Scene Toy Pro<\/a> is the latest December 2016 version, updated and expanded for Poser 11. It’s a vital Poser plugin but the installation instructions are very basic, just one rather vague line in a readme. Here’s what buyers will actually want to know, to get it running…<\/p>\n

Short version:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Extract and copy to C:\\Program Files\\Smith Micro\\Poser 11\\Runtime\\ and not to your usual runtime.<\/p>\n

\n

Long version:<\/strong><\/p>\n

i)<\/strong> You copy-paste-merge the extracted .ZIP file’s ..\\runtime\\<\/strong> folder into C:\\Program Files\\Smith Micro\\Poser 11\\Runtime\\ folder (i.e. not into your normal runtime). <\/p>\n

In other words, you stop at C:\\Program Files\\Smith Micro\\Poser 11\\ and then paste-merge, so that the pasted ..\\runtime\\ merges with the existing ..\\runtime\\ Note that this is a method that probably only works on Windows.<\/p>\n

ii)<\/strong> You then copy-paste the .zip file’s ..\\Runtime\\Python\\poserScripts\\ScriptsMenu\\Netherworks\\Scene Tools\\Scene Toy Pro\\+Scene Toy Pro.py<\/strong> script file into C:\\Program Files\\Smith Micro\\Poser 11\\Runtime\\Python\\poserScripts\\ScriptsMenu\\ <\/p>\n

Be sure to get right down to that final ..\\ScriptsMenu\\ folder and not just stop at the ..\\poserScripts\\ folder and think you’re there.<\/p>\n

When triggered, this launcher script +Scene Toy Pro.py<\/strong> will look in the Poser OS runtime path to find and launch the main Scene Toy Pro.py<\/strong>. This is why in step i) you had to paste into the C:\\Program Files\\ runtime, rather than your usual F:\\My-Mega-900Gb-Runtime\\Content\\Runtime (or whatever you use as your core runtime location).<\/p>\n

You’d then start the plugin via the top menu in Poser, looking for +Scene Toy Pro<\/strong> on the menu that drops down from “Scripts”. If you followed step i) correctly then you can also load it via the Netherworks folder in the same drop-down. But having such a much-used item available high in the main menu will save having to remember that “Netherworks = Scene Toy” and then flick through four nested folders to get to +Scene Toy Pro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Update, July 2021: Scene Toy Pro 2016 is no longer for sale for Poser 11, and a newer Poser 12 version has been under development since February 2021. But the 12 version is not yet released.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
