Quote - Unfortunately many aspects of joints lack the proper pragraph structure to support animation. basically if you can't attach a dial to it you can't animate it. Poser used the basic dial paragraph for many things, most invisible. 

Some aspects can be altered but many are simple defined absolutes on the timeline.

Poser fires an event on any keyframe change and on any changes related to "dials" or changed geometrie. Poser Python is able to catch those events, even in animations.

I assume (havn't explored it yet) that Poser reports the keyframe change to Python before the scene is setup.

If we have a seperate dialog where we can insert a keyframe number and the filename of a Joint Pose File, the joint redefinition is applied before Poser sets the new computed dial parameters for this keyframe to the figure. And, because we load a standard pose file, it may contain another texture set beside of the new joint parameters (not tested). Contained poses may be overwritten (also not tested, but I assume it).

I'm going to be offline now until tomorrow.  Feel free to give feedback about what you're missing in the script. Or about your ideas. Here in this thread or via email (fh at elizadigital.de)
