Thanks, GeneralNutt. :laugh: I don't know that I get discouraged, but I am sometimes puzzled that there's no apparent interest in something. But, then, I'm immersed in the material, so it may seem more compelling to me than it actually is. :lol:
Given that the Hair Room styling tools can still be used (particularly for things like tapering a lock) after any script-imposed shaping, I think the script would just need to cover a few different ways of styling a hair group along a defined path. Seen above is each guide hair individually shaped to the path. I'd also like one or more options which handle clusters of hairs as a group. I'm thinking of applying a sort of path grouping to hairs which line up on Y, but X and Z might be useful, too, for some kind of layered styling.
I mainly find the rotation tools in the Hair Room unmanageable. The translation and scaling tools aren't as bad. I think paths could help with rotation.
I may be thinking fairly small. If anyone has any thoughts about tools which could be useful, please let us know. :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.
