I want to randomize various props as if those were thrown on air

don't want to move them around just randomize their rotation values

Is there a python script like that?

My FreeStuff

Apply random rotations to all props in the scene.

import poser
import random

scene = poser.Scene()

def main():
    for actor in scene.Actors():
        # ues try/except to avoid trying to rotating actors that can not.
        try:
            if actor.IsProp():
                print actor.Name()
                actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeXROT).SetValue(rnd())
                actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeYROT).SetValue(rnd())
                actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeZROT).SetValue(rnd())
        except:
            pass

def rnd():
    value = random.uniform(-360,360)
    print "t%f" % value
    return value


main()
scene.DrawAll()
print "done"

Thank you so much **PhilC**!

You are the best!

It works great!

Is it possible to make it work on the selected prop only? In case there are other props on the scene?

the line  "for actor in scene.Actors():" is going to go through every prop, light, camera etxc in the scene.

def main():<br></br><br></br>       actor = scene.CurrentActor()<br></br><br></br>        # ues try/except to avoid trying to rotating actors that can not.<br></br><br></br>        try:<br></br><br></br>            if actor.IsProp():<br></br><br></br>                print actor.Name()<br></br><br></br>                actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeXROT).SetValue(rnd())<br></br><br></br>                actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeYROT).SetValue(rnd())<br></br><br></br>                actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeZROT).SetValue(rnd())<br></br><br></br>        except:<br></br><br></br>            pass<br></br><br></br>make the change and get the indentations right and it will do only the selected actor (prop)<br></br><br></br><br></br>

Perfection! Thank you markschum!

Python seams like magic to me, I assumed the spell should be changed a little to work :biggrin:
