Quote - it doesn't work in P5 either.  loads but doesn't run. 
you can't run a script from a pose file in P5...maybe it's got something to do with that?
works great in PP2010 though!

do i run it for each individual loop or is there a way to do multiples?
& could Mr.Looper be a different shape than a plane?

Ooh.  We cross-posted.  😊  I wasn't responding to you, with my last post.

I did test in Poser 5, however, and it ran for me without difficulty.  😕  Which isn't a good sign, when debugging.  :scared:

Did you receive any errors when trying to run using Poser 5?

Multiple loops would require multiple defined planes, or else they'd all end up being the same loop.  As such, I hadn't considered any sort of batch handling.  but I suppose one could create a stack of loops, at regular intervals, using the same plane orientation.  Hmm.  So: currently there's no batch handling, but you've just made me think about possibly developing some.  :laugh:

A different shape than a plane?  Currently, no.  I'm having trouble trying to imagine anything useful resulting if I tried to unwrap a sphere and use its surface as the basis for the process which uses the plane.  You might get some very strange shapes.  :lol:  I suppose it could theoretically be done, using parametric coordinates or something, but I'm not sure the result would be useful.  I'll have to think about that.  :laugh:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
