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: A query about gimbals

If ac is an actor, then ac.Gimbal() gives "Get the gimbal information for the actor. This method returns a tuple of tuples. The first sub-tuple contains the gimbal order (e.g. (1, 2, 0) for Y, Z, X). The second contains the parameters that correspond to the x, y, and z rotations respectively". OK, and I have got it to work. But how within Poser Python can I set the gimbal order of xrotate yrotate zrotate of an actor ac?

Did you ever get an answer for this, Anthony? From what I can see, there is no symmetric actor.SetGimbal() method to apply a change to the rotation evaluation order, as can be done manually by the user in the Joint Editor. This seems to be yet another example where the Poser Python API woefully lags behind what's possible in the UI, preventing any kind of automated construction of a figure by python script.

I'd suggest this is worth requesting from the new Renderosity support staff now responsible for Poser.

Thanks; but how can I get a message to the "Renderosity support staff"?

You can visit Poser Software Support to open a ticket (you don't need a login for that), or just email JennBlake admin@posersoftware.com
