Dear MaCS! Thats a lot of questions- let me see: I try to write some really useful cross-platform tools for Poser, tools that go a bit beyond the normal scope. The Environment Creators are for creating complex lightscapes- like radiosity, but much quicker-, with full interactivity (or as full as I could make it). Other tools are a Zoom Tool for Poser, and so on. If you are really interested, you could take a look at my page, or my page at DAZ. The thing is, that Python isnt well implemented in Poser for Mac- and thats a pity, since I wouldnt care to do without Python myself- makes Poser many times more useful. Therefore, and since I see it as sort of my duty- forgive the serious word, wont you :-)-to treat Mac users the same as my PC users (even though the last are about seven times more in number), Ive been very busy in trying to figure out what exactly was going wrong. What I now did is, of course, only the beginning, but as things stand !AS OF TODAY!, Mac users have *BETTER* Python implementation than PC users (!!!) Which, I think, is absolutely fabulous. And to be honest, something I totally did NOT expect.. :-) Let me tell you, I wish I could work on my PC as I can on the Mac, Poserwise, since today. For now, I implemented my solution only fully in my own programs- Im only human, and have a darling wife-, but its something to build on. I now know I can write things for the Mac that will stand up, and not fail. And I know I will do more things, for the Mac, upon that foundation. So "dkal": let me just say that today a interesting future began for Poser on the Mac.. I cant express it better.. And "Dan": DONt give up on PythonMac! Its incredible, I promise you! In about two or three weeks time, after I first updated all my Mac programs to get the Max out of them, and after a few other new releases both for PC and Mac, I will then do some free stuff for the Macworld, if I can. Any Environment Creator users between you: GET the update right now!! I asked DAZ to place the update right away, but simply couldnt wait, I thought it was that important. And if youre not one of my users: still: GET that update and study it. Dont be afraid to ask help of me if you have to- I really like to help (but I trust youll respect my time a little too) Yours, and happy rendering, Paul Christiaan
