Yes, Poser 4 Pro Pack is required for the upgrade price. If you don't have the Pro Pack the price is $179.

Try deleting your Poser/Runtime/Prefs/Poser UI Prefsx.xml file. HTH, -Jack

Actually you can delete lights. It's a little obfuscated, but it is possible. Try this: scene = poser.Scene() actor = scene.Actor("Light 1") scene.SelectActor(actor) scene.DeleteCurrentProp() -Jackmon

To delete an actor you should first make it the current actor (scene.SelectActor()), and then call scene.DeleteProp(). Not as clean as it should be but it does work. something like: ball = scene.Actor("ball_1") scene.SelectActor(ball) scene.DeleteCurrentProp()

Check out Poser/Runtime/Python/poserScripts/Utility/CompressPoserFiles.py

You can use the scene.SaveImage() method and loop over the frame range you wish to render.

Just wanted to thank everyone on the forum and those who've been in contact with me via email for their suggestions and critiques. You guys have been the major motivation for the Python additions and fixes (and they are pretty numerous) in the soon-to-be-appearing update. We probably haven't been able to add every request received, but we've added a lot. Specifically spline/linear/constant control over animation curves has been added, as has actor key-framing. Per figure unimesh support has been added, so you can create a single per-figure geometry (especially useful for export or game development). Fixes to the ImExporter methods. Geometry tex vert/set/poly support. Weld goals. Vertex weights. And lots of other fixes and additions... And we'll keep going. As you guys keep pushing the limits of the technology, we'll keep fortifying the foundation. Keep up the amazing work. Thanks again, Jack Walther Python Guy, Curious Labs

It should be fairly simple to write something that would scan through a script in question and look for key-words that are potentially dangerous... i.e. commands that create, modify, or delete files, etc. Such a scanner could be written in Python itself.
