I've done a little bit of C++ and Java programming, but I don't know much about Poser or Python yet. So I have a question... I've been thinking about a pseudo-crowd-generator script for Poser. I think I can imagine the logic, but I'm not sure that Poser would allow me to do such a thing. My basic idea is to place one character in a scene with a specific walk path. Then the script would copy the figure a preset number of times, randomly altering the scale of each within a certain range, and alter their xTran and zTran randomly to spread them around. It would also copy the walk paths with the same off-sets as the figures. What I'd like to do is have a collection of similar figures, like men in battle armor, running across the screen.

What do you think? Sound absolutely crazy!!??

If anyone has any thoughts I'd value your opinions before I begin trying to tackle something like this.

Thanks!
