The script follows rules, provided by a prop, to decide how to apply shaders to other figures or props. It automates the copying of a particular shader to many material zones. It tries to automatically apply the various texture maps for your figure to these shaders, because it's supposed to work with any maps on any figure.
Also, I give you some free shaders to use with it, ready to go.
Much of the conversation has been about those shaders - which has nothing to do with VSS, per se. You could just as well copied the shader to every material zone yourself. But it would be a lot more work. I give out shaders all the time, and I grew tired of telling people how to apply them or adapt them to their figure.
As I've distributed it, it only does figures right now, and you can't make it do only certain figures without doing some editing.
When you run it - it populates buttons in your Python window. It doesn't actually do anything until you push those buttons.
For some people, there are problems. Anyone using Poser 6, or Poser on a MAC, seems to have various issues. I am working these out.
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)
