Posting code on these forums is quite a challenge, as anybody who's tried knows only too well.

cam = scn.ActorByInternalName("FACE_CAMERA")
...etc...

Hopefully there's a code snippet above - one line, followed by another that says '...etc...', and a screenshot attached showing how it was done, which is I think the easiest way that I'm aware of. As long as your code doesn't contain backslashes. This forum does things with backslashes that would confuse a professional magician !

The screenshot below is from the 'Markdown' link below the post editing box, explaining the use of the triple backtick

My aide-mémoire for this is:

"Holy triple backticks batman, it's some correctly displayed code ! "

"Yes Robin, but don't forget that the Joker holds the backslashes !"


The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
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).
