| Step 2: Creating External Runtimes |
|
|
|
|
|
| When you begin organizing your own external runtimes, you will put them in a place that is convenient to you. For this exercise, go to your Hard Drive’s root directory (C in the example) and create a folder called ALLRUNS. |
| Open your new folder, and create a sub-folder called "XtraRun". Note that it is called Xtra instead of Extra. This is so that later it will appear at the bottom of the list and thus be easy to find. If you prefer it at the top, use a ! or a _ in front of it. |
 |
| The XtraRun folder will be set up to contain a blank set of folders equivalent to the Poser runtime structure. Check the example picture below:
The first folder you add under XtraRun is "Runtime" Next, open Runtime and create three new sub folders as seen in the blue circle: |
 |
| Geometries
libraries textures Now open the folder called libraries and create another series of sub-folders as seen in the red circle: Camera Character Face Hair Hand Light Materials Pose Props Excellent! You now have a Sample Runtime! |
| Just a note here: Creating a sample runtime is not absolutely necessary. When you install content into your external runtimes, the correct folders will automatically be created. However, I feel that it is helpful to do it this way, because it teaches you a certain familiarity with the runtime structure. This can be very helpful when you run into misplaced files, etc. |
| Close your new sample runtime and return to ALLRUNS. Create 5 new folders within this folder, one for each category we placed in the !PzDz_Downloads folder: |

 |
| Open this XtraRun folder. You will see the sample Runtime folder just within. |
 |
| (1)Right-click and hold the Runtime folder, dragging it upward (2) to the Folder you wish to put it in. (3) then “drop” it onto the folder. A box will pop up - be sure to choose Copy Here and not Move Here. Do this with each of your Categories and they will now be transformed into External Runtimes. |
