INSTALLING Poser 7 Service Release 1
----------------------------------------------------------------

Installing Service Release 1 for Poser 7 is a very simple process that updates your existing Poser 7 application to the latest version. You must have a valid installation of Poser 7 already installed prior to installing Service Release 1.

NOTES:
- If you modified any of the content that shipped with the retail version of Poser 7, the Service Release will not overwrite these modifications and your Poser 7 figures, etc. will not be updated. In this case, e frontier recommends backing up your modified content and reinstalling Poser 7 from your original CD. Any modified application support files such as UI XML, etc. might be overwritten and should be backed up before applying the Service Release if you want to preserve the changes.
- If you haven't installed the Poser 7 Content Updater yet, please download and install it in addition to the SR1 application updater. The SR1 application updater does not contain any content updates.
- You can find further information here: http://www.e-frontier.com/article/articleview/2131/1/861/

To install Service Release 1, simply double-click the 'Poser7-SR1.exe' (Windows) or 'Poser 7 SR1' (Mac OS X) icon. The installer automatically locates your Poser 7 installation and patches the necessary files to the latest version. You can press 'No' if you'd like to browse directly to your installation folder. This installer upgrades all English versions of Poser 7 to the current version. Please do not apply this Service Release to any localized version (Japanese, French, German) of Poser 7. Doing so would damage the installation.

We attempt to create updaters that will work with existing installations as seamlessly as possible, however given that a user's Poser directory can be in varying states of organization, it is always the "safest" to apply the updater to a clean install of the application.

DOCUMENTATION ERRATA/ADDITIONS
----------------------------------------------------------------

- The Poser 7.0.0 Reference Manual contains a number of glitches that were corrected in the Poser 7.0.1 Reference Manual, which is installed by the Service Release 1 updater.


----------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN ISSUES
----------------------------------------------------------------

- Poser 7 generally runs fine under Windows Vista. There are a few issues that might require workarounds. Please refer to our Windows Vista knowledge base article for details: http://www.e-frontier.com/article/articleview/2127/1/858/

- We strongly recommend saving hair groups to the Hair library with their underlying prop. This is because hair is grown from vertices and must be associated with vertices on its underlying object in order to function correctly.

- To save hair to the Library palette, select a hair group (or its underlying prop) then click the ADD TO LIBRARY button. You will be prompted to select your desired hair subset(s). Clicking the SELECT SUBSET button opens a hierarchical display allowing you to select the hair groups that you want to save. Be sure to save the parent object!

- When saving a subset of props to the library only the currently selected object will retain its morph targets. To save morph targets on all members of the subset choose Edit->General Preferences... and uncheck "Use external binary morph targets" temporarily. Once the subset has been saved to the library, "Use external binary morph targets" may be reactivated.

- Adding a prop to the library: When adding a prop with morph targets that is parented to a figure, the prop might not retain its morph targets if Poser is set to write external binary morph targets. In case you encounter this problem, please choose Edit->General Preferences... and uncheck 'Use external binary morph targets' temporarily. Once you're done adding figure-parented props with morph targets to the library, you may reactivate 'Use external binary morph targets'.

- Texture search: In previous Poser versions, textures were occasionally specified by their file name only. Since in that case the search mechanism has to search with just the name, it will find the first texture with a matching name. Please keep your texture names unique to avoid loading the wrong texture when opening legacy scene files. Poser 7 always attempts to store an application relative path or an absolute path (whichever is appropriate) in the scene file. Also, the Poser 7 Texture Manager always displays the full path of all loaded or previously loaded textures. This will aid in determining the location of any texture file.

- Rendering in separate process: In some cases, Area Render might fail when rendering in a separate process. If you encounter this problem, please retry, render a full frame, or consider rendering internally.

- Color on the alternate diffuse channel of a root node will not preview in the document window.

- If you have difficulties using the Face room's photo matching feature due to the rotation of the head in your photos not matching the selection outlines, please consider rotating your photographs in an image editing application.

- A note on using the DivX codec when making movies: the DivX codec can only be used with standard aspect ratio (4:3).

- Some 3D file formats have restrictions in output size. In 3D Studio (.3ds), an object can consist of no more than 65,000 polygons. In Lightwave 5 (.lwo), the maximum size of a scene is 65,000 polygons. Please use the LWO2 export option if you want to export LWO files of objects larger that 65,000 polygons.

- Using the Auto Install feature in the Content room might leave temporary files behind. Please delete the files in the temp folder if you want to conserve disk space (Windows only).

- There is an incompatiblity with Unsanity's Window Shade X potentially causing an undesired Window Shade effect on Poser palettes. Please add Poser to Window Shade X' list of excluded applications if you encounter this problem (Mac OS X only).

- Library thumbnails in PNG format that contain both data and resource fork can cause instabilities. Deleting the resource fork resolves this issue (Mac OS X only).
