Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 18 2:50 am)

We now have a ProPack Section in the Poser FreeStuff.
Check out the new Poser Python Wish List thread. If you have an idea for a script, jot it down and maybe someone can write it. If you're looking to write a script, check out this thread for useful suggestions.

Also, check out the official Python site for interpreters, sample code, applications, cool links and debuggers. This is THE central site for Python.

You can now attach text files to your posts to pass around scripts. Just attach the script as a txt file like you would a jpg or gif. Since the forum will use a random name for the file in the link, you should give instructions on what the file name should be and where to install it. Its a good idea to usually put that info right in the script file as well.

Anyone know if the creator of these scripts is still around? Any plans to update them for Poser 5? I love what they do, though I have only started to play with them. best, e.d.

Hmm. I hadn't noticed those before. (And it's a good thing I hadn't, because I've been "reinventing" some of those functions from a different angle; if I knew they already existed, I wouldn't have bothered to create them.) Looks like the creator hasn't been active in this realm for about two years. His own website, and his Daz stuff, both seem to stop around 4/01. Converting for P5 generally involves a couple of standard steps, but those steps have to be done in the PY form (readable text), not the PYC form; and commercial scripts are usually distributed in PYC form. There are decompilers available in the Python world......

Thanks Ockham, and please keep me updated if you continue working on your scripts; I'd love to play with them. e.d.

I am still alive (been busy with school), thank you for the purchase and good words :-) I don't have plans to adapt MKParticles to Poser 5 at the moment, but I might have time to do some updates for it this summer. I'm releasing a new Python script bundle for P4Pro and P5 in mid-April--PoseWorks PowerDials and Python Manager. PowerDials allows you to do some advanced work with parameter dials within Poser, letting you use mathematical functions (like trigonometry, logarithms, addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, and exponents) as well as variables and other parameter dials in the scene all instead of plain numbers. Python Manager is a new interface for loading and managing your Python scripts that should be quite a bit faster and more intuitive than the traditional Python Scripts Window. (If I do end up updating Particles this summer, I promise I'll throw in some extra goodies :-)

Glad to hear you are still with us. The PowerDials sound interesting (and complicated ;-)). The Python Manager sound like something I might kill for.... An update for the particles would be dearly appreciated, but I do understand the constraints of time and ambition. Will try to do something cool with Particles and either win a contest of get lots of people to see it in the gallery... maybe can drum up some business and boost your ambitions ;-) best, e.d.

Good to hear from you, PW! I'm looking forward eagerly to your file manager, not just because I'll find it useful, but because it should make Python more popular!
