Well obviously you can't change the UVs without changing ANY geometry since that would include the UV data. That has to be changed for switching! But no change of geometry file, no change of X,Y,Z etc.

 

Quote - a python script that would allow on the fly switching of UVs in poser would be invaluable, and along with the other new features in Poser it could also breathe some life into older figures and meshes. it would have to be redistributable or built right into Poser though - otherwise whats the point? if you require that a customer to download and install a third party UV switching python script in order to switch UVs, you may as well just ask them to download UVMapper and do it.

Well, I may have lost the final/last step in the process but I should be able to recreate it without TOO much hassle, though I'm nowhere near as proficient as the real Python Gurus. I'd also have to think about how to organise it properly were it to be the basis of anything redistributable rather than as a simple technology test - does anyone fancy actually making new UV sets for any characters? Or to put it another way - is it worth me putting in the effort to make something reasonably flexible and robust rather than just to irritatingly prove the point that actually Poser CAN do that? ;) I'm lazy. I don't want to expend effort on something that seems "cool" only to find no-one actually wants to USE it.
