i made almost 100 head morphs using MAX 4, then i made a lit Delphi app to generate random pose files using this morphs. Up to 10 morphs are used in each PZ2. Only 10% of the generated faces are usable, but all of them need a bit of refine.

This WAS my problem ... i had a long list of morphs in my parameters dials windows, and i wanted to see only the non-zeroed.

Here cames the extense ockhams script lib. I dowloaded a lot of them, studied 2 or 3 hours, and - voil- my first python script.

#Hidde all zeroed head morphs
import poser
import string

scene = poser.Scene()
fig = scene.CurrentFigure()
neck = fig.ActorByInternalName("neck")
head = fig.ActorByInternalName("head")

for Parm in head.Parameters():
        if Parm.IsMorphTarget():
                if Parm.Value() == 0.0:
                        # print Parm.Name()
                        # print Parm.Value()
                        Parm.SetHidden(1)
scene.SelectActor(neck)
scene.SelectActor(head)

Are you scary ? So, let me show the other :

#UnHidde all head morphs
import poser
import string

scene = poser.Scene()
fig = scene.CurrentFigure()
neck = fig.ActorByInternalName("neck")
head = fig.ActorByInternalName("head")

for Parm in head.Parameters():
  if Parm.IsMorphTarget():
    Parm.SetHidden(0)
scene.SelectActor(neck)
scene.SelectActor(head)

Works fine, very useful, at least for me. Please, send your applauds to ockham, that thaught Python to a jackass. Littles scripts, but a great content !

Thank you ockham

Yep, that's the best way to learn programming! Grab an example, change until it serves your needs.

I applaud all this forums members for their generous response to our questions and sharing of their scripts. Many of us are new to the Python language and your help has made learning both the language and the poser specific stuff so much easier. thanks all, ken
