Sigh. I don't converse much at Daz because there are so many people who make statements about what is possible, knowing nothing about it.

If Python is not so good at being fast for a whole app, how is it that Blender exists? Hmmm?

Python plugins can be pre-compiled - my tool matmatic is distributed that way. Nobody can see or muck with the script.

And Python can have add-on modules written entirely in C, which can go very fast. Otherwise, we would not have the Numeric library for fast vector processing.

Oh - and Poser's API is compatible with Numeric. Which means that it is entirely straightforward to write 3D manipulations that run fast as Poser Python plugins.

But what do I know.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
