I'd be happy to update EZSkin with new shaders, presets and UI, if others were willing to be involved.

@Snarlygribbly I had never heard of Mixamo. Had to google it, could tell if it was a paid thing or not? Being adobe, I imagine you need one of their subscription plans though. I do have VWD though. Would be interested to see what your coming up with. I have been wanting to get back into 3D rendering and delve into animation but keep putting it off because of how daunting it feels.

Hi everyone,
News does get around, doesn't it? :)
Anyway, I am home now and, hopefully, on the road to recovery.
I'm also looking forward to getting back to Poser - the medical issues have meant that I haven't been able to play with Poser for a few days.
Before I went into hospital, I was having fun with animations - something I'd never explored before!
I have been able to make Poser-compatible BVH files from the excellent Mixamo animations (I had to go back to scripting to do that), and am now exploring the amazing VWD product (available in the store here) by my friend Gérald. Is there anybody else doing anything similar? It would be fun to have someone to talk to about Mixamo and VWD, is all.

Cheers,
Snarly

EZDome works fine in Poser 13.
I have been using it myself with no problem.
I have also converted the Poser 13 HDRI starting scenes to EZDome scenes.
Also, I get better shadows with EZDome - the Poser 13 shadow catcher is making shadows much sharper than the other shadows in the scene.

Still, the Poser 13 shadow catcher is much easier to use than EZDome, so that's a good thing.

Hello,
Sadly, Structure died some time ago, so there will be no more updates to this script.
When he began developing it, I did give him a whole bunch of code as a starting point. it looks like he added some options and a user interface, which is good.

When I get the chance, I'll take a look and see if there's anything that needs fixing.

Thanks for the very lovely welcome back :)
I'm having a lot of fun exploring this fab new version of Poser, and looking forward to being part of this great community of artists again.
I don't know if I'll be doing any coding this time around - I'm just enjoying digging through my old runtimes to remember what's in them.
I did find a couple of unreleased scripts, but the date last updated on them is 2020, so it might be best to leave them alone now.
For now, I just want to start making pictures again :)

So… I did my first render in gazillions of years, it seems :)
This was just to check that stuff was properly installed and working.
A few folk from an ancient runtime got to play together on a hillside.
I have to admit - I've almost forgotten how to use Poser, but it's coming back to me.

Wow, thank you for fixing all of that so quickly.

Like with SceneFixer, I've uploaded it and listed it as EZSkin 3.1 (Updated version maintained by Y-Phil).
Hopefully yourself and Snarly are happy with that, if either of you wish for any changes please let me know.

I also included the installation instructions and the original manuals from EZSkin in the zip too.

I'd like to thank Y-Phil for keeping these scripts alive.
Kudos to the Poser community.

I'm happy to share the uncompiled source code of any of my scripts to anyone who wants it.
Most of it is already available, I think.

Dear @Snarlygribbly would you mind to give me the source code of the Scene Fixer? I mean: on cobrablade, the zip  only contains the .pyc.
Thank you in advance.

PM me an email address, and I'll send it.

I'm hosting a Zoom meeting on Saturday, 2nd October @ 10pm UTC+1 (5pm New York time) for a few EZDome users.
It's mostly going to be an informal chat about how to get the most of the script, but it'll also be a fun chance to meet some of you.

If you want to join in, just send me a sitemail and if there's still enough room I'll send you an invite :)
I want to keep the meeting small and friendly, so there's only a few places available…

Hi folks,

I've just caught up with this thread, and would like to clarify one or two things.

First, I am very grateful for all the kind things that have been said :)

Secondly, I personally welcome the introduction of Python 3. While it has inevitably caused some problems, it also means that Poser is now set up properly for future developments. There wasn't really much choice in the matter anyway, and all our efforts would be best targeted at making the most of the new opportunities, rather than agonizing over the issues that it has caused.

Thirdly, while I can no longer spare very much time for Poser, it remains very special to me and i shall continue to support it as much as I can. Right now, that won't be very much, but I'll do what I can :)

Fourthly, Bondware did enter into discussions with me about how to ensure the ongoing availability of my scripts, and made a kind offer. It wouldn't be right to go into the details, but things didn't work out, and that was partly due to my decision not to accept any financial offers (this is a hobby for me, and money changes that in a way I don't want). Please just trust that Bondware are doing what they can :)

Finally, The Snow Machine can only work properly in Firefly at the moment due to the lack of micropoly displacement in Superfly. I have promised a couple of people that the Snow Machine will be the next thing I convert to Poser 12 though, and I'll do it as soon as I get a bit of free time. I'll see if I can do it this weekend (but no promises).

Love from Snarly :)

Hi, I've only just noticed this thread! I wrote a script a while ago to fix this problem, as it annoyed me too. The script re-docks the document window and changes NOTHING else. I'll get CobraBlade to add it to his site.

Ha ha! Sorry about that outdated link. I've changed it now to point to the link given by CobraBlade, to whom I am most grateful for hosting my free stuff.
