I'm pretty sure render settings are saved per scene file, I get different render dimmensions and settings when I open up different files. That said, however, being able to programtically set render settings would be a nice nod to the whole DEV -> Test - > Production work flow.

Suppose you just want a small render on your local machine just to test what the final output might look like before you spin up your Cloud Machines, I could see merrit in that. Then the Cloud machines would render at your "Production" level render settings.

Is there any documentation on Python scripting for Poser? Can I excute a python script outside of poser itself? Python scripting is also a new area for me.
