Hi everyone,

Ben Margolis here, from Rocketship Software, makers of PzDB.

I’ve been watching this thread because we have had several requests to have PzDB index Pz3 files too. And if we’re going to do that, we’re going to need something very much like this script.

 So Z, I’ve found the bug you found in that If statement. (he forgot to add the file path to the name)

So that line should be:

 if not os.path.exists(myfilepath + cfo):

And as you requested here’s a version that lets you enter any list of files, instead of doing whole directories:

import poser
import os

 

myq = []
myq.append ("E:PoserFilesCharactersDaveX1File1.pz3")
myq.append ("E:PoserFilesCharactersDaveX1File2.pz3")
myq.append ("E:PoserFilesCharactersDaveNew FolderFile3.pz3")
#add more files here

**
**#and then render them all

mql = len(myq)print "Rendering a possible " + str(mql) + " pz3 files."

process each file in the list

for cf in myq:     

create output name

            cfo = cf[0:-4] + ".png"
            cfd = cf
            if not os.path.exists(cfo):
                        # open the scene file
                        print "Processing File: " + cfd
                        poser.OpenDocument(cfd)
                        # get the scene and set render type , output size
                        scn = poser.Scene()
                        scn.SetCurrentRenderEngine(poser.kRenderEngineCodeFIREFLY)
                        scn.SetOutputRes(300,300)
                        scn.SetFrame(0)
                        # render the scene
                        print "Rendering: "+ cfd
                        prr = scn.Render()
                        print prr          
                        # save the image , same path, as png
                        print "Saving image as: " + cfo
                        scn.SaveImage("png", cfo )
                        # and close the document

                        poser.CloseDocument(1)

print "done"

close Poser down

poser.Quit()

 

markschum, If you wouldn’t mind I’d like to use this as a starting point for a Script that we include in the next PzdDB.  It’ll need better error handling though, and I’d love a GUI window with a cancel button, any idea about how to do that?
