Thanks for your interest in Poser. You can download and evaluate the app at any time. The app includes a 21-day free trial period after which you will be prompted to purchase a license and receive your serial number. You will need this serial number to register and download the additional content included with Poser. Please protect your serial number. Usage of the serial number beyond the allowed number of seats orexcessive content downloads may temporarily disable your ability to use the software.
Yes you will need both programs. If someone buys your model for use in Poser then they will want to unzip your product file straight into Poser so that your model will appear in Posers content library. To do this you will need to have Poser to create the Poser files.
How much money can you earn? Depends on how good you are at creating models people want to buy. I have been making and selling models for use in Poser and DAZ Studio for a number of years and the key to getting a good return is to have a large catalogue of models that you sell. You would be best to sell through brokerage sites like Renderosity and Content Paradise
If you are new to modeling in general then you have a very steep learning curve ahead of you if you want to sell content for Poser, but so long as your expectations on the amount of money you expect to earn is not unrealistic then you can do well if your products are of high quality.
You are correct and do to my lack of knowledge I used the wrong file extension. That was the extension in the "pose" file. The Village People are called Bible 3d.pzs. I read a post by you today at on this topic from sometime back helping someone with this problem but don't think they ever got it to work. It could be the person was not understanding all the steps. But I totally understand. What is the best way to load the libraries poser files in the lastest Daz studio? I have tried the putting the runtime folder in the Daz runtime but never can fine that it worked. IThen I spend allot of time tring to find the product in Daz but it is not to be found. Are there two runtime folders one for Daz and another in Daz for Poser runtimes? I have never really needed to do this before so it this process is new to me. .
The Runtime from the zip needs to be merged with the existing Runtime in you content directory (e.g. the My Library folder), after which the files can be accessed via the Content Library pane in DS under Poser Formats>Content directory used>
To do that, open DS and go to Edit > Preferences, open Content tab then select Content library manager at the bottom of that tab. This will open the screen where you can configure where DS content libraries are located.
Then go to the Content Library pane (not Smart Content, which displays only content with metadata). If it's not open, use Window > Panes menu to open it. You should have an entry for "Poser Formats" at the top of the hierarchy, with the folder containing your Poser runtime listed there.
Thanks for the help, I read Richard's reply then tried it and I went into my C drive and then programs both 32 and 64 bit and found the Daz 3d and opened every file that I could. Yes I spend about an hour and ahalf and I never did find a content folder or library folder. I even checked the Daz 3D in my Documents but still nothing. I then read the Daz help manual and they give about four or five places to look and one was the script folder but still no content folder or library folder. I just downloaded or updated Daz yesterday. This is getting a little frustrating as I used to be able to find the content library folder in the past. Don't have a clue what I am doing wrong. The idea of creating a new folder as suggested will be the best way to go at this time. I will give it a try today. Thanks
I did some more checking and the only runtime files I could find via a search was in my computer under my user name then Document\Daz 3D\Studio\My Daz Connect Library\data\cloud Then I get a bunch of files with number each containing a runtime. In order to follow the steps I was given I at least need to find "the poser content diretories in DS." I will keep working on this and in the meantime hopfully someone can tell me what I am doing wrong.
If you only installed content via Connect you may not have any other Runtime directory outside the Connect folder right now. In this case you simply need to decide on a folder where you will install your poser content from now on (for example "My Library" in Documents), put your poser Runtime directly in that folder and make sure this folder is listed under Poser formats in DS. Next time you install a Poser product you will merge its Runtime with this one.
I looked in my user documents and this is my tree sturcture - Users\Allen\Documents\Daz 3D\Studio\My Daz Connect Library\data\cloud\ after this I get about 30 folders or more with numbers each number folder contains "data folder, figures folder and a runtime folder. What I am thinking that all my content has been asigned numbers. Should I install my folders here?
No, this folder is only for content installed with Connect. Connect installs each product in a separate subfolder labelled with the product ID from the store (sku), and there's a mechanism in DS to display them together based on the list of products it installed. If you put content manually there it won't work, you need to put it outside "My Daz Connect Library".
Runtime folder is the base folder for poser file structure. It contains technical folders for textures, geometry, and so on, and a "libraries" folder with the folders corresponding to the various figures, poses, props.. libraries from Poser.
When you register a folder under "poser formats", DS will look for a Runtime folder in it, recognize the Runtime as the base for poser library and ignore all other folders at the same level, considering they don't contain Poser content. It will then interpret the runtime structure to display your poser content correctly in the content library pane, for example hiding the technical folders and only diplaying the actual poser library files like cr2, pz2 and pp2.
If you are using Windows dragging a second or more runtiem into the My Library folder should merge them, so you end up with the contents of both. Macs are a bit trickier, but from your path it looks like you are using Windows.
Much of my DS content is stored in "My Daz Connect Library" folder. Each product is nested under unique folder numbers, e.g. 1_49087. When I add "My Daz Connect Library" folder to the Carrara content tab I get about 100 folders, each with their unique number, making it extremely difficult to find specific items. I deleted the library because I don't know how to search for content in Carrara. I now find the product file using the computer search engine and dig through folders to find if it is a "Poser runtime" or" Content" folder. I have assumed .pz2 files suggest "Poser Runtime" and .duf files are "Content". I then import the 1_xxxxx folder under the Carrara "Conten tab". When I select the "Content" option (when loading the file) the entire window goes white except the OK button.

DAZ Connect is super convenient, but it was created as a way to fight piracy, so only DAZ Studio can read content downloaded via DAZ Connect; it is encrypted in a way that only DS can use, so anything in the folders under "My DAZ Connect Library" cannot be used in Carrara (for static props you might be able to export them from studio as OBJ's and then import them and set them up from scratch in Carrara, but that could be a real pain for more than 1-2 items). Carrara can only see files that have been downloaded via DAZ's Install Manager or manually.
Basically you want to add the "My Library" folder to your Carrara Content tab, not the "My Daz Connect" folder. There will still be things in there that Carrara cannot read, but I'm not sure off the top of my head which DAZ Studio file types it can/can't read. If most of the content you want use in Carrara was downloaded via DAZ Connect, then you will have to redownload it using DIM or manually first. Some newer items may only be available for Connect (I don't remember how long the wait is before Connect-only items show up as available for download via other methods, but they do eventually - it's several months gap though).
Bad bots, on the other hand, are designed to mimic real human activity to push an agenda or scam. Depending on its algorithm, bad bots may post content or comments on social media, follow legitimate accounts, and even send out friend requests.
Spotting troll accounts goes beyond checking profile pictures, account names, bio information, or suspicious follower counts. However, you should check those just to be sure. The best way to find troll accounts is to examine the content shared by the account.
If you own a fake social media account and can prove to the courts that you use the account for parodies and satire, you may be able to walk away with no criminal or civil charges. However, if you use the account to hurt people or brands, you could be charged with any number of crimes, such as a hate crime, or face any number of civil penalties.
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act protects search engines and other internet service providers from liability for negative content posted on their platforms. Though many providers will voluntarily remove negative content, you may have to jump through hoops to get there.
