I took as my 'learn Python' exercise the writing of a Python script that would go through a figure and interpolate all MT's on the Figure to the clothes that figure is wearing. Leaving aside all obvious shortcomings of such a script (like the fact that clothing tends to actually cover body parts that they aren't named for, like the chest of a shirt covering the collar), I was actually able to get the script working for some clothes (you should see Ironbear's Aolanni in the 'stretched to fit' P4 bikini). My problem is as follows. My 'learn python' exercise is now over, I know the language pretty well, but now I'm plagued with getting this script to accurately interpolate morphs. It currently works fine on things like bikini's since these items tend to be fairly close fitting that start out shaped similar to the figures body. But for looser fitting clothes, my algorithm tends to force them to look like close fitting clothes (kinda like a wet T-Shirt contest :) If anyone is willing to take a look at a bunch of poorly written Python Script and help me complete this I would sincerely appreciate it. Oh, I intentionally left out any description of what I did in hopes that it may spark up a bit of tech talk about ways to accomplish this. I'm sure my way is 'a way', just not 'the way'. If anyone is really interested I'd be happy to post both the script as well as an explanation of what I did (it's not really complex).
