Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 18 2:50 am)

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.

Attached Link: An example object model for another application

I found the PDF documentation for Poser 6 Python in a PDF file that was installed with Poser. I'm not too impressed. Although it's got all the information it could do with an object model in graphical form and some examples would not go a miss.

Is there an better manual for Poser 7?
Has anyone drawn up an object model?

No, it contains the same level of information.
PhilC mentioned in a post at CP, that he's writing a beginners guide, so that is likely to be a more comprehensive treatment.

Poser Python doesn't really have enough of an object model to warrant drawing a diagram.

*Quote: "Poser Python doesn't really have enough of an object model to warrant drawing a diagram."
*I get similar kinds of comments from the developers in the office.... There's actualy quite a lot of the model particularly when you come to document it. The fact that some of the objects have lots of methods is also a classical sign that the model has evolved over time.

Here's my first draft in PDF and Open Office formats.

My "Python for Poser 7" manual is now completed. My aim is to provide the document that I would have killed for when I started writing Python scripts. It is 388 pages long, published in PDF format, and contains a full set of bookmarks for easy navigation.

Written by an ex-plumber in terms that I hope a carpenter can understand. :)

Topics include:-

  • Basic Python programming
  • Tkinter
  • Poser's built in GUI elements
  • Poser Python Methods
  • Worked examples

See these store pages for details and sample pages.
