Hello All!
Just migrated my work space from Poser 4 on an older 8600 mac to a MacBook Pro running Poser7.
Trying to find all the apps I need to get back into it and there is one I just don't remember the name of to see if there is a current version for Poser 7 running on a newer Mac under SnowLeopard OS 10.6.4.
Anyone here know what I am talking about and can you tell me if it is available for my system?

It doesn't exist for you. It was never updated for OSX. Maconstructor is the name of it. I haven't found anything else to replace it.

Damn that freaking sucks!
As usual Mac users get the poopie end of the poser stick.
Thanks!

Hey Phil!
Thanks for jumping in here. I just so depressed I had to smoke a ciggie and I hate smoking....makes my nose hairs yellow! LOL
I assume this function is in Poser 7?

Poser 5 and later, so yes it is there in the Poser 7 version.

I tried reaing the info on the page you sent me to and I felt it was a bit over my head. Is it a complete tutorial for newbies to these later versions of Poser or for advanced users like yourself?

It is details of a Python script that I wrote that enables what you want to do in a couple of button clicks. You do not need to know anything about Python or scripting, you just need to click the menu buttons.

I hghly recommend Poser Toolbox and Pocketknife. Simple, straight forward, easy to use. Well worth the price.

PhilC:
So I would need to install a Python Script you sell for these functions to work in P7 or do they work out of the box and but your python simplifies use if I get it and install it?
Icprncss2:
What are these tools you speak of and are they available for the Mac versions of Poser7?

A lot of Poser functionality has been exposed to the user and may be manipulated using Python scripting. You can write your own scripts.
Over the years I've written one or two, see this page for my full list.
http://www.philc.net/store_Python_utilities.php
The Poser Tool Box and Pocket Knife are listed there.
If you go to the Poser help menu you'll be able to bring up the Poser Python manual. If you find that to be somewhat rudimentary you may be interested in the one that I wrote.

Yes they are Python scripts that you run in Poser.
I wrote them.

Shante, Now that you are running P7 on your Awesome new Intel mac
a whole new world of Poser functionality is available to you Via PhilC's Push button Scripts
here is what Wardrobe Wizard2 looks Like running right in poser ready to convert a clothing Item from One figure to another.
Also it is because of other Python scripta I have that i am able to batch import& export large numbers of props and create Fun Physics Simulation Like the ones here:**
**** PYTHON IN ACTION**
WARDROBE WIZARD is worth every Penny!!!
Cheers

Thanks everyone for the info. What I really need to do first is figure out how to use Poser 7. Compared to Poser 4 it is a monster by first appearance. Then I can move on to the finer stuff. Don't forget Wolf my brain is not as sharp as yours so learning new stuff is not my strong suit. :(
