Hello all,

I work extensively with the new Dependant Parameter Editor. In my last creation to be found in the freestuff area (ERC Trajectory Prop), I used the valueOpTimes and valueOpDivideBy operators. Unable to do that in Poser, I inserted the code directly in the pp2 file. It is easy, but I had to switch back and forth between WordPad and Poser to check the result.

I would like to know if there is a way to insert these other operators directly in Poser. I am thinking of a python script doing the task as such or a python script making an injection pose to selected actor with the refering Master.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions.

Hello all,

Finally, I found the ERC Builder script of Ockham.  I think this script can be adapted to include the other ERC operator. I am not very good in Python programming, but I will look at. Perharps Ockham or someone can update the script.

I'm still here, sometimes!

Quote - Finally, I found the ERC Builder script of Ockham.

I don't remember seeing that on Ockham's site. Sounds interesting though. Do you have a link please?

Hello Lesbentley,

In fact, after my request, I found the script in my list of Python scripts that I accumulated over time.  I cannot remember where I got it. Yes, it is not on the Ockham site.

However you have this script because it is you that asked for at Ockham. I saw a lot of exchange in 2005 between you and Ockham on the RNA site about this script. It is an old story?

Now, I am trying the script in various Poser version. It appears to work well in all version. I only found some curious behaviors related to the creation of New ValueParm channels. According to Ockham documentation, ValueParm cannot be injected by a Pose. In one test, the script generated the slave code referring to the new Master and Poser 7 appears to create the ValueParm channel. Unable to reproduce the effect using PoserPro2012. I wiil continue test.

Have a good night

Hello,

Since the script appears to be difficult to find, perharps Ockham can put it on its site. I know that it is obsoleted with the new Dependant parameter tool, but as you see, old thing can be recuperated and adapted for other tasks.

Ockham has a lot of old scritps that may be useful. I saw an Anaglyph composition script for genereating stereo images in red blue format.  He also done a script to generate multiple render around an object. It should very interesing to have access to all these old scripts just to have a basis for future development. But it may be difficult for Ockham to trace back all that. Personnaly, I had a lot of old usefull things but never had the time (and motivation) to do a good "housekeeping". To conclude, many thanks to Ockham for provide us with all the scripts.

Lesbentley: If Ockham cannot provide you with this script, I can sent to you the version that I had. With the permission of Ockham, I can put this script here attached to a message.

Hello all,

The matter is a little bit Out of Topic.

The more I search in the Renderosity forum, the more I found very interesing things. This thread was initiated by the use of various ERC operators in my ERC Trajectory Prop free stuff item. Believe or not, I found a old thread directly related the creation of the parabolic curve similar to what I simulated with the prop. The thread is at:

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=1238626&page=1#message_4034436

You will not surprise  that VK is the main participant to this thread. As I said before, old thing  can be used for next development. The only problem is to find the information before starting the project.

Hello all,

I have done my work. You will find in the freestuff section (link below) a script to insert the classical ERC opertors. The script uses the Poser GUI because it was easy for me to program the codes. The script can insert operator between figures, between figures and other objects (props, cameras, lights).

However, becoming more familiar with Tkinter, I think that I will be able to adapt the script of Ockham to insert the classical operators using the new codes and methods provided by Poser 9 and PoserPro 2012.

Thank to Ockham for the ERCbuilder script that help me to solve issues related to the design of my script. I learn more about doing list and how to design the Tkinter interface. When the script will be ready, I will update the ERC Insertion  freestuff item to include the script.

Thank you for this, I've been using Ockham's ERCbuilder for a long time and I'll try this also in the first chance I'll need to insert ERC on a character :thumbupboth:

Hello all,

I have updated the Python scripts to insert ERC operators. You have now a script with a Tkinter interface. The script is based on the ERCbuilder script of Ockham for the listing of actors and parameters. So, it is a collaborative work even if Master Ockham didn't verified my first work with Tkinter. Hope that this script will be useful for some of you.

Allstereo

Will the characters only work in poser versions after 7?

Hello,

The scripts work only for Poser 9 and PoserPro 2012 because they use the new codes and methods related to ERC operator. In Poser 7, your can inject  the ERC code with a pose file but you cannot directly affect the active Poser scene as with my scripts.

Allstereo

Cool! thanks so much for the reply!

Hello all,

The script using Poser GUI had a bug with prop when only props are in a scene. I am not correcting the script. Will post by end of the day.Sorry for the bug. I have done all the tests with both figure and prop in a scene.
