Hope that helps

May I have one, too, pretty please??

I don't think that's possible, all UI configuration is stored in the files in the prefs folder and they are only read at startup. Even if you manipulate them, you'd have to restart Poser. martin

Missing a ")" at the end there! ;)

I got the mail 2 days ago, but all I can download is zero-byte files :(

When you include Scripting, please make it Python (or Ruby), but not Perl or (even worst) Javascript. Since both Poser and Vue already have Python support and a lot of users of these also use Carrara (I presume?), you would already have a base of users ready to dig into Carrara Scripting. Cheers: where did you get the impression that there are more Perl users and better docs? I don't want to start another skirmish in the neverending language wars, but I also don't want to let that stand as it is ;)

XFX3d: I'm not sure what you mean. I used the Python binding for ImageMagick which is compiled against Python 2.4, so this doesn't work in Poser itself. As far as I know, there isn't a binary package of PythonMagick for Python 2.2. And for the return way, you get as far as a PICT file. BTW, I just finished coding the PICT to RSR part, which is a bit more tedious than to simply extract the PICT, since you have to build the whole RSR. I will try to compile the PythonMagick sources against python22.dll, but I wouldn't hold out much hope, I fear I will just stumble around not knowing what to do ;) martin

Currently it's oneway from RSR to PNG and works in two steps: it first extracts the PICT from the RSR and then converts the PICT to PNG. The extraction should work in Poser since it is plain Python, but the PICT -> PNG conversion uses PythonMagick, a binding for the ImageMagick library. This could be replaced by a call to an external batch script (ImageMagick's convert or Irfanview for example). Or somebody knows another library to convert it in Python (I didn't find anything else) ? martin

I wrote a small Python script to convert RSRs to PNGs a while back, since I couldn't find any. So if anyone's interested ... martin

Veritas777: But you do have to have your runtimes in your LibraryPrefs.xml, if I'm not mistaken, otherwise the obj/texture-files are not found. At least that happens when I load the library stuff with my little import tool (which is, I guess, the same basic stuff Tromnek does). martin

As Emacs was already mentioned, I would suggest ViM (www.vim.org), but be warned, the learning curve is fairly steep! Ah, but the rewards ... martin

Hi!

Try this:

• get the actors list for the current figure:

actors = poser.Scene().CurrentFigure().Actors()

• loop through the actors and get the first one which is a body part with the "IsBodyPart" method

• the internal name of the actor should be PartName:FigureNumber

so you should be able to extract the figure number after the colon

hope that helps
