I'd swear that this is the third time I have posted this. I must be losing it!
I have a couple of questions about your Stereo Python Script.
I took me a while to get it to work, I found that after I use it I have to click the setup button and then the render button, before it will work again, don't know if this is normal or not but it works as long as I do it that way.
Not sure I follow here. You only need to click the Set Up button once. After than, you only need to click the Render button. Clicking Set Up again will probably force more than one convergence plane to be created, and that could confuse it.
Quote - My problem is that every time I use it and then go back to the Main screen, the Stereo Button has disappeared, and I have to set it up all over again. How do I get the button to become permanent?
I have no idea. To be honest, I’ve never done it that way. I’ve manually edited the .py file with button definitions in it. I see what you mean though - the buttons just reset.
Alternatively, you can put the Stereo Images folder in
Runtime/Python/poserScripts/
Do this before you start Poser up.
It will appear in the Scripts menu - you’ll get all the scripts in there, not just the ones that the buttons link to. I’ll have to clean up some of them so that you only get the scripts you need. Until then, the scripts you need are:
Set Up
Render
Render-Queue
reset
The rest can be safely ignored.
Quote - Second by default it saves the images in Photoshop .psd format. Is there a way to have it save in .tiff or .jpg format that Stereo Picture Maker can read? The way it is now I have to open them all in Photoshop and convert them.
You’ll need to edit the file called Render.py
1- Open it in a plain text editor - Notepad (Windows) or TextWrangler (on a Mac - I happen to use this app’s bigger brother BBEdit)
2 - Locate this line:
fileType="psd"
3 - Change it to
fileType="png"
And save.
Quote - Other then that it is working great. Here's a test image I did with it.

Great! Looks like you have the left/right images the wrong way round though! It works great if I swap my glasses over!
Hope this all helps you - as I said, I’m using Poser Pro 2010 on a Mac. I’ve no way of testing this on Windows, so I’m stabbing in the dark a bit here.
