Hi everyone community ! I have some problmes to use the free section. I explain : I'm under Mac, I have download several characters, same as hair, etc... But it seems(even with the indication : PC/Mac) that all the files I download for Poser was in fact just for PC( It seems like text file, and not like poser file) Do there is no other option for me, poor mac user, that to buy soft like virtua PC?? thanks and cheers :)

Hi there! No you don't need to buy any thing! Just go to the web site of MartinC (The saviour of Mac poser users) and download Maconverter (freeware) This will convert your downloads to mac files you can use. There's a whole load of other useful free utilities there too - just send him an email to say thanks.

Hello. Im not shure where youre having trouble. But Ill try to answer the problems I have encountered . First you need to get a couple of utilities, one beeing MacConverter, the other beeing some File Converters(PC to Mac, 3ds,dxf,obj) . Think youll find them all in the Poser Utillities section here. If you are having trouble with unzipping the downloads try to drag and drop the file onto StuffIt Expander. Now to the files.Almost all the files are divided into two, a caracter/prop/hair/etc file and its rsr. file. take these two files and drag n drop them onto MacConverter,these go into runtime/libraries/etc. The obj.files go into runtime/geometries/etc. They need to be converted to Mac obj.files using the utility mentioned above. NB! Geometries are case sensitive so any error message from Poser that it cant open the obj.file usually depends on three things, the obj.file is a PC-file and needs to be converted or the Obj.file is in the wrong folder/place, and here the error message tells you where it should be.Or something is spelled wrong. Hope this was of any help to you. Good luck.

the reason we PC users label the item PC/MAC is because Mac users can convert everything. (at least I think everything converts?) and vice versa.

MacConverter is just what you need. Once you convert the files, you will have to put them in the right places manually many PC zip files will automatically go to their right folder, but that won't work for you. There is a utility (MacInstaller, also on MartinC's site) that does this, but I have not used it: being a bit of a control freak I like to place files myself. Most people include a ReadMe file that will tell you where everything goes in your Runtime folder. Cr2 files 'point to' an .obj file, which needs to be exactly where the Cr2 is expecting it to be; you may need to create a folder for it, and the readme will usually tell you where. If there isn't a readme, as can happen, or the file doesn't tell you, you can still find out by being clever: open the Cr2 in a text editor (bbedit lite is good for this, as it can open very very very long text files; get it free at http://www.barebones.com. Within the first few lines you'll see where the file is expecting to find its .obj. Oblige it by putting the converted .obj where it expects, and everything will be hunky dory. MartinC's documentation is very good, so do have a look at the manuals for MacConverter. Hope this helps!

Thanks to everyone! Seems Mac converter is THE SOLUTION. So, I will download it. Ouch! I though, for a mintu, my Final Fantasy movie will be not possible! Cheers! ;))
