Runtime Scavenger for Poser 12

This is a Python script for Poser 12. Requires Poser 12.0.993 or later.

Ever wanted to extract contents from your Poser library and create a runtime installer for it? Maybe you want to back it up, or perhaps you have created new contents merged with the main library, and need to have its runtime extracted? The Runtime Scavenger automates that task, allowing you to choose what you want to extract, where to save it, and even Zip it up for you. Check it out HERE.


Here is a general overview of the feature set.


The operation is very simple. From your Poser library, choose a category, like Figure, Poser, Face, Hands, etc, and then locate the content folder you want. Drag and drop it over the script’s drop area. Now repeat the operation for the other library categories you want to include, and that’s it! Choose where to save it, and press the “Create Distro!” button. The default mode will create a ZIP archive containing all items from your selection. The required geometries and textures are scanned and collected automatically. It will only include the ones referenced by your selected files.


You can also extract multiple products if they are all under a common parent folder.


You also have an option to create both the runtime folder structure and the respective ZIP version in one go. To do so, use the default option, and enable the “Keep Runtime after ZIP” box at the bottom.


You can extract all, or just parts of a product. For example, you can extract only the materials by dragging only the folder from the Materials library. As usual with my scripts, it includes a dedicated button to open the PDF manual, where you can find more detailed information at any time. You decide what you want to include.
