I'm glad you're interested! Welcome to the cult. I know it's hard to find.

At RDNA, use the per-forum search links, not the top level search link. The top level one doesn't actually look in the forums at all. You'll find matmatic stuff in Poser 6 & 7 forums and the Node Cult forum.

You need to first download and install matmatic. Then you can download scripts that I post and run them using matmatic. You do not run them as plain old Python scripts, because they expect matmatic to do a lot of prep work and so on. Otherwise, the scripts would be a bit more complicated.

Here is the link to the original posting about matmatic:

The actual matmatic beta 1 distribution file is here:](http://www.runtimedna.com/mod/forum/messages.php?ShowMessage=228105)[http://loftydesigns.net/Beta/Beta/MatmaticBeta1.zip

That version only runs on P5 and P6. If you are on Poser 7, you need to install that first, then go to this thread:

Look for post #6, there is an attached file there that contains a preliminary version of matmatic for P7.

Save that zip file and unzip the contents directly into the Runtime:Python:matmatic folder.

Matmatic scripts should be named .mm1.txt, not .py. (That's em em one, not em em el, it stands for matmatic version 1 scripting language).  And you probably want to put downloaded scripts each into its own folder.

Be sure to read the stuff under matmatic in the docs folder.

Enjoy, and show your work!](http://www.runtimedna.com/mod/forum/messages.php?ShowMessage=266423)

NOTE: When I edited this post, all the links got extended into the plain text. I don't know why - this editor sux.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
