Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 18 2:50 am)

We now have a ProPack Section in the Poser FreeStuff.
Check out the new Poser Python Wish List thread. If you have an idea for a script, jot it down and maybe someone can write it. If you're looking to write a script, check out this thread for useful suggestions.

Also, check out the official Python site for interpreters, sample code, applications, cool links and debuggers. This is THE central site for Python.

You can now attach text files to your posts to pass around scripts. Just attach the script as a txt file like you would a jpg or gif. Since the forum will use a random name for the file in the link, you should give instructions on what the file name should be and where to install it. Its a good idea to usually put that info right in the script file as well.

Subject: Select Node(s) In The Material Room ?

I've checked the Shader Tree Methods and Shader Node Methods sections of the PoserPython manual and can't see any way to select a node or group of nodes.

I'm writing wacros to add useful node groups, and want to ensure that all the nodes I create are selected so that they can be easily repositioned by hand.

And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.

*also available in ShareCG, DAZ, and HiveWire3D flavours (the DeviantArt and CGBytes flavour have been discontinued).

I do not believe that option is available.

Thanks Phil, that was the conclusion I'd come to - but since I often overlook things I thought it best to ask.

you need to access the shadertree method and work through the nodes. there is no way I know to select a group of nodes.

I have a couple scripts that add nodes to the shadertree to do like tatoo overlays.

The selection of nodes does appear to be a UI-only thing, as gadgetgirl suggested here https://community.hivewire3d.com/threads/poserpython-selecting-node-s-in-the-material-room.811/. Bagginsbill also confirmed what you and PhilC said, i.e. that there's no way to do it https://forum.smithmicro.com/topic/138/poserpython-can-i-set-material-room-nodes-as-selected
