Hello, I'm thinking about purchasing this software. When using a demo and exporting the tracking information to a poser script I get this error message after running the script in poser.

Granite I believe this was designed for poser 6. I'm using poser 12. Is there a way to correct this? Here's the start of the exported script.

# Poser Exporter: 

# Exported Sun, Dec 18, 2022 02:04:32 AM

# Intended for Poser version 6

scene = poser.Scene();

maker = scene.MovieMaker();

# TODO: unsupported--- scene.SetFramesPerSecond(30);

# TODO: set number of frames for bottom timeline

scene.SetOutputRange(0, 201);

maker.OutputStartFrame(0);

maker.OutputEndFrame(201);

scene.SetOutputRes(960, 720);

maker.SetOutputRes(960, 720);

scene.SetBackgroundMovie("C:\\Users\\spart\\Downloads\\tracking\\Walking to the beach through wood camera00000.ifl");

trkgeom = poser.NewGeometry();

Previous versions of Poser use a different Python version, that's probably the issue here. The latest Poser 12 is using "Python 3.7.9 ".

Maybe there's a way of porting the old code, or you could ask the SynthEyes people about it.

There's also a Python forum here at Renderosity where you can look for help.

Unfortunately, it's up to the vendor to update the script so that it may work in P12.  Other users might give you guidance but they cannot provide a solution without exclusive permission from the creators.

So the creator of the program contacted me saying this:

So the necessary prerequisite for updating the SynthEyes to Poser export is for someone to supply me with a description of the python changes that have been made and the overall current documentation of poser python.  (Note that python 2.7 vs 3 doesn't really matter here, it's what functions poser exposes.)

In my preliminary search, I don't see any information on this. As I'm quite busy on other areas in SynthEyes, the way to speed such updates would be to track down that documentation and forward it to me, perhaps with the assistance of the Poser folks. Hopefully they haven't made major changes and its just a few minor tweaks that can be easily accomplished.

So does anyone know where I can find it so I can send it to him?

It's built into Poser's python shell. I tried to post it but it's too long.

Open the shell Window>Addon>Python Shell

Type:

help(poser)

copy that and send it to SynthEyes.

Are you talking about this?

I doesn't seem too long.

Sorry for the double post I forgot to quote you.

I believe I got it. I didn't know I had to hit either the space bar or enter to go down Pages or lines. But it was tricky and took me an hour to get it right. I had to hold space for a while because the command prompt automatically closed after a certain period of time. I eventually found out that when it goes past a certain line it closes the command prompt automatically. So I had to carefully keep pushing and copying as I go so I wouldn't go past a certain point to make sure I copied It All Before The Prompt closes. 

I sent it just now to the app's Devs and now I just have to wait for a reply.

Thanks all. I will update you

Its been a while since I had the need to import tracking data from external apps, but IIRC (depending on app you're exporting from__?) you can export the solved camera in COLLADA format and import that file into Poser, no script needed... Like I say, its been a while things may have changed...

It didn't work for me. No animation was imported and the tracking points looked weird.

In fact, one day, I tried to import a character and its pose, from daz to Poser. The advice I received was to transfer the character using the Collada format, and the pose information using the BVH format.
Could it work for you?

Can anyone help?

BTW there is a potentially useful call in that document that would let the frame rate in poser be set automatically by SynthEyes. There is an additional required argument value called an "increment". Can you see from the poser user interface or documentation what that value is and should be? (It looks like the frame rate can only be an integer, so perhaps the increment might be a way to adjust to the non-integer rates typically used these days).
