Hi All,
As a time saver I'd like to create some utility MAT poses for Poser 6/7, but I don't know where to start.
Basically I want to have a one-click pose to set the diffuse color for all of V4's shading zones to white while leaving any texture maps connected and intact. I'd also like to have a MAT pose to change the specular color to black on any "skin" material zones.
I've seen this done before, but I haven't used Poser in a long time so I'm kinda clueless :)
Any insight is deeply appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Mec4D has a utility on her product pages that is a python script that allows a change to White, Medium Grey, and Grey :)  Scroll all the way to the bottom to find the URL :)

What you want has been done in various python scripts . I have one at sharecg that sets the diffuse color to grey, it would be easy to amend it to either of your requests.

changing ONLY skin materials would simply require a filter , easy enough if the name contains the word skin.

Hi markschum,

I tried your script "setgraydiffuse.py" in P6 on Posette, but got the following error.

Figure 1
GROUND
UNIVERSE
FocusDistanceControl
Light 2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 30, in ?
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'InputByInternalName'

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Les.

 Works for me in Poser 7 , the same code is run for figures and then props
    Its failing in the props section .
    the prop name should have been written out to the display , theres something in that props materials that isnt what the script expects. It may be to root node name in the shader tree.

If that doesnt help I will give you a script to catch the error .

It seems that the problem may be with the lights, rather than your script. I tried deleting all the lights, when I did the script ran OK. I think there may be some corruption in my preferredState.pz3. I have noticed some strangeness lately. I will have to open it up and investigate.

Try this one instead, I added some testing to avoid errors.

Thanks for the new script. Off to bed now, will test it tomorrow.
