I find the hair room design tools impossible to use effectively. Poser has never been very reliable, in my experience, when it comes to anything that requires dragging the mouse through the preview window to position an object. In order for the hair room to be useful for me, it will require better tools. Less awkward interface dragging and more numerical inputs, say. Or better interface dragging. :lol:
Unfortunately, the effort I made in this thread (some years ago now) quickly ran up against my limited mathematical knowledge and ability. I'm self-taught (no math education beyond algebra and basic geometry) and, sadly, I've never been able to master any math which involves rotations. The script in this thread was ultimately all about rotational math. :sad:
If anyone with more ability wants to tackle the idea, it would make me very happy. Unfortunately, I took this as far as I could, which wasn't far enough for it to be useful. This script represents an area where Python could presumably help make Poser a better program.

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.
