Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 02 3:16 pm)
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: Apply material across all parts of an object
There are a number of scripts:
XS eXtended Shader Manager.
MATWriter Panel.
Transfer Material.
And I think SnarlyGribbly's EZMat can also do that, but I might be wrong? It can do most things like that.

There was also LLAnime and LLToon, for giving your figures toon materials in a few clicks. They no longer work, but may do if you're still running an old copy of Poser.

That is general with any script. A script automates a series of GUI actions. A script like the above by itself indeed has little need, unless this is something you have to do 100 times. The thing is you may need this code as a part of a more encompassing process in a bigger script. It is very annoying to have to stop, tell the user to do something, check if he did it correctly, and so on.Given that you can do this already in the material room by right clicking and choosing "Select All" and then right clicking again and hitting "Apply to all", I don't really see why you'd need a script.
We generally share code snippets here 'wrapped' in a script so others can easily see what the snippet does and test it before merging it into the bigger process.

Also, It is not necessarily the script that someone needs but the understanding of how particular functions can be applied for use within the poser environment. BUT as FVerbaas states you might want to apply a black texture across a number of background figures to create silhouettes, want to do it your (the built -in poser) way? no problem, enjoy. For people with less time and / or patience however; this script will automate the process, thereby speeding it up exponentially and you can modify it to work only on the figures/props that you want to address.Keith posted at 2:18 PM Sat, 20 November 2021 - #4430724

One day, I've stumbled upon a weird effect of the "Apply to all" menu entry: there was a prohibited link between two nodes in the pure firefly part. Using that menu entry led to overwrite the "Preview" material. As I was using the Superfly, I didn't even remarked, till the moment when Poser crashed.Given that you can do this already in the material room by right clicking and choosing "Select All" and then right clicking again and hitting "Apply to all", I don't really see why you'd need a script.
And I had quite a hard time to find the source of the problem, as I never touch the Preview material... ๐
I'm going to add an adapted version of that script to my toolbox dialog ๐

Hi Folks, I need help with a script that when I load a material from the library the material is applied to each part (material zones) of the current figure. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
