I have been playing around with this and if I am not mistaken , It says in the tutorials that you must not conform the clothes, you just parent them to the figure.
Well I have a figure that already has the clothes conformed to it.
I just imported a box from the poser props and parented them all to the one box and scaled the box on the Z and
the whole figure and the clothes and all the props Z-TOONED.
If the plython script would just parent all to one box and then Z scale it will work with conformed clothes.
By the way you can still pose figure and the clothes and all the props will follow. skee

skee, welcome to the Z-toon addiction...

Might I point out this thread that hashed out a good deal of new Z-toon techniques... http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=1324888?

Thanks for mentioning that Skee, it does make Z-toons much easier to create. I have added some of those new techniques in an improved version of the Z-toon tutorial that I was hoping to have finished last week. Too many non-Poser things to get done first though, argh... I'll try to get it all done this week though. Take care! SnowS

Should I make an alternative script that parents everything to one ball? Seems like the separate-balls method does have one advantage: you can easily de-toon individual props.

No need, Ockham. With the naming it's easy enough to select the correct ball. And it is necessary for them to be separate in order to be able to de-toon horizontal stuff.

Okay. My natural sense of 3D geometry is poor, so I can't tell "a priori" which method should work better, without actually trying them. I'll take your word for it!
