Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 18 2:50 am)
Check out the new Poser Python Wish List thread. If you have an idea for a script, jot it down and maybe someone can write it. If you're looking to write a script, check out this thread for useful suggestions.
Also, check out the official Python site for interpreters, sample code, applications, cool links and debuggers. This is THE central site for Python.
You can now attach text files to your posts to pass around scripts. Just attach the script as a txt file like you would a jpg or gif. Since the forum will use a random name for the file in the link, you should give instructions on what the file name should be and where to install it. Its a good idea to usually put that info right in the script file as well.

Subject: Nice, simple height calculation script inquiry
Question: what version of Poser do you use?
I can make something for you if you use Poser 5 or higher.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
By the way, should the script ASK for the height of the current character, or should it CALCULATE it? Getting the height of a figure isn't that difficult in Python.

This is something that I would like very much, too. I would want it to calculate the current height and then allow you to input the height that you would like the character to be. Would this also work on the clothes as well. For that matter, could it be incorporated into an FBM (I use Wardrobe Wizard 2 to make adjustments in the clothing to morphed figures)?
I'm using Poser 6, by the way.
Incorporating the scaling of conformed clothes shouldn't be too difficult.

/me decloaks...
If the figure has conformed clothes, the "Include conformed clothing" checkbox is automatically selected. You can choose what units you want to use (Poser Native, inches, feet, centimeters or meters), and there's also a "Reset to 100%" button included.
The script calculates the figure heigt from the figure in "zero" pose - even if the figure itself is NOT in zero pose! So you don't have to set the figure in a default pose for the height calculations.
The 'current height' calculation incorporates the current BODY Scale factor in the result.
Script works in Poser 6 and 7.

V4 reads 78.7658 inches. The attached image shows the problem, which is that flat-footed, she's just a tad shorter than V3 (about 0.5 Poser inches). Her zero pose, however, puts her above V3 by those almost 3 inches. This causes subsequent scaling issue. Not too much to be a problem if you're only working with rough heights anyway: as it stands I'll use the script in a heartbeat, as it at least gets you in the ballpark. I'd cheat a bit on the height, saying I want V4 to be 5'7.5" instead of 5'6", for example, to take that extra base height into account.
Still, having the option to enter the base height manually, so I could subtract those 3 inches at the start, would be neato-keen.
Incidentally, beside them is Dr. Geep's 9 foot measuring stick. Its problem with Poser 7 scale is obvious (V3 measuring just under 6'2" instead of 6'4"). Fortunately, using the script to get V3's calculated height, it's trivial to rescale the Y on the prop to make it match using the height of V3 as a baseline. Scaling it down to 96.9% on the Y gets it close enough.

Here is a link to a pic on my deviantart web page that shows the comparisons between my RobbyBobby (base M3) character and the scaled to 5'9" version.Warning: There is nudity in the pic.

Here is another pic showing clothes conformed to the first scaled figure and then showing the second figure scaled with the clothes.

What I'm looking for is a very basic scaling script. Basically a simple calculator, it asks for the current height of the selected character, the desired height, and then scales the body accordingly. Like i said, just a simple one, I'd take care of proportions by myself.
It's just a pain in the ass to run to a calculator when i want to scale a figure.when a script could do it.
