Heh, sort of a face randomizer? Have you tried to create any geometry (props) with Python yet? -Jeff

Need to remind newbies that the "Undo Change" doesn't work with stuff changed by Python scripts. Something that will need to be worked into production scripts.

cool random mt for posette's head. thanks

this can be used to generate various of FACE(fc2) for the head. COOL.

i just changed the actor name to chest, hehe see what it does to her breats :P

As to reseting the MTs back to 0, just remove the random function in the next to last line. change: SingleActor.SetParameter(SingleParameter.Name(),(random.random()+TweekValue)) to: SingleActor.SetParameter(SingleParameter.Name(), 0.0) That will reset all the changed MT parameter dials.

cool:) How to "set" and "set" multiple MTs at a time ? and How to "reset" multiple MTs at a time ? for ex, I set chest , head, abdomen at a *py click and rest them back to 0.0 TIA

oops:P cool:) How to "set" multiple MTs at a time ? and How to "reset" multiple MTs at a time ? TIA

As far as this script is concerned, you could select multiple actors by changing the if statement. change: if SingleActor.Name() == 'Head': to: if (SingleActor.Name() == 'Head') or (SingleActor.Name() == 'Chest'): Now all the MTs for the Head and the Chest will be selected. You could make this script much more generalized by using some of TkInter's widgets. There's one called 'CheckButton' that gives a panel with selectable boxes. I haven't tried building one of these with actor names at runtime but I'd think it could be done. Jeff - No, I haven't tried that yet. I've looked at the examples and it looks like it's fairly straight forward. I need to get a bit deeper into the examples before trying it though.

thanks, I did a "set" and "reset" multiple MT.py. But what if I like to set all , and reset all ? TIA.

That's easy. If you comment out the if statement (put a '#' in the first column of the line) then ALL actors will either get or reset.

wow, thanks. It works :)

hope there will a python to get rid of the unnecessary bones in SETUP with a l single click:P

let me explain this, for example, if we need to delete all the finger bones in both hands, using delete will be tedious, so I figure if there is a custom py to delete all the fingersd leaving only hand parts. TIA.

it seems one can't undo the py after hitting a py buttons in python scripts panel.

That's true, there is no undo for a script.

I haven't looked through the PoserPython docs to see if there are any functions related to the setup room so I'm not sure on that point. As to undoing scripts, I'm certain that as the scripts get more complex there will be undo functions built into them. Actually that would be relatively simple. It's just a case of saving the current state of the actors before changing them. An undo would just reload the saved values.

The Random MT py ( for head alone) turns out a good tool to create many convincing facial expression or new looks. It is a very import ant tool now. the reason is simple, normally we have to manually adhust the parameter dials to achieve new looks or expresson, with trial and error, it takes time. But with the random MT py, it is very quick and easy way to get many random sample and part of them are very useful to save as spawn morph or fc2. I found the tweekValue is a key to the ramdom effects. so changing it may result in different combination of MT. Thanks to Bushi who enlighted me for the py.

the reason for asking an undo is becasue when i hit the random mt py, i kept hitting unaware of a mt is very good to save as spawn or f22, but i was too quick to hit next so i failed to keep it and ctrl + z has no effect on this:( btw, anyway to make an incremental MTs, i mean with one py hit, the dials will increase the amount for say 0.001( or any ) so that i can see the increasingly morphing effect. TIA

Yes, I could add an undo (at least 5 or 10 layers deep) and an incremental parameter change. Actually it would be good practice since it will require some TkInter programming to do it. I've also been thinking about adding a symmetry feature. That would be where selected parameter dials would get the same random adjustment. As an example, having the 'blink' parameter be set the same for the right and left eye.
