anyone know if Michael 3 and 4, also Victoria 3 and 4 numerical joint parameters can be printed out in their entirety and if so, where can they be obtained.

Not sure what you mean but its all in the cr2 file .

I derived the Poser Dork's endpoints some time ago, using text editor macros (I think I used Crimson Editor, or possibly Notepad++) for import into a spreadsheet. I can't remember the exact method, but shouldn't be too difficult to re-engineer it. If you're delving that deeply into joint parameters you probably have the required skills already. ;)

That is exactly what I was referring too Bob.  I can do it manually but it is quite time consuming. when doing several figures.  I was hoping someone knew of a script  or shortcut method to do this.

Thanks

As I remember it, it was a simple (if repetitive) matter of searching for text strings and copy-and-paste of the data that followed. Someone who was skilled in the art - i.e. not me - could probably knock up a Python script without much trouble. You could try posting a request in the Python forum, see if any of the gurus there have time on their hands.

Dare I ask why you want to do this? Print it out, even?!

I have a script that extracts the endpoints for a loaded figure if thats all you need . Its a python that puts out  actor, parent, endpoint,center in a csv text file .

ok, script is attached , I had to dig through my archives.

It was written when I was looking at trying to transfer rigging to another application.
This is a cutdown version supplying only the actor name, parent name , origin and endpoint.

The manual says endpoint of parent is the startpoint for the child.

You will need to modify the output filename , I use a folder c:temp as a workspace
The output may need a replace all ( with "" but thats easy in any editor.

Thanks! This will be useful if I ever get back onto that project.
