Poser 11.3 is ready to download from the main PoserSoftware.com downloads page.

The update includes an improved library search, auto-sync of content purchased from Renderosity, fixes for Mac's Catalina OS, and a new stand-alone male figure but at the top of the list of new features is support for the latest NVIDIA RTX (Turing architecture) GPU cards on Windows. The update is free for anyone with a license to any version of Poser 11. You can find the full release notes later today on the Poser website.

Thanks for the heads up.

For the record, installed and no problems. Kept my previous files and content directories. Opened and closed twice without any strange, weird, scary messages, so fingers crossed that it's full steam ahead.

my L'Homme stands alone shows no morphs are there any basic morphs for it?

Yep, I can second that. The update did suggest I uninstalled the existing Poser which I said yes to, installed with the 'use existing preferences checked' and all went well. It requested a system restart when complete which I did. First launch went as expected and loaded with my preferred scene, test render went fine so all I need to do is have a play with the new pieces.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.

If you install both zips, you should see basic body morphs under runtime/libraries/pose/l'homme/l'homme morphs

Went to update and my Mac Pro running Catalina 10.15.04 and this pops up:

I'm drawing a blank, but what's the method by which you re-link a runtime library? Installed the latest version (11.3 on a Mac) and I don't see any content libraries.

If you install both zips i thought it was in the PP11.3 program update ?

Update:

I had to delete and re-install 11.3 (Mac OS 10.15.4) before it finally "saw" the content library in the UI. Weird, because the content library tab was there, but empty and without a way to add any runtimes--no +/- signs in the UI. I then had a way to add my DAZ3D runtime directory, but had to reboot in order to populate my previously saved scene with my DAZ figure (V4.2). Just a little stress - whew!

OK, I'm having a problem with the downloads, and posted about it in the PP11 Technical forum here -->

I encountered some strangeness when downloading new files

Open the Library window. At the top, you'll see a plus and a negative sign. Click the plus and direct it to the runtime you want to attach.

Brilliant thank you!

So far, so good on my Win X64. Nice to finally see Cycles in the render preview. Please integrate with blender so I can send my project to Blender for enhancements and rendering. Thanks.

I don't understand this - I'm on a Mac too and the old preferences are still in the Library folder, labelled 11.... (long string of numbers), with the new downloaded prefs in the folder labelled "11". So all I do is move the old prefs into the new folder, thereby overwriting them and restoring my settings. Look in the usr/(your name)/library/application support/PoserPro and you should find the old and new prefs.

Thanks for Making Poser Great Again!

I thought that was it, but when I first installed the update, those features were disabled somehow. Had to delete and re-install to bring them back. Thanks!

I have a library for purchase item on the secondary drive already, but how do i set the preference "purchase" item to be stored in the secondary drive, and how do I delete what i loaded on my primary drive? It seems I am making a duplicate, and I was hoping the program was going to ask me where I wanted the item to be loaded. So I closed down the program to keep it from loading more stuff on my limited HD. Where is the files located for the purchase item library?

I figure out how to delete the file, but now trying to set the purchase item to be stored on the secondary HD.Can this be done?

Downloaded the 11.3 upgrade and now I have Poser 11.2.329???

I did a shadow copy back-up of my poser 11.2 first before downloaded and upgrading. everything seems to be running okay no error messages when i ran a test scene made with poser 11.2 I'll try testing out some of the dynamic clothing functions later tonight. I see there is still no .DUF file support for genesis 8 :( That be a killa improvement if there was. I do like the content library though. I don't really notice any difference in render speed or clarity improvements with my 1080ti GPU's though. the renders still look the same. were there any security updates to the new version? other wise pretty much the same as poser 11.2 for me

OK! Problem solved! Re-downloaded the upgrade and now have Poser 11.3.740. The only problem is Malwarebytes (if you are running it) raising a 'false flag' re the support files as mentioned earlier. The simple solution is to click the right-facing arrow to the right of the notice and click 'open' on the pop-up which runs the download as normal.

I'm on a Mac running High Sierra. Why does the installer not ask to save any prefs? I am comparing render speeds against 11.2 and 11.3 is slow as a snail!! I'm not even rendering shadows and I'm only using medium settings in Firefly. Looks like I might have to go back to 11.2.

The "Poser Support" exe wants to install content to my C drive. I don't want to install anything there and further clog up that partition. Why doesn't it give us the option to install elsewhere?

Do these files install OVER my existing Poser or replace it? I assume I have to download all of them from that page?

L'ultima fòrza è nella morte.

Just installed poser 11.3 but can't see L'homme in the files??

OK no worries just found it , had 2 content libraries on different drives lol.

These updates are turning into a joke. KinectCapture and PythonShell STILL don't work. "The specified module could not be found."

PythonShell comes right up for me, see screenshot. I don't know what to do with it because I am not a coder, but it DOES work. So not sure what's up with your setup.

I don't know either. Ever since the original release of P-11, it keeps telling me it can't find the modules when they're right where they're supposed to be. Of course since the Powers that be made the mistake of pulling Wardrobe Wizard out, I have no need for Python, but still, I get tired of that stupid message popping up every time.

downloaded , installed , everything opens and seems to work fine except for occasionally some of the parameter dials act a little glitchy and it takes a moment or two for the library's to switch . is that normal ?

I was concerned about PilotHigh's observation that for him 11.3 was slower. So after installing on my Mojave iMac (6 years old Intel i7-4790K CPU @ 4.0 GHz) I decided to do some comparisons. I used the same La Femme .pz3 in both. The upshot is that on my iMac 11.3 is only a tiny amount slower with FireFly and is actually faster with SuperFly.

That is a FireFly render in 11.2 took 230 seconds and in 11.3 it took 240 seconds. The equivalent SuperFly took 153 seconds in 11.2 and 140 seconds in 11.3.

I did notice that the SuperFly presets have changed so the medium setting in 11.3 takes longer than the 11.2 medium setting; so I made sure both 11.2 and 11.3 had the exact same SuperFly render settings when comparing. Btw, I think the new 11.3 render presets look to be an improvement too, having really good results with the lowest quality preset for previewing which will speed up my workflow.

Just as welcome as the SuperFly speed boost is a particular bug-fix. In 11.2 I used to get certain parts of a superFly render having artifacts, usually specular areas such as fingernails and eyes. This appears to have been resolved in 11.3

Looking forward I really hope Renderosity gives us Mac users some love and embraces Metal and supports our GPUs (internal and external).

In terms of installing 11.3 I decided to keep both on my machine so renamed the Poser 11 folder as Poser 11.2 before installing 11.3.

As has been noted, the 11.2 preferences are not simply deleted and so I was able to rename the "11_202004071811" folder in Library:Application Support: Poser Pro: back to "11" (I actually renamed "11" to "11.3" first so I could go back if necessary - but it hasn't been necessary.

Of course, after installing 11.3 I had to go and re-install EZSkin3 as it lives in the app runtime not one of my external ones. But all in all, so far I would say it's a good and worthwhile update :D

So does this update use the current nvidia drivers that will really use some of my decade old cuda hardware effectively

So is that TTFN or TANSTAAFL?

Trying to mess around and see what's going on, but it feels like my GPU is rendering slower than my CPU. And I'm running an RTX 2070 with studio driver 442.19, and an Intel i7-1065G7 coupled with 32GB of RAM. Something feels off here.

Poser11.3(Specific module: python27.dll) crashes every time in the following case in my environment:

• Trying to close Poser by File-Exit.
• Trying to delete a Genesis/G2F/G2M from a scene.
• Trying to close a scene including Genesis/G2F/G2Ms.

I'm running into an issue with Reality 4.2 - do I need to upgrade to Reality 4.3?

Poser11.3(Specific module: python27.dll) crashes every time in the following case in my environment:

It may be caused by DSON Importer....

After the clean installation of 11.3.813, python27.dll didn't crash with File-Exit. However, it crashes again after the reinstallation of DSON Importer.

It crashes when deleting a G2F from a scene, and Event Viewer shows the same code(0xc0000005) and the same offset(0x0000000000119a32).

OK Poser just told me there was an update available - The .exe file shows File Version 11.3.813.0, I'm currently on 1.3.740. What benefits from this upgrade and what files need to be downloaded? Do I need to download the content files again or just the 3 main files?

TIA

One thing I've noticed that isn't good is that there is no template for La'Femme or L'Homme for the Face room. Or I don't know what I'm talking about but not sure who's face that is I'm greeted by, Rex or someone like that? Shouldn't that have been set up properly for La'Femme and L'Homme since they are now the stars of the show?

Just read this Looks like DSON, genesis 2 and Python are no longer working together. Sucks that I have just been investing in Victoria 6 (genesis 2). And that it has already been a true headache to get that working.

Hmm, read it but I don't think that's the issue your having. The article talked about Poser 12, this is still Poser 11 with updates.

I get that too.

Just downloaded and installed 11.3.818. It still can not find the DLL modules for Python Shell or KinectCapture. Is this ever going to be addressed? I've had this problem since the original release.

Not mentioned before : my EZSkin3 has vanished from the scripts. Whatever I try to install it manually, no result.

The latest update .818 seems to be worse than previous update in terms of failing to close properly. About half the time it gets "stuck" while closing and has to be halted via the task manager.

(Again this is an impression, not a precise count.)

My python page

Just upgraded my system. Went from Windows 7 and a GTX 970 to windows 10 and an RTX 2070. Same CPU in both, an i7 hexacore. Game fps more than doubled, Blender render times went from 2.5 hrs to 40 minutes on a test scene. Loaded a scene from Poser that had taken 12 and a half hours to render and... I stopped the render after 11 and a half hours as the render was only 62% complete. How on Earth can a 2070 be seen as 2/3rds as powerful as a 970?

This has been reported in the forums several times with no solution, you could try raising it with support to see if they can help.

Cheers for that. I did briefly contemplate leaving the 970 in below the 2070, but the MSI 970 needed 2 8 pin power sockets, and my PSU only had 2 spare for the pcie slots... it was the 970 or the 2070, and every other piece of software I have benefited from the upgrade... We'll probably get an update for the 20 series just as the 30 series are released...

I have 11.3.740, which crashes whenever I try to load any large pz3 files or delete individual actors from a scene... are my files too big? My i5 only handles 16GB, which I upgraded to Corsair. No difference. Are you saying .818 doesn't resolve this issue?

Hi,

I just installed Poser 11.3 (from 11.2) to get L'Homme. Installed the main installer AND PoserSupport.exe.

Now I have neither L'Homme or La Femme in my Poser 11 Runtime.

I don't see a separate download for them. La Femme download seems to be clothing only.

How do I find them, please?

Thanks, Epi

Oh, I see. It put them into "C:UsersPublicDocumentsPoser 11 Content" (Installer offers Hobson's choice)

Despite my ACTUAL runtime being "D:3D ModelsPoserLibrariesPoser 11 Content"

Thank you very much.

Update 818 seems to be missing the textures for the P6 characters (or at least they're not included with either the Nudes or Figures zips). Actually it seems to be missing ALL textures. There's not even a textures directory in the Poser 11 Content Runtime. Clearly I am missing something, but do not know what.
