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.
