Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 02 3:16 pm)

We now have a ProPack Section in the Poser FreeStuff.
Check out the new Poser Python Wish List thread. If you have an idea for a script, jot it down and maybe someone can write it. If you're looking to write a script, check out this thread for useful suggestions.

Also, check out the official Python site for interpreters, sample code, applications, cool links and debuggers. This is THE central site for Python.

You can now attach text files to your posts to pass around scripts. Just attach the script as a txt file like you would a jpg or gif. Since the forum will use a random name for the file in the link, you should give instructions on what the file name should be and where to install it. Its a good idea to usually put that info right in the script file as well.

Subject: What about Mimic-like Python scripting?

I have no knowledge of Python apart from what I have read in this forum, but I am intrigued by its capabilities. But I was specifically wondering if Python scripts would be capable of providing lipsync to Poser models (similar to, if not exactly like, LipSync's Mimic program). Shouldn't this be feasible? If so, what would be required to accomplish such a thing? As i've said, I have no real knowledge of Python for Poser (yet) so maybe i'm just pipedreaming. Any comments are welcome.

I've been thinking about this, and probably will do it sooner or later. Python by itself couldn't do it, but with the help of an external wave-analysis program, it should be possible. Python could select the point in the .WAV that corresponds to each frame in the animation, and call the external program to analyze 100 msec of the wave starting there. The wave analyzer could (minimally) tell Poser to open the lips more when the fundamental freq (voice itself as opposed to the hissing of sibilants)is stronger; it could also check the spectrum and shape the mouth toward rough correspondence to O or E. Anything beyond that would require manual tweaking, I suspect.
