thanks for the previous crucial help from nruddock and PhilC.

it would be nice to have a script to reverse the pose of a character.
i got the idea from the folowing script.
this is a script i downloaded.
sometimes it works but the result is not always what i expect.
i can send images to show this.

Swaptotal.py

Flip the symmetry of the whole figure with one button push.

#------------------------------------------------------------

import poser
scene = poser.Scene()

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In currently selected figure, swap right and left.

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
try:
  TheFigure = scene.CurrentFigure()
except:
  exit

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
scene.SetFrame(0)

TheFigure.SwapTop()
TheFigure.SwapBottom()
MidlineList = ["BODY","Neck","Upper Neck","Head","Chest","Abdomen","Hip","Left Eye","Right Eye"]
for Name in MidlineList:
    try:
        OneActor = TheFigure.Actor(Name)
    except:
        pass
    try:
        TwistParm = OneActor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeYROT)
        TwistParm.SetValue(-TwistParm.Value())
    except:
        pass
    try:
        SideParm = OneActor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeZROT)
        SideParm.SetValue(-SideParm.Value())
    except:
        pass

Rotoscoper has that and a number of other posing options.

I can understand why it doesn't always work: the MidlineList is not valid for all figures (this one is valid for Victoria 2 and Michael 2, and will probably work on Posette, Dork and the Millenium 3 figures). It also won't work on non-English versions of Poser.

I've rewritten the script to swap all figures, independent of Poser language and body part names. See attached file. Save as SwapFigure.py.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter

thank you.

i have done lots of research to understand poserpython.
you are one of the few who does.
Rotoscoper  sounds very capable and i going to check it out.
i am looking at learning more about poserpython.
it is dramatically under-doucumented.
is the python code in Rotoscoper visible?
maybe we can talk.

svdl

thank you.

your code is quicker and more reliable.
however, the result is still varied.
i am sending my test results as a jpg.
it shows an initial pose that is changed and changed again.
i am trying to understand poserpython but it is a challenge.
you know that better than i do.

 

Hi Dennis!

Excuse me if this is a silly question, when I swap a pose i go to "Figure/Symmetry/Swap right and left", I guess you are after something more?

Im just curoius what the result of your script shall be?
