Purchases Tab

The Purchases tab in the library displays a list of content that is included with Poser, or purchased from your Renderosity store account, or content that is installed with Poser.

The Purchases tab.

As content files are downloaded, they will be temporarily stored in your user Downloads folder. After the download completes successfully the zip files will be removed.

Options are as follows:

• Filter purchases: Enter text in this field to display files that contain the word(s) in your filter.
• Install All: Installs all content, including gifts that you received under your Renderosity account.

If your Renderosity account has a large number of purchases, we recommend that you use the Install button for each item you want to install. Otherwise all purchases in your Renderosity account will be installed.

• Uninstall All: Uninstalls all content, including gifts that you received under your Renderosity account.
• Check for New Purchases: Click this button if you have purchased new items from Renderosity since you opened Poser. This allows you to see new purchases in the library without restarting Poser.
• Logout: (Renderosity content only) Click to log out of your Renderosity account.

Installing from the Purchases Tab

To install purchases from the Purchases tab, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Library to the Purchases tab.
2. Choose the radio button for the type of content you want to install:

• Included: Displays a list of zip files that are included with the Poser installation. Click the Install button next to each item to install one item at a time. After installing, you can reinstall the content at any time by clicking Reinstall.
• Renderosity: When selected, you will first be prompted to log in to your Renderosity account. After logging in, the products that you have purchased from Renderosity will be displayed in the pane. Click the Install button for each item you want to install. The product will be downloaded and installed into the Poser 12 Content > Purchases library.

If you prefer to install your Renderosity purchases to another location, log into your Renderosity account through your Web browser and download the Zip files to a location of your choice. Then follow the instructions mentioned in Installing Content from a Zip Archive.

• PoserSoftware: Displays a list of files that you purchased from PoserSoftware.com. You will be prompted to log in to the site before downloading.

After the ZIP files are properly installed, the ZIP files will be removed from the Poser Downloads folders shown above. The installed content can be found in the Poser 12 Content, Purchases, or Included folders in your Poser 12 Content Library.

1. If the ZIP files contain content that does not install into a typical library hierarchy location (such as templates or other content that does not fall into standard library folders), Poser will inform you that the zip files were unable to automatically install the content. The ZIP files will remain in the Poser Downloads folders mentioned in the preceding step. Click the Manually Install button and follow the steps to install the content in the location that you specify.
