Q: How do I use the PC installers ?
A: The .EXE installers are built for Windows based personal computers (PC) are designed to install all the various files to the proper subfolder directories in the Poser's Runtime directory.


Q: How do I install the .ZIP files on the MAC ?
A: Sanctum Art products are downloadable in .ZIP file format for the MAC users.
Please use the 'MAC Converter' available from
http://www.soft-rabbit.de./ It is located in "Mac Utilities Downloads Page." An utility to make the files "MAC" compatible. You must copy the 'contents' of the uncompressed .ZIP files directly into your Poser 4, 5 or 6 Runtime directory.

PLEASE NOTE: On some systems files will be downloaded with an ".ez" file extension. Simply rename ".ez", to ".ZIP", and continue to decompress.


Q: How would I know how many files to download ?
A: You will see it on your "Account" page. Due to the file sizes most of Sanctum Art products are in the multi-part download form. Usually, each download will not exceed 35MB.


Q: Why Sanctum Art Does not include .BUM files ?
A: Since the .BUM files are huge in size; I will not make too much of sense to include those file. We include a tutorial on "how to convert .BUMP" files into .BUM with our products.


Q: Do you sell or support files in "DS" format ?
A: No, we do not support, work with or test for "DS".


Q: Will Sanctum Art product work in "DS" ?
A: By principle, most figures designed for Poser will work in "DS" simply because "DS" is a Poser's emulator. Character files, poses should work without major problems. Older versions of "Poser" figures ("Poser 4" and "Poser Propack") that use "MAT" files might even get correct or close to correct material settings. "DS" users must be advised that products like ours are designed for use with "Poser" ONLY. We make no guaranties about they performance in other utilities.
