::Sigh:: If only Poser included Perl support. ;-) I know absolutely nothing about Python, or even if the following is possible:

VR Worx is a Quicktime VR authoring studio that takes a series of images and makes a Quicktime VR movie out of them.

One of the features is an "object" Quicktime VR movie with a series of images as the "object" is rotated on a 360 axis (in 10 increments) around its X axis, and while the camera is moved from -180 to 180 (in 10 increments) from a point of origin.

Is anything like this even remotely possible to do in Poser with Python scripting? I've looked through the Python addendum that comes with Poser 5 but couldn't find anything specifically for controlling a figure's rotation along its X axis while at the same time controlling a camera through incremental steps.

Of course, I suppose the same effect could be achieved by simply rotating the figure along its X & Y axis and keeping the camera stationary.

Any help would be appreciated.
