renderdog2000:

sounds like a cool project to me.

i am not a poser artist. i am using it to make content for a graphics program for kids i've developed. the quality of poser renders is good enough for my purpose. the main reasons i am using it is because it makes pretty nice png's which i need and the fact that it can be programmed. i am generating pz3's from content and rendering in 14 rotations so that i end up with something like 3d in a program that's useable by regular people. believing that it was programmable in the sense that we think, was not true. only through help from forum members have i been able to succeed as far as i have because of the near lack of and incorrect documentation on poserpython and it has taken lots of time and even trial and error. saying that poser is programmable as a sales point is like saying that you can program the computer in your car. yes, it's possible but i consider that it was false advertising since they don't really support it.

i really am not fond of python at all after being spoiled by real coherent languages and good documentation. however i am now able to do most of what i want. there is lot's of content for poser but there are major problems and i am now able to fix most of them with batch processing. i have 5000 base files or a variety of characters and props up from 1000 in december so, i'm picking up speed. with shadows and camera angles and rotations, i end up with 56 png files for each pz3 base file so i now have 250,000+ files at 7.9gb. i am amazed at that actually.

i'll be watching for your new program and wish you great success...
