Quote - The Python version discussion is why I would recommend JavaScript for the tools, ODF. I have a similar problem with the late, lamented MetaForm: it works reasonably well in Poser 6, but because Poser 7 switched Python versions, it dies. And I'm up to Poser Pro 2010 and hoping to upgrade.
I'd hate to see a wonderful tool suddenly go belly-up just because the Python version changes. And it will change; we know that.
I also think that your mesh tools would be very useful as a commercial product to developers.
Wait, does Poser have a Javascript API? Otherwise, I guess you're arguing imbedded in Poser versus standalone, no? Also, I think getting my Numeric-heavy code for the Lux exporter run under Poser 9 required only a miniscule change.
Not that I'd object to using Javascript. It's a fine language, and it's sometimes nice to be able to run stuff in the browser.
