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.

Subject: Saving parameter key values to Pose File without delta influences

I'm looking for a way to extract the morph target parameter key values in Python without the influence of JCM/ERC deltas. I'm trying to create a Full Body Morph pose file which includes the BODY actor valueParms and all BodyPart actor scales. I can create the file (I use scene.SaveLibraryPose() to create the PNG icon for me then overwrite the PZ2 file), but if I include the targetGeom parameters from the BodyPart actors, the morph effects are doubled (or worse in JCM cases) when I apply the pose file after resetting the figure morphs and pose. I can see, when I look at the file created, that the partial body morph parameters show the non-zero values imposed by the BODY valueParm full body morph rather than the zero key values shown for those parameters in Poser. I'm running on a Mac and have worked out how to get Python to display a proper Mac OS X file save dialog supporting filename entry and directory browsing as well as other Finder plug-ins. If anyone's interested in this bit, please let me know. Can anyone help with the parameter values? Ockham? Anyone?

I don't have any good ideas. Have you tried setting the FBM to zero, then calling scene.DrawAll() before reading the parms? Sometimes it takes a DrawAll() to get morphs where they really should be.

Thanks ockham, I was hoping I wouldn't have to go down that path, but it had occurred to me. The DrawAll() might help, though.

Or you can use a figure without the jcm/erc morphs... Morph Manager or CR2Editor can do the work, just delete the morphs that you don't want.
