HI...
Im using P7 and after saw some threads from Material bookmarks about MatMatic , make me little confuse . Here my question... Should I download MATMATIC beta 1 first and replace some files which included in zipped version for P7 or straight using P7 Zipped versions ?

Sorry about strange english language or grammar here ...

Thanks

Use the one for Poser 7

Hm... But I should install Beta1 first isnt ? I find BB stated " You need to already have Beta1 installed, as the zip file is just the binaries that go in the python/matmatic folder, nothing else" ( oh.. ive not seen when post this question .. sorry.. my silly question.. LOL )

Ok , i`ll try , Thanks for quick reply

Download the one from here... the one for Poser 7

There are lots of matmatic links in this thread, along with instructions on how to use it:

Quote - 3. After you have unzipped matmatic to your Poser runtime, open Poser.

1. File/Run Python Script

2. Browse to the Python/Matmatic folder and select the script.

3. Run it. That's all.  You won't see anything visible except a message in the window saying something about compilation complete.  That means that Matmatic read the scripts and generated material files that you access in the material room just like any other materials.  It's not like Wardrobe Wizard where you have to run the script each time. After you have run Matmatic and it has generated shaders based on the scripts it read, you can go to the material and use the shaders/materials just like you would any other material in your materials library.

If you want to add a button to your python scripts window in Poser, follow the instructions in this thread.  Dimension3D explained to me how to add an extra button, and to even make a subscript button where you can have as many scripts in there as you want.

1. Go to the material room and locate your poser libraries material folder. Look for "Matmatic Demos".  Inside are the materials that Matmatic generated when you ran the script.

NOTE:  Matmatic generates errors if you have your files are compressed.  If you compress your files, uncompress them before you run Matmatic.

If you want to add more scripts, go to the links I posted in the shaders&Nodes thread, and locate the script attachments in the RDNA threads.  Open the text file because you are going to save it.

Decide on a name IE: ReptileScales  and browse to your Poser/Library/Materials/Matmatic Demo folder.  Create a new folder in there called "ReptileScales"   Then save the text file to that folder and call it  "ReptileScales.mm1.txt"

**Each mm1.txt   script file has to have it's own separate folder.
**Then go into Poser and run the Matmatic Python Script to generate the shaders/materials from that script you have just save.

That's all there is too it.  Unfortunately matmatic is a script only, and doesn't generate .png files. So the materials are shown in the material room library as the shrugging man icon. If you want thumbnails, open a primative, apply the material and render a 91 x 91 thumbnail and save it as a .png file with  the same name of the shrugging man icon you are replacing.

satria,

Did you find what you need? I'm here to help if you like. I'm just watching TV.

By the way, I have to tell you that this thread made me laugh. Apparently, you decided to flag your post with a "Language Advisory". I read your post very carefully and could not find any bad words, swearing, or offensive speech. Then I realized perhaps you marked it because you are not a native English speaker? That is very funny :)  If, perhaps, you don't see the joke, it is because "Langauge Advisory" is for when you intend to use bad words, which may offend some people, or children. :)

PLEASE HELP.  I just discovered your APP and your GENIUS, but I can not download Matmatic and have been trying to for hours.

Your site to download "MatmaticBeta1.zip" is down, or at least FireFox keeps saying it can't find server.  Not just once,  I have been trying for 4 hours straight while researching this incredible work.

I work in P6, but in the future might upgrade to P7.  Regardless, you stated at RDNA that the original "MatmaticBeta1.zip" is required for P7 assimilation.  Please help, I would love to try to reach your level so I can actually start producing work worthwhile enough to publish.

Thank You in advance, and for all your posts here and at RDNA, I have learned alot.  Off to play with Material Room.  Yay!

Take care all...

I should put out the new version. I have new stuff. Anyway, follow the link. I've uploaded it to a new place.

If you're on a MAC, come back - I have to fix some stuff for Mac.

If you're on P7 or PPro, come back - I have other versions. Just haven't assembled it on my new site yet.

Then - eventually, I'll post the final version. Yay. Final version has new features, including direct generation of light shaders and background shaders.

Bill... you need a life outside of the Poser material room!

(/sarcasm)

But you are the best

**bagginsbill:

Thank you for re-uploading your APP.  I eagerly await your new version as well, and can't wait to see what I can produce with this and following your posts/mini-tuts.  Far superior results from what I've seen using your procedural techniques compared to hand painted textures IMHO, and I am a 30+ years traditional 2D artist.  Nothing here yet (although been here pretty much from Rosity's inception, but original account PW highjacked, so rejoined anew 2002), but I have work elsewhere.

Take care all...
Ken

That could be said about a whole lot of Poser fans! :tt2:
