Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew how to achieve the effect above (sorry I cant remmeber the author of original WIP picture), I was sure that I saw a python script that did this about a year ago but cant seem to find it. Any help, much appreciated, Barrie.

Multiple renders and then ... ... was prolly spliced in a "paint" program, no? ;=]

could just be multiple renders and photoshop, but I'm pretty sure I saw a script (way back when poser pro pack came out) maybe all it did was the multiple renders from given angles, but even if that was automated that would save some time I guess. Stupid me for not picking up the script I guess at the time (I have poser 5 now) Best wishes

Here's a script that lets you *see* multiple angles at once, which is handy. (Look at the Superdot script, bundled with Timeline.) But that's still not the final effect shown.... I think you'll have to do that in a paint program.

nice scripts :) , thanks they'll come in handy. I dont mind pinning a few segments together in photoshop I just don't fancy ... camera 0 degrees render to xxxx001.bmp , camera 45 degrees render to xxxx0002.bmp ... seems like such a waste of time. I think I'll just not be so lazy and do it by hand. Thanks for the help. Barrie

Oh! If you want auto render at various angles, with titles giving the degrees, here's a script that will do it. I built it for one specific job, so it doesn't have a nice "front panel". Just find line 40, which says "Steps=32.0" and change it to the NUMBER of steps you want. For instance, if you want 45 degrees per steps, make it Steps=8.0

cool , thanks :) , I think thats probably all the original script did, I can't imagine any python script that could actually overlay 2 images into one (although its probably possible, just difficult) ... Thank you very much :) Best wishes, Barrie.

Sorry that I was slow on the uptake. Not enough coffee yet this morning. The overlay would indeed be possible, but as I said, maybe not worth the trouble.

why not just past to background

I think that that would make the script a bit more complicated .. since you would have to rotate -> render -> save to background -> TRANSLATE .. I think it sounds easier than it is. Barrie.
