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.

Hi all,

I had to change the upper arm lengths for my figure, and now I need to adjust all the origins and falloff sphere centers for her forearms, hands and the various finger parts. I figured a Python script would be the easiest way, at least if the API let me do it. I think I know how to change the origins. But since I have no experience in these things and will probably make horrible mistakes, I thought I'd ask if anyone here had ever done this kind of thing. Also, is there a way to get to the falloff spheres via Python? Are they children of the respective actors or something like that?

Cheers,
Olaf

If you changed only the upper arm geometry it may be easiest to adjust your bones in the setup room. it should be just a matter of dragging the bones out to its new location.

What about a Joint-Pose?
I made a script long ago to extract joint-parameters for certain actors to a pose file.

You can find it at http://www.poserprofis.de/python

poserfileOOPlib.zip contains a joint extractor as a demo for the lib poserfileOOP.
A somewhat more extended version is contained in ExtractJoints.zip. This is a Windows executable ready to go outside of Poser.

That's even better, adp001.

I think I saw that script some time ago, but forgot about it.

Excellent!
