Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 25 12:38 pm)
Oh dear :-( I have never seen that script by Ockham before, so... I have no idea how it works or what it does. My particular method didn't involve Python. But now I know there is a script out already, I shall shelve my project. Sorry if I got people excited over nothing. Hangs head in shame.

Don't quit working on your method yet. Too many of the scripts require certain Python calls that don't work on Macs. This may be an alternative. Also, this might prove to be more effective in certain circumstances - you never know.
Before they made me they broke the mold!

Noooo - don't shelve it! C'mon, Zig, share the secret, pretty please.

mmmm... I have just downloaded Ockham's Eureka script and... I hope he dosn't mind me quoting from his read me which says: "5. Wait. The timing depends on degree of contact and density of mesh. For Posette sitting on a simple pillow, using Left Thigh, Right Thigh, and Hip, the deformation takes about 15 seconds. But her Head on the same pillow takes 10 minutes! Smoothing also adds a considerable amount of time." Well, my method works in real time. That is... as you move the body parts and or pose the figure... any parts coming into contact with the surface effect the surface. Example: If a figure is sitting on the surface with outstretched legs, the indentation appears in the surface. Then... if you move one or both legs sidewards the indentation follows the leg... in real time. Raises head slightly.

Nice work Ziggie. I better bookmark this thread as well. :o)

'richardson' got it :-) Multiple magnets created for the mattress... then parented to the body parts. That way the magnets stay attached to the body parts, but don't effect the body parts... only the mattress. Therefore... as the magnetized body part comes in range of the mattress it creates the indentation. I am currently magnetizing a figure from head to toe... with good results. The good thing is that when you save the figure... it also save the magnets with the figure. You can then reload the figure and use as normal. The magnets only come into operation when the mattress is also loaded into the scene.

I was sitting here playing with Poser (as usual) when an apple fell on my head..! When I came round... I found I had discovered the secret of Poser gravity (well... sort of). I have found a way to give a figure 'weight' so that when it comes into contact with a surface... the surface reacts to the weight of the figure. Only the parts of the figure that contact the surface effect the surface. In the following pics... only the poses of the figure were altered. It still needs a lot of work and fine tuning, but... it definately works in principle. :-) ziggie
