Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 02 3:16 pm)

We now have a ProPack Section in the Poser FreeStuff.
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.

In the pz3 file it says: backfaceCull and there is an actor method: BackfaceCull() & SetBackfaceCull().
I've tried every combination i could think of. any ideas anyone?
Maybe it will be in the poser pro  documentation.

any help would be much appreciated.......

actor.SetBackfaceCull( x )          x = 0 off x = 1 on
Poser 7 Python methods pdf page 69

I believe there is a render option you have to set to have that active during rendering
SetRemoveBackfacing page 115 in the firefly settings

markschum:

i couldn't find the reference you mentioned and then realized that i wasn't using the latest pdf. when i installed poser, i copied the manual to a desktop folder. they never mentioned to my knowledge that they had updated it and i never looked.

thanks for your help once again. i am curious to know where you live if you want to share that.

The poser methods pdf is in the poser program folder and was updated for each version . There is a python script that generates the list of methods , and it is more correct than the pdf.

I live in the USA , Wisconsin at the moment .

I thought backface cull was only a render setting , I wasnt aware , until your question that it was flagged in the actor itself .
