Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 18 2:50 am)

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.

Subject: setting default scene...

i use 2 basic new scenes. the first is the default poser7 size and i also use 1000x625 with adjustments made to the main camera so that the content renders at the same size as default but with more background area. if i am not being clear, let me know.

while in batch mode, i would like to load my template scene and set it as the default. i don't see a direct way to do that. there may also be other ways to accomplish what i am after.

background: i am creating clip art from basic content with a single character or prop in the scene using batch processing. some objects are larger than the default poser preview window dimensions and get clipped. i am not very knowledgeable about the poser interface. for me, when i want to enlarge the background, i can't just enlarge the preview window because the content gets larger, too. i am probably missing some basic poser functionality here. it wouldn't be the first time.

so, if anyone could help me, i would be very appreciative. setting the default scene would do it, but overall i am open to any suggestions for solving my basic problem in an automated way.

Avoiding clipping is a camera issue; and a "zoom to fit scene/figure/element" button would be a very useful addition to Poser. Which is probably why it doesn't have one. :/ Sorry that wasn't immediately useful, and I have a feeling that it would be tricky to accomplish since I don't think Python "knows" about the contents of the preview window, directly. But if someone does manage to do this, I'll be interested!
