I was trying to put together a Python script to export the scene as an OBJ and scale it up, so that it imports into Blender in a more blenderish size.

This is my cutup of the imp/exp script in Render control. (Poser 9)

There is a code called: kExOptCodeSCALEFACTOR - Scale exported scene by this amount.

I have modified it to 1, 10, and 100 with no difference in the exported size?

Any thoughts?

#---------------------------------
# Exporting an OBJ scaled up for Blender 
# WaveFront .obj file format
#---------------------------------

#---------------------------------
# Get the scene and the Import-Export object
#---------------------------------
currentScene = poser.Scene()
imExObject = currentScene.ImExporter()


print ""
print "Setting OBJ Export Options..."
exoptions = imExObject.ExportOptions("obj", None)
#for key in exoptions.keys():
#       print key, ':', imExObject.ExportOptionString("obj", None, key), '=', exoptions[key]



#---------------------------------
#  Set some known standard OBJ Export Options...
#---------------------------------
exoptions[poser.kExOptCodeUSEINTERNALNAMES] = 0
exoptions[poser.kExOptCodeFIRSTFRAME] = 0
exoptions[poser.kExOptCodeLASTFRAME] = 29
exoptions[poser.kExOptCodeMULTIFRAME] = 0
exoptions[poser.kExOptCodeWELDSEAMS] = 1
exoptions[poser.kExOptCodeASMORPHTARGET] = 0
exoptions[poser.kExOptCodeBODYPARTNAMESINPOLYGROUPS] = 0
exoptions[poser.kExOptCodeFIGNAMESINGROUPS] = 1
exoptions[poser.kExOptCodeEXISTINGGROUPSINPOLYGROUPS] = 0
exoptions[poser.kExOptCodeSCALEFACTOR] = 100

print "Exporting in Wavefront .obj format..."
try:
        #---------------------------------
        # export it
        #---------------------------------
        imExObject.Export("obj", "File Format Wavefront", "C:TEMPyooowza.obj", exoptions)

        print "Export succeeded"

except:
        print "Export failed -- please check the file name"

Don't know if this has anything to do with anything but those values after the options appear to correspond to constants stored in some Poser Dictionary. Not sure if I'm reading it right...

"The PoserPython options dictionary now includes enumerations of import and export options.  These options correspond to UI option strings present in dialog boxes when importing/exporting files from within Poser using the normal interface.  For users who need access to the strings as they appear in the dialog boxes, you can query the strings by passing the enumeration constant into the ImportOptionString() and ExportOptionString() methods (discussed below).
Codes such as poser.kExOptCodeMULTIFRAME are pre-defined constants with unique identifying values.  For instance:

poser.kImOptCodeCENTERED = 0
poser.kImOptCodePLACEONFLOOR = 1
poser.kImOptCodePERCENTFIGSIZE = 2
poser.kImOptCodeOFFSETX = 3
poser.kImOptCodeOFFSETY = 4

The values 0 to 4 do not represent the values or choices the options are set to, but rather, they are simply codes uniquely identifying each option.  It is unlikely that you will ever need to know or set them.  A more typical use of import/export option enumeration values is illustrated in the following line of code:

options[poser.kExOptCodeFIRSTFRAME] = 2

The above example sets the value of the FirstFrame option to 2.

have a look at your scale factor again. The only one I remember for Export is to do with scaling in BVH exports.

I use Lightwave so I load the item and scale it up if I want to model at real world scales. Then export it scaled smaller.   In 3dsmax the importer allows you to scale. I dont know blender.

Yea, I did not see a Import Scale option in Blender either, so I seemed to be stuck either way, doing it manually.  Was just trying to get it automated.  It's not that big of a deal, I guess

Thanks for the replies

Yea, I did not see a Import Scale option in Blender either (they have a Clamp Scale option, but it does not seem to change anything related to the scale of the OBJ being imported?), so I seemed to be stuck either way, doing it manually.  Was just trying to get it automated.  It's not that big of a deal, I guess

(whoops double post)

Just a thought but have you tried the blender forum ?

Yep, I am waiting to hear back on BlenderArtists.org  :tongue1:

...and they replied and I may need to upgrade to a later Blender.
