Quote - Python will give you acces to the object's geometry:-

scene = poser.Scene()
actor = scene.CurrentActor()
geom = actor.Geometry()
verts = geom.Vertices()
worldverts = geom.WorldVertices()

print "Local Vertices:-"
print "----------------------------"
i = 0
while i < 10:
   print verts[i].X(),
   print verts[i].Y(),
   print verts[i].Z()
   i = i + 1

print

print "World Vertices:-"
print "----------------------------"
i = 0
while i < 10:
   print worldverts[i].X(),
   print worldverts[i].Y(),
   print worldverts[i].Z()
   i = i + 1

Does that help any?

 

 

Thank you!

Your answer is quite helpfull.

1. what is the origin for local vertices? the center of the actor?

2)So, if I can get the 3D location of the camera pinhole,
I can calculate the distance of the vertices from the pinhole.

Ideally, what I would like is this:

For a 2D rendered image, I would like to know for every 2D pixel how far the respective vertex is from the camera. in this way I can create a "depth image".

If you are familiar with the Kinect (Microsoft's new camera) you can get "depth images" as I described above.

3. Do you think I can create "depth images" from POSER?

 

 

Thanks in advanve for your help!
