Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 02 3:16 pm)
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: align nodes in P5?
Alas, not so. Poser 5 Python does not support the material room. You can have Python align the nodes by reading the mt5 text file, altering the node locations and writing them back to file. That's the best that P5 Python can do.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
how do i do that? (or is that just edit the values by hand?)

The workaround is complicated. First, your Python script must open a .mt5 file for reading. Not too difficult, it's a plain text file. Second, your script must read in the file, line by line, examine the line for a node location, store the line in a data structure, and if it's a line designating a node location, mark it. When all the lines have been processed, you can calculate the new node positions, alter the lines in your data structure, and then write out the data structure to a (new) .mt5 file. And I'm not even sure whether P5 Python can load a material from the library... In short - quite a lot of work.

thank you---not that i understand that either! i think i'll just try editing the nodes pos locations by hand.....arrgghhh

> Quote - Where did you DL the original script from?It was probably the script by stewer called "align_Nodes.py".
Link is to his Poser page, where you can download the script.
*"is there a P5 python script to align nodes?"
*The "fix materials node coordinates" Python script on the scripts page in my sigline tries to be a standalone which will do pretty much what svdl outlines. Not brilliant code, but perhaps it can help....

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.

is there a P5 python script to align nodes? i downloaded a P6 version but don't know how to modify it into P5 (if it can even be modified)
here's the P6 version i have:
import poser
def align(mat):
scene = poser.Scene()
tree = mat.ShaderTree()
root = tree.Node(0)
for node in tree.Nodes():
if (node == root):
continue
(x,y) = node.Location()
node.SetLocation((x-x%220)+11, y)
tree.UpdatePreview()
mats = poser.Scene().WacroMaterials()
if (mats == None):
poser.DialogSimple.MessageBox(
"Please select a material first.")
else:
for mat in mats:
align(mat)
