Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Feb 05 6:41 am)
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: all materials white ( poser 8 script)
I changed the settings and filename from grey to white. Here it is.

Oh, I see what you mean... this script only does one little bit of what you want.
It can be certainly be done, but it's a bit beyond my Python skills at the moment.
Python Wizards, where are you?

More scripts than you can shake a stick at. :)
This one may be more flexible, it will change all materials in the scene to match the material currently selected in the Material Room. If you want everything white just pick any actor, pick any of its materials, set that to white, then run the script.

import poser<br></br>
import os
scene = poser.Scene()
def main():<br></br>
filename =
os.path.join(os.curdir,"temp.mt5")<br></br>
mat = scene.CurrentMaterial()<br></br>
mat.SaveMaterialSet(filename)
for actor in scene.Actors():<br></br>
try:<br></br>
print "Processing %s" % actor.Name()<br></br>
for mat in actor.Materials():<br></br>
try:<br></br>
mat.SetSelected(1) <br></br>
mat.LoadMaterialSet(filename)<br></br>
print "------ %s OK" % mat.Name()<br></br>
except:<br></br>
print "------ %s FAILED" % mat.Name()<br></br>
except:<br></br>
print "------ Bypassing %s" % actor.Name()<br></br>
main()
print "--------------------------"<br></br>
print " TASK COMPLETED"<br></br>
print "--------------------------"<br></br>
I tried to use PhilC's script with Poser Pro and Poser 8, but the actor materials are not changed to match the one currently selected.
SaveMaterialSet and LoadMaterialSet return success, so I don't know what's going on.
Any idea ? Thanks

Hi, I tried both in the Pose and in the Material Room. Also, I don't know if this helps, I'm on a Mac.
But I checked out and the temp material is correctly save, so I'm quite clueless...

Hmmm... I'm fairly sure I had Phil's script working (it would have been in PPro, I think), but I'll check this evening when I get home. I'm on Mac too.

Anyway, I then added a figure (Miki2_Dev), selected my test prop material, and ran the script again. It took ages, and when it eventually finished, the output window explained why: for each one of Miki2's actors, it updated all of her material zones.
The only reason for this that I can think of is that material zones are assigned directly to the figure, rather than to its actors. A minor change to the script should resolve this issue.
