Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Feb 05 6:41 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.

Spline.jpg Hello, Does anyone know the meaning of the parameters "sl 1" and "sm" in the "keys" area of a parameter?

Can they be modified and with what consequence? Thank you for your help

Hello, It´s Pz3 Files.


Miss B ( ) posted Sat, 24 October 2020 at 6:24 PM

Pz3 files are Scene files, and they contain everything saved in a Scene you're working on, so those parameters wouldn't necessarily be listed in a Prop, Light, Character or Pose file. I never got into the Keys in Poser files, so have no clue how you would edit them. I would think those Keys might change if you change settings of whatever objects are in the Scene.

Hopefully Structure will come back here and have a better answer for you once he knows it's a Scene file you're looking at.

From Kuroyume's CR2 File Spec:

SORRY - THIS FORUM TOTALLY SCREWED UP THE CUT-AND-PASTED EXTRACT- I'll repost in a moment


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).

Thank you, as I've never known what the individual Keys were for, especially since I don't do animation, and never open a Scene file to check such information.

For many years (I think at least from 2007 to 2015, maybe longer) Robert Templeton (Kuroyume) had a CG website called Kuroyume's Development Zone. Thare was a section called "The Unofficial Poser CR2 File Spec". At some point that section was converted to a downloadable PDF document - the copy I have appears to be from 2014.

However, some time between 2015 and 2018 the website vanished for good, and I've been unable to find the document anywhere else online.

The Wayback Machine may have snapshots of the site, but I can't remember the exact URL. I tried a few obvious ones but they didn't work.

I'm happy to send you a copy - I'm fairly certain there are no copyright restrictions. Just send me a PM

Just found the correct URL. The Wayback Machine appears to have lots of snapshots

I can access snapshots of the HTML versions of the document pages on Wayback Machine using the menu option shown above. But not the PDF.

Was able to find a working link for the pdf on this archive of the site. Web Archive of Kuroyme's Development Zone

Do as it says and right click and save as on the "here" link.

Well, even if you hadn't that was the only link I found that still actually worked, the link to it from the rest of the archived pages I tried just downloaded a corrupt file.
