I must ponder your explanation. It sounds like it explains everything about my question, but I must ponder it until grokking occurs. May have to wait until I take a shower, if ya ken.

Meanwhile, being able to get dials from the material room to the poser room parameters/properties panel by turning on animation is Very Incredible and I am majorly jazzed.

*Most* of my background, btw, is not that of retired photographer, although there is that and I was good, but instead primarily that of a retired programmer, going back some 56+ years, and while mostly Python is "Just Another Structured Language", I also only ran into it about a year before I retired and then only briefly, so there are "corners" where my Python Knowledge Map says "Here There Be Dragons", and particularly as regards using it with Poser. And I'm thinking you know a great deal about those corners.

I hate Python's indentation method of doing structure. Bleh! Give me C# any day. Or C++. Or C. Or Delphi. Et al, down to and including Algol W -- and NONE OF THEM DO IT THIS WAY.

Just saw your latest post with the spotlight and prop ball. Nice.

As a photographer, mostly I had no control over lighting temperature, although I had to be aware of it. But strobes and hot lights and natural lights never came with a temperature adjustment. Having control of it is awesome!
