Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Mar 19 1:03 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: Concerning: Poser 8 as Freeware
There has never been any Freeware version of Poser. Anyone providing a version claiming it as Freeware is providing a Pirated copy or worse. Anyone downloading and using is in violation of the EULA. The License for discontinued versions does not end because a version is discontinued.
The current version of Poser is Poser 12.
Please note... there was a popular offer for Poser 5 and later Poser 8 which users may still encounter that was embedded with Malware. This version was so popular that some were sold at a very low price, which individuals paid for a Malware embedded version.
As always... if it is free or too good to be true, it most likely is.

Effectively, someone already made freeware that loads Poser files from the Poser 8 years - it's called Daz Studio. :-)

The Python part of older versions (Python 2.7) is obsolete anyway.
Poser12 gives much better prospects because you can expand the functionality via installing other modules. Pip is supported. I for example installed Matplotlib to do some image processing of my own. This means with Poser 12 your options cover almost whatever one can do with Python.

Quick Question. I understand that only one generation under the current version is covered by support; the question; is Poser 10 and below freeware and if not, what can be done to acquire developer rights?
Reason: I am working on a small to midsize project using Poser Python and the UI environment and noticed it would be more efficient to simply use the original UI layout. Its also been noticed that additional themes, windows and content, such as API data can be added to the environment, so expanding compatibility with other applications.
I would suggest a public repository for those interested in building an open source version of Poser, of which UI components, themes, content and API data may be produced by the Poser users. As a token of respect for Bondware and Renderosity, an access key fee can be applied at the storefront as a microtransaction at the point of purchase of the most recent Poser version and or qualifying content.
Again, the question was about a Poser freeware (not abandonware) version. Can it be done?
