Quote - I've only ever taught classes in algorithms, not coding practices. So I guess you're fairly save from the worst effects of teacher's syndrome on my part.

Eep!  There's a teacher in the room?  :scared:

If you can swing the algorithms, you might be able to improve my kludge-worthy weighting code.  It's working, but I'm pretty sure it's a hack.  :lol:

But I'm fairly certain the slowness is coming from the sheer volume of distance calculations.  I've tried to reduce them however I can, short of adding the so-called "octree" screening by sectors or regions.  Possibly the dict handling isn't the fastest way possible to get the set of closest vertices.  I haven't tried tinkering with that portion of the function, so far.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
