Quote - No problem. It's support should be added in the future though. It exists for specific reasosn and uses.

I'm kind of curious - what did the taper dial really do aside from traverse the hierarchy and, well, taper something (IIRC - haven't used it in years). > Quote - Python should give you access to all those things, and you can combine it with ordinary C/C++ code (PoserPhysics is one plugin that does that). Do you have something specific in mind? If you want to do something that's not available from Python, make sure to send a feature request to e frontier.

I want a Linux port! Oh, hehe - sorry... couldn't resist. You're right; Poser's Python does reach pretty deep in there. OTOH, I gotta question - and set aside me for a minute here. Thing is, Poser could use an SDK. Seriously, how d'ya do a combination of Python and C/C++ without adding extra cycles? Doesn't matter what kind of proggie we're talking here: Compiled code will almost always run hella faster than just scripts, and when you're banging algorithms about with a couple dozen thousand vertices, the differences tend to pile up. Even off-loading the more burdensome loads onto an external (faster) binary still requires the translation layer, and startup time, etc. Then there's the whole external proggie vs. native hooks that a compiled plugin enjoys. I guess what I'm getting at is, a full-on SDK for Poser (w/o a big pricetag) would be kind of useful, y'know? Just my two cents is all, and I won't bug you further ab't it, I promise. /P
