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.

Subject: Saving a Material Set

I'd like to save the current material as a Material Set ('.mt5') to a location of my choice, with an associated png thumbnail.

I see poser.Scene().CurrentMaterial().SaveMaterialSet('name') will save an .mt5 file, but without a png thumbnail and without allowing me to choose where ...

Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you.

'name' should be the full path to where you want the material saved to.

I think you'll find that it will save a PNG file along with it. At least it did for me.

import poser
import os
poserDir = os.path.split(poser.AppLocation())[0]
matFilePath = os.path.join(poserDir,"test.mt5")
poser.Scene().CurrentMaterial().SaveMaterialSet(matFilePath)

Ha ha! That simple!

Thanks so much Phil - I was wildly overthinking it :-D

It all works for me too now: you're a star.
