Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 02 3:16 pm)

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.

Hey, Alright, I love this Python business...very easy to do lots of stuff...here's what I am doing, and the problem I am having... I am trying to make a realtime "puppet" using my joystick and poser, basically I have a loop, each time through the loop the puppet is updated based on the information from the joystick. Finally the loop calls scene.Draw() to redraw the screen. It works amazing, very fast and very smooth...only problem is, whenever the mouse is clicked (or as far as I can tell, whenever the OS tries to do something in the background) the scene stops updating....now I know that it is updating the character (from the joystick), I believe it is just not calling scene.Draw() correctly...as soon as the loop exits (click on joystick button) the screen magically updates and everything is in the place where it should be.... Any ideas on work-arounds (maybe disabling the mouse)???

Can you post the script? Did you try using scene.DrawAll() ?

I've tried this script, and the problem seems to be how often you ask for a Draw(). I put in an if statement to check if the values from the joystick had actually changed. If they had, I update the parameter values, then called Draw(). It works well, even with other programs running in the background. Regards, Jesse

Wow this morning I was just thinking about this very same project that was mentioned a while ago.
