latest version.

Dectivate Poser; remove from drive; reinstall. Go to your documents folder for the SmithMicroDownloadManager folder which contains downloads; select the last good one (11.0.4.32600) and install. This worked for me.

iMac Retina seems to have the problem I mentioned - I installed Poser 11 on an old MacBook and upgraded it with SR5. Poser is very sluggish on the MacBook (which is 2009) but the selection tools all work. After several tries deinstalling and reinstalling and checking the results it seems to me that the problems are related to Poser and the iMac Retina. I'll post this on the SM forum also.

A_Sunbeam: Thank you so much! I will definitely try this if my regular reinstall doesn't fix things.

Meanwhile I jumped back to PP2104 for my current project. No rest for the wicked... ;)

I just found a minor glitch with Group Editor in Poser 11 Pro, "Hide other objects" works as it is supposed to do but un-checking it only brings back the other parts of the figure, everything else in the scene has to be brought back into view via the Hierarchy Editor. I found this out in a scene with Paul dressed in his Business Suit, Shirt and Tie and I was trying to do something to counteract the frankly shoddy modelling of the shirt's collar.

I just bought a new computer and it has windows 10 installed on it. I had no choice but to buy a newer version of poser because my 08 poser just would not work on this dang computer. So now I get this poser 11 and I am having nothing but nightmares with poser 11. My libraries are not showing up. I have a ton of content I have purchased from Renderosity and Daz but I can't get any of these files to show up. I can't figure out where to put the files manually either because all that has changed up. Poser 8 was a lot more user friendly. I am so frustrated I can't see straight. I have tried the option where you can install your content with the zip archive, and the content will install but I have to restart the program for my items to show up on the library but, when I try to use it I get different error messages and then my library disappears. I tried unzipping the items and putting everything individually into the different folders but they have changed up the folders so that it is hard to figure out where to put all my characters, mats, shaders etc. Has anyone figured this program out? I am so lost it isn't even funny anymore. Any help would be great.

The runtime structure for Poser hasn't changed. It's still

There should also be a texture folder there in the runtime folder. I just don't have it because I only use that runtime for scenes.

As far as where cr2s etc. go, they can go in any folder under the library. I think it was like that in poser 8. But you can put them how you had them in eight. A few things to keep in mind, don't put the runtimes in the program files folder. Windows doesn't like it. Don't forget to add your new runtime to the library. And check for updates. The library had a bit of trouble early on.

Apparently P11's Firfely engine is NOT the same from PP2014. Rendering with the same settings with indirect light creates artifacts in P11 that doesn't appear on PP2014.

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem with pro11 SR5 but when adding custom made morphs from obj's to various body parts, then setting their values to 1 and then making a full body morph, and then resetting the individual body part morphs back to 0 doesn't keep the full body morph at 0, instead if you change the bodymorph to 1 its value in the individual morphs is 2 and not 1 like it should be(even though the body morph is 0 the individual morphs have a greyed out 1 above the 0 I have set, meaning something ghostly is setting it to 1), I have had to resort to loading up poser pro14 to correctly put the morphs/bodymorph in then save and re-open pro11 for the clothing morphs to work with the correct values.

Getting old and still making "art" without soiling myself, now that's success.

Another glitch in the Group Tool, in "Draw" mode the cursor disappears when subtracting, works fine for adding

I've been deciding whether to upgrade and all of these bugs rather scare me. Did SM fix everything to everyone's satisfaction?

With the library search in Poser Pro 11.How come it only gives a thumbnail of what I am looking for? It does not show what runtime or where the item is located after searching! Cheers

Bug : Using the Zero Figure In the Figure menu removes V4 Morphs. Also had missing Library after installing DSON importer. Shut down and Restarted Poser got me back my libraries though they disappear for a bit than suddenly appear. I do have a large runtime.

Poser Pro 11. Latest Updates Installed

When is the next update due out?

Old scenes suddenly have turned to wireframe. All Morphs are removed. The scenes that I spent hours on making are absolutely destroyed. This includes scenes that I previously loaded okay. As my scripts don't work in Poser 11, I used an earlier P9 to apply a script. Later, When I loaded a DIFFERENT scene in P11 Pro, It suffered from the bugs I listed above.

I love the price but I'm wondering if I should've waited till all bugs were out.

One scene is still unrecoverable.

Update : Luckily I made a backup of the PZ3 and began making adjustments to the copy. The other scene has magically reformed and is working properly. However, I, quietrob 99% does not believe in magic. So what happened? Circumstances between the destroyed wireframe and this scene is that there was a windows update pending. All appears to be working properly since the update. I can't tell if they are related. I am making more backups and then trying out the DSON importer again. It's one of the few scripts that still work in Poser 11.

Bottomline : I will live with the bugs but Smith Micro should do more testing with older scripts. Does anyone know where Netherworks is residing these days? His Material toolbox scripts don't seem to work with Poser 11. It might be a matter of reinstalling the scripts. Poser Pro still is worth jumping into. Just because the water is cold doesn't mean you don't jump in the pool.

What do you expect for fifty bucks? Having said that...It looks like some folk are having trouble that others do not have? I have found the Poser Software to be quite stable after SR5 and even before. Maybe you folk are having hardware probs? Or something.. God knows.. But if it's any help, I've not experienced your pain...yet..so it might help to look elsewhere?

It might. But the title of this thread was about bugs for Poser 11. The powers that be asked us to report them so I am. Note the positive vibe of my reply. It's worth jumping into. What do I expect for fifty bucks? I expect everything to be working properly. Somethings that have helped clear up bugs. Windows Update. Let it update. One of my updates has fixed the scripts bug or it might just be a coincidence. One of the updates updated my video drivers. That has to be of some use.

People speak of libraries disappearing. I think Larger libraries need to be refreshed. This can be done by rebooting the program or hitting the refresh button and taking a break. Both actions have returned my sizable runtime to me. I have four runtimes hooked up and the disappearing libraries occurs when I got from one runime to another. Rebooting the program works for me.

Oh and I got Poser Pro when it was on sale here last month so I didn't get the 50 dollar price you paid.

Latest weird bug? When starting a new scene with a blank slate, the program asks for a texture. I click it through it telling it to ignore the texture and the scene starts. Rebooting the program solves the problem.

The last line of your reply...were you gloating?

I was having that problem as well and contacted SM support. This is a known problem. The workaround for the moment is to do as Save As... before running the sim. Once you have the file saved the sims work OK.

Sorry. Not gloating. Just hinting that the faults etc you are experiencing might have more to do with your hardware/ GPU driver etc. I know lots of folk are having various problems and others are not. That's all I meant. Maybe, just maybe the answers might...might.. lie elsewhere than in the Poser software? Sorry it came out like that.

Is anyone else having this problem with the morph tool?

When I make a stroke with the tool, all morphs on the geometry turn off...but just for the duration of the stroke...then they turn back on, with the additional result of the stroke. This means I can't see what the stroke is doing until I'm finished applying it. It makes the tool nearly impossible to use.

I'm running 11.0.5.32974 on Windows 7 SP1 (fully updated) and my video card is an nVidia GForce GTX 1060 with driver version 21.21.13.7586.

Any clue would be helpful as I'm tired of having to go back to Poser Pro GameDev to do all my morphing.

I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!

Poser 11 Pro I've installed Michael4 Morphs using the File-Install From ZIP Archive & Manually 20 differ ways and times and they either don't show up at all or can't find files and won't work. I had an extensive library in Poser 7 and never had these problems. Frustrating!

Have you installed the morphs in the same runtime as the figure and have you run the batch file to initialize the morphs. These are the two most common reasons why morphs don't work on gen4 figures in Poser.

what do you mean by run the batch file?

iwbasl posted at 7:13AM Wed, 21 December 2016 - #4293127

what do you mean by run the batch file?

Well that probably answers your question as to why the morphs are not working. There are .bat files with the gen4 characters and their morphs. They must be run after you install the base figure and each time you add a morph package. The old DAZ installers did this automatically but I have no experience with any recent changes to their product installation. I don't use the software. The .bat files will be in a !DAZ folder and look something like DzCreateExpFiles and will be marked with a M4 for Michael, V4 for Victoria, and so on.

I was able to use the bat file and load the morphs. A lot of things are missing like hand grasp and a lot of things don't work at all like head size. And even though I put search on shallow or none the program loads few scenes or freezes to a stop with the time indicator spinning forever. I would reload Poser 7 but my house burnt to the ground in the Gatlinburg fire along with my computers and software. I've been working on this Poser pro 11 for a couple of weeks now and it's continually problematic. Very disappointed.

I have a huge problem with Poser 11. When I go to render it gets stuck on "Starting" I can't cancel the render nor can I close the program. I have to start a task manager and end the process . When I open Poser 11 back up the render is completed or at least partially completed in the render cache.

That's been reported to SM. I think they said the next update should take care of it. The recommended workaround is to make sure you're not rendering in a separate process. It might help some.

New problem after loading latest upgrade (SR6). Heading of 'parameters' list does not change as quickly as it did; there is a distinct delay between choosing a body part from the figures list and the name of the part appearing above its parameter list. This delay increases as more characters are added to a scene.

Additional information re sluggish response:

There is a problem when selecting body parts - with, say, V4 in the scene and body selected, then selecting 'head' from the body parts list, there is a distinct delay before the word 'head' appears above its parameter list; it used to be almost instantaneous.

Going from 'body' to 'head' for example, this morning, took 3 seconds; from 'head' to 'right collar' needed 7 seconds; adding a jacket and repeating these choices increased some times, the longest delay being 11 seconds. Adding M4, clothed, to the scene also produced delays of over 10 seconds between choosing a body part and the name of that body part appearing above the parameter dials.

This needs to be fixed.

Other members of SM Forum say they have not come across this problem.

I have poser 11 (on my mac) and it has problems a lot. Sometimes it will just stop doing things, like I will try to adjust some parameters or add a material to something and nothing happens. Each time I have to close to program and restart. Sometimes it will even just crash. Like the program just turns off before I can save anything. Is anyone else having problems like this?

This is not the first time Poser has released an updated version and not fixed the bugs. Poser11 should work out of the box so to speak. No library is probably a major fault for any program like this. Someone needs to actually test this stuff before fobbing it off on the user.And no I don't want to hear about that's always been the case its just down right sloppy!

Does anyone else have a problem with Poser 11 and the fast preview mode? Everytime I try to use it, it crashes Poser....

I've had this happening with a couple of Poser scenes (.pz3) made in PP2014.

I didn't find out what was causing it, but I found a work-around:

• Load the scene in question
• Do >not make any modifications<, and best keep your hands off the mouse and other controls all the time...
• Now save the scene by a different name
• Close Poser, then restart it and load your previously saved (new) scene.

Unfortunately I didn't have neither time nor motivation to solve this glitch because the work-around was all I needed.

And, I'm no paid dev team member, so it's not >my< job to solve this, but >theirs<.
