PoserPython Vol I

The PoserPython collection is an assortment of python scripts written in Poser5. They control several scene modifications and you can run them from inside of Poser. To install this Python Library, unzip the package and drag the 3dtrue_PoserPython_v1 folder into your Runtime/libraries/Python folder (you may need to create the Python folder). Once there, you can access then entire script menu by opening Poser. In the Poser program menu up at the top choose: Window > PythonScripts.
In the PythonScript menu window, choose a blank button. This opens a file browser window, select the menu.py script from inside the 3dtrue_PoserPython_v1 folder you just installed. Once the menu.py script is choosen all of the Python Scripts can be run from one location. If you want to permenantly keep the 3dtrue Python scripts on your main opening Python Script window, just edit the file "Runtime/Python/poserScripts/mainButtons.py"
The PoserPython Collection Volumn I contains the following Python Scripts:
- IK Toggle - Use this to turn IK on or off for the currently selected figure. This saves you from having to turn IK off for each joint. IK Toggle works like this: If the first IK joint is on, all joints IK are set to off. If the first joint it finds is off, all joints are set to on. Therefore, if you click the toggle button for any figure, the result will be the IK will be all on or all off for the figure.
- Super Zero - This PoserPython script let's you reset the figure to zero in four different ways. You can reset any or all of the following from one dialog: rotation, scale, trans, and morphs
- Morph Tidy - Morph Tidy let's you remove/hide morphs which match any of four criteria. They are: If morph's name contains a user defined type-in value; if the morph has no name ('-'); if the morph is set to '0.0'; and if the morph is less than zero. Customize any or all of these options and your Poser scene will be updated. A special test mode also allows you to see the result before you actually run the script. The Hide versus delete option let's you specify whether the morph will be completely removed, or just hidden from view. (Delete morph may not work on some characters, hide works on all).
- Create Folder - Use this widget to automatically create a new folder inside a library in Poser. Choose a folder type from the drop down list and select a name, a folder will be made instantly.
- Launch PoserPorter - If you have our Poser tool PoserPorter installed, you can launch it from the python window inside of Poser
- Primitives - Have Python throw some platonic solids on your Poser stage in the primitives python menu. The Primitives menu let's you create several hedra-based shape geometries and set as props to the stage via the AddGeneralMesh command.
- TerrainMaker - Real quick and easy way to throw some ground cover on your stage from inside Poser. This tool let's you create a plane, set the number of width and height segments, add noise to it, preview it, and finally add it to your stage. Morphable and everything! PoserPython let's you do some cool stuff for sure.
- Add Noise - Select any actor on the stage (like a figure's head for eaxample). Open the Add Noise Python script. You can choose to add three types of noise: add,sub, and both. Add adds noise to each vertex in the specified direction/s, sub subtracts vertex noise, both will random between the two. Noise amount is the amount of noise you wish to add (0-100). Finally, the three directions allow you to specify noise in particular dimension. X Noise will only add noise to each vertex in the X direction. Y and Z do the same respectively depending on what you have choosen. Use the Noise tool to: make you figure's face melt, add some bumps to your terrain, simulate a hyperfield, you come up with the rest. Another great feature of the Add Noise tool is it let's you specify that the noise should be applied as a morph target, or directly to the mesh. This means you can animate your noise in your timeline. Back to the face example: select the face, open noise, add Y noise type "sub". Check the Add As Morph option. Hit Add Noise. Go to the first frame in your timeline, turn the new noise morph in your figure's head parameter window to zero for the first frame. In the last frame, turn the noise morph to one for your figure's head.
