Quote - i already use TDMT. haven't a clue what else it does, but it's installed.
The _tdmt.pyd provides a vector library for PoserPython, with some built in options which are specialized for Poser. It's faster than pure PoserPython. Running a comparison between V3 and Antonia, it takes 4:06 without the pyd and 2:27 with it, on my system. The .pyd opens a lot of possibilities for Python scripts which modify the geometry, in Poser. It sped things up enough for me that I was able to start experimenting more, allowing me to come up with some new or useful ideas, now and then.
I think I'm the only one in Poserdom who writes scripts which use the .pyd, however. It isn't compatible with all versions of Poser, and it won't run on Mac, so I guess I can see why. I've found it wonderfully useful, however.
Thumbs up for Spanki! :thumbupboth:

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.
