Where there's a will... there is a script.

@erogenesis Could you describe "complex"?
I don't remember exactly but when we ran this one script from CR2 and the same from the palette, it behaved differently. It had something to do with loading smart props and then reparenting them to something else.

One note you might need to pan the camera up to see the character as it loads the feet at the very top of the camera view.
Mine has several options. Put figure in front of camera in its original rotation and vertical displacement, the same facing the camera, or centralized in the view of the camera. Another extremely useful script I have is 'place next to', and it works nicely in complex scenes. I can place any figure next to, or behind or in front of another at different distances.

I really wish this forum had sub-forums. Like for nodes and for scripting.
Anyway there used to be some really nice people on runtimedna when I first started that helped me with some scripting. I am not sure if they have come here or not. anyway one script I have which I believe is close to what someone was asking is to move a character and any objects attached to the character to infront of the selected camera:
Technically, I think the Poser forum is a subforum of the Graphics Forum. In any case, why not ask ShrDavid or one of the Admins, to start a script forum? All they can say is yes or no.

I'll include that with PE! But duplicate selected? Doesn't Poser already have that? or did you mean something else?
Like if I have a figure say V4 in a scene and am building a group scene want a whole mess of V4s in it. Rather than spawn new ones from the library I want to be able to have her selected and Maybe her accessories(clothing and such) and copy paste her. so there will be more than one and I can then move the dupe where I need it.
If its something simple I am going to laugh.

@digitalpanther Select the EDIT menu, scroll down and select Duplicate. That's it. Just make sure you have V4 or whatever figure selected. and anything she is wearing must be conformed to her. You can duplicate until your computer won't respond anymore.

OK now I feel sheepishly stupid. DOH!

@digitalpanther I could try fashion a duplicate and scatter script I think. I think I might find that useful too.

Unless I've completely misunderstood isn't that what the Send In The Clones software does? (I've seen it at Daz, and I think I've seen it at another vendor, as well.) Draagonstorm wrote it in two versions: Daz Studio and Poser.

I purchased a crowd generator myself, unfortunately the version of Tinker that they used doesn't work with Poser 12.

@ssgbryan
Poser12?

Oooookay. I see that Send In The Clones Pro does not work in Poser Pro 2014, nor in Poser Pro 11, and in both cases, without even a warning message.
-
@thalek maybe it can be doctored to work again?
-
@thalek works for me (win7).
-
@thalek Working for me too in PoserPro11 SR7 (not updated to SR8 on my main pc yet) on Win 7.

How very odd. I am on Windows 10 x64, and when I ordered up some random figures at random locations, they all materialized at the same spot. I'll fiddle with the settings to see if I'm doing something wrong.
-
Maybe it's a problem with Windows 10?
