Hi all,

Is there a way in the script IDE to execute a preset (shader/pose/morph etc...) ? Like how a Windows/DOS .bat or Unix shell script can execute a series of OS commands in one fell swoop?

If so what does the syntax look like? I could just make a preset or scene subset to capture a series of changes to an object but i would like to automate the process for different Genesis characters by an automated script.

For example, can a DAZ script to apply a certain skin shader, then change the eye color using a different eye material preset and then execute the height preset of a character when a certain G3F in the scene is selected?

I've used the scripting language to traverse the bones of a figure and do much more complex object behavior manipulation but I don't know how to call a preset to execute from within a simple script. Can someone please share an example or even let me know if it can be done?

If you have the file names you just need DzContentMgr, specifically openNativeFile( filepath ) http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/object_index/contentmgr_dz#a_1a43e46e9be7ac632990125dcd40721b1b

Looks like it doesn't work, I tried both DzContentMgr.openNativeFile(Filepath in "", merge=true) and openFile(Filepath in "", merge=true) . I also had selected the G8F figure in the scene before I ran the script...

syntax:

DzContentMgr.openNativeFile("D:\DAZ 3D Content Library\People\Genesis 8 Female\Characters\Madeline\Materials\Eyes\Eyes 02.duf", true)

Error:

Script Error: Line 1

TypeError: Result of expression 'DzContentMgr.openNativeFile' [undefined] is not a function.

Stack Trace: ()@:1

Error executing script on line: 1

-------------------------------

Do I need to make an instance of the DzContentMgr first?

You need to get the DzContentMgr (there can be only one) -

oContentMgr - App.getContentMgr();

This is mentioned at the top of the page, but of course my link went part way down - sorry.

Thanks Richard,

I will give it a shot. I'm actually trying to fix my faves list and starting over for the umpteenth time but will try and instantiate a DzContentMgr objext

Thanks!

Works like a charm after I instantiated the DzContentMgr class into an object!

Thanks Richard!

Glad it helped.
