sittin' on my harddrive as part of the program I use to make poser characters. The reason its not 'public' is because it would take me longer to write the 'help' file than it did to make the program because it does so much automatically. stuff like... *auto creation of ik strings *auto rotational orientation setup based upon personalized text files that can be loaded with a click *key press changes of rotational order (if you want to tweak) *check for right and left body part (gotta hate when you make a model and find out when your almost done that you didnt name something right) *checks for standard naming *can edit the obj names *checks for illegal names (like 'body', 'curve', 'morph' [poser reserved name] or names over 16 characters in length) but thats only part of the whole thing *it packages (including the eula for whatever store you are sending it to), *autocreates readme files with all associated files in the text, *packages and checks to see that all files are actually included in the zip that are called for in any cr2, pz2, pp2..etc. *auto-matpose maker..which does batch processing *performs 'whiteout' (changing all diffuse colors to white and all other colors to black) for new figures created *auto renames dials from that xyz rotate crap to twist, side-side bend *strips morphs *creates null figures just added the ability to *make an ezpose-like setup *and mirror obj (means you can make one thing like a boot and it'll automatically make the other one for you (model, cr2, and all) *muli-replace..(search and replace text in multiple files) *unpacks multiple zips at one time and installs them and other stuph... I really intended to release it and let it grow because it runs from textfiles a user makes..so you can make preferences for it to work from without any programming. I guess its 'scriptable' in a way. anyhow, like I said..it does so much I'd be til christmas making a manual or help file. I started, and actually finished one screen..but that took me nearly a month and I had 8 more screens to go. (and I hadnt even touched the complex stuff it can do) so for now, its still my little toy that only I use to make characters. I make part of them, turn on the app..and watch tv while it works. In theory, it could make an entire character by itself after only 1/2 of the model is made, but I havent tried that. :P BT
