Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 11 8:37 pm)
Subject: Posing was never so easy
That looks very useful. Can someone tell me briefly how to use it in Poser? I don't know how to use scripts other than to compress my files and WW, and both of those show up in the little script window.

This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
Thanks :) That sounds easy enough to do.

*How about a MAC version? We hate to be left out...*I don't have a MAC that's why I usually check "PC only". I don't know whether it runs on a MAC or not, you may try. Like for ProPack, if there is someone that can test it and maybe adjust it to run on a MAC, it would be great.

You can also add the script to RuntimePythonposerScriptsmainButtons.py to have it in the Python menu each time you run Poser. Should be obvious how to change the file when you open it in a text editor.

Thank you :) I added that to the readme and rezipped the file so I'll remember in the future if I have to ever reinstall it again. I was trying to pose hands in a prayer-type pose, and trying to adjust all the fingers so that they looked "clasped" together was beyond frustrating.

Just a note. I discovered that you can only have "10" lines in the mainButtons.py. I already have Wardrobe Wizard in there so it's visible in the Python Scripts menu, and that makes 10 entries. Seems rather silly for Poser to be limited to only allowing you the ability to add one additional script to the buttons :(

*I discovered that you can only have "10" lines in the mainButtons.py.*You can use a kind of sub-menus. mainButtons.py is just the start script to initially define the menu buttons. You can use other scripts to redefine the menu buttons and call them from mainButtons.py. And if you include mainButtons.py in these other scripts, you can switch back to the main buttons again.

stares blankly I have no idea what you just said. All I know is it involves "code" and a script to make a script work (or something like that). LOL The only "scripting" that I'm familiar with is the "Hollywood" kind, hehe

*I have no idea what you just said.*Sorry. You need no real code or scripting. Just copy/paste the code from mainButtons.py to a new py-file and replace the strings with the scripts and the button labels as you did in mainButtons.py. Save it as a new py-file. Then, add this new file as a script to mainButtons.py. And include mainButtons.py in your new script. Now, you can switch between these two menus, and you have place for 18 other scripts.

I'll have to read that over a few times. It sorta kinda makes sense, but the light bulb hasn't gone off yet, LOL I may just stick with the accessing it through a blank button as needed. It sounds a whole lot easier :)

Can someone explain this sub-menu way again? I have read and reread the instructions and I feel so dumb, but I still don't get how you get more than 1 additional script to show in the python menu in Poser.

OK, I should have included the code.
In ...RuntimePythonposerScripts is a file called mainButtons.py. Open it in a text editor, and you get something like this:
import poser
poser.DefineScriptButton(1, ":Runtime:Python:PoserScripts:script.py", "Label")
poser.DefineScriptButton(2, "", "...")
poser.DefineScriptButton(3, "", "...")
poser.DefineScriptButton(4, "", "...")
poser.DefineScriptButton(5, "", "...")
poser.DefineScriptButton(6, "", "...")
poser.DefineScriptButton(7, "", "...")
poser.DefineScriptButton(8, "", "...")
poser.DefineScriptButton(9, "", "...")
poser.DefineScriptButton(10, "", "...")
For each button, you can name a script and a label. In this example, the first button has the script script.py and the label Label.
To create a submenu, fill in other scripts and labels and save it as submenuButtons.py (or whatever you like) in the ...RuntimePythonposerScripts folder. Use the following to replace the final line:
poser.DefineScriptButton(10, ":Runtime:Python:PoserScripts:mainButtons.py", ">> Main Menu")
In mainButtons.py, you must add a call to the sub menu. Replace the final line by:
poser.DefineScriptButton(10, ":Runtime:Python:PoserScripts:submenuButtons.py", ">> Sub Menu")
Now, You can switch from the main menu to the sub menu and back with the last button of the menus. Of cource, you can create as many submenus you like, link them from any button in any menu script you like, and use any label you like.
I hope this helps.

So what you are saying is that instead of where I have "Wardrobe Wizard" in the python menu list, the button will say "Subscripts" or whatever I named the new file? Then I just click that and it will show all of the new scripts I have, including Wardrobe Wizard? Ok, now that you explained it in more detail, it seems clear. Thanks again :) Sorry to be so dense when it comes to stuff like this. I've only had a computer for 5 years and have never done much with it other than surf the net and make graphics, so lots of things are really new to me.

Running the script "submenuButtons.py" will redefine the Python menu buttons with the new scripts/labels. You can place the scripts for the (sub)menus and for the real scrips on any button and in any menu you like. Just be sure you can get from mainButtons.py to your submenus and from all submenus back to mainButtons.

While I was doing this, I think I saw that it's possible to make submenus of the submenu. I'll have to look at that when I'm a bit more awake, because usually if something involves dealving into more than the top layer, I get myself confused, LOL A good thing I'm not a surgeon :P Thanks again for the great script and the tip on how to be able to access it and a few others in the python menu :)

Quote - I don't want to sound condescending, but if you just open up the script files and play around with them for a while you should be able to figure out the syntax
Perhaps for you it might be as easy as that, and if it is, good for you. I wish stuff like that were as easy for me, but alas, it isn't.

I made a Python script that allows to pose several actors at once. For example, you can control all fingers of one hand at once. Unlike the grasp or spread dials, you have far more control because you can change for each finger as well as for each segment how much it is affected. (The settings in the image above make a pointing index finger.) And you can also use the script to pose the full legs or arms or other parts of the body.You can download the script from my free stuff here at Renderosity (use the link above).
BTW, I think the script will run on Poser 5 and up only at the moment. It would be great if someone can test it on ProPack and adjust it accordingly.
