Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 18 2:50 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.

Subject: SetCurrentCamera driving me mad...

I have a small problem with a python script. See the enclosed snippet below: scene.SetCurrentCamera(Front) scene.Render() fileName = app.path + "f.bmp" scene.SaveImage('bmp', fileName) scene.SetCurrentCamera(Back) scene.Render() fileName = app.path + "b.bmp" scene.SetCurrentCamera(Front) It works fine, except for the SetCurrentCamera statements. I need to do a lot of these renders, and the script would save me days of work. Any ideas? /Troberg

I'm a software developer by trade... but I haven't really played around with PPP's Python implementation... thanks for giving me an excuse. You need to reference the camera by a name it understands (the documentation is very sketchy). I chose to reference it by it's external name... so as an example... Replace "scene.SetCurrentCamera(Front)" with "scene.SetCurrentCamera(scene.Actor("Front Camera"))" Hope this helps.
