Hi all

If you are like me, often using an HDR bitmap on the background, there is a moment when we have to find the right angle. Even though it is as esay as click, move the cursor, enter the valeur, enter and wait till Poser has finished to update, and make a fast test-render, here is a little script I have written to ease that part, and it works also in the "Pose" room:

import poser

def set_background_angle(angle):
  bk_shader = poser.Scene().BackgroundShaderTree()

  for node in bk_shader.Nodes():
    if node.Type() == 'ccl_Mapping':
        node.InputByInternalName('Rotation').SetColor(0.0,angle,0.0)

  bk_shader.UpdatePreview()


val = poser.DialogSimple.AskFloat("Enter the Vertical Rotation (rad)")
if val != None:
    set_background_angle(val)

Just as a reminder, here is the setup I have saved in my runtime library:

The longuest part to write this script: well... to guess that I had to define the rotation values by setting the Mapping node's Rotation "Color"... lol
