Call me insatiable, but now that I've gotten into this scripting thing I see a potential for using it in a different way. Here's the wish or dream: a limited Poser rendering engine that could be incorporated into a Win application as a DLL. The rendering engine would behave sort of like the Windows AVI player, reading a PZ3 file as its startup commands and then moving the figures in response to Python commands issued through the MCI command system. This would make user-controlled (or math function-controlled) animations possible within the context of a multimedia program. (I've been doing a crude version of this by generating a set of "flip cards" with Poser and then making them appear in sequence under user or math command; but this would be much more effective if the actual rendered figure could be moved directly!)
