Okay. The ray-casting has been added to the Comparison script. I've uploaded the new script, the first full hybrid release, to the site. The Transfer script has also been updated, with a fix for the dropped vertex bug in shape transfer, and a couple of lesser tweaks.
The Comparison script has had file compression and dot product testing for normals turned on by default. It has also had some commenting added to the status update box. Among other things, the script will now assess whether a comparison is uphill or downhill and make a basic comparison recommendation based on that.
The non-.pyd version of the ray-casting process seems to take slightly less than twice as long as the .pyd version. Unfortunately, this slowdown doesn't seem avoidable. It's much faster than most previous non-.pyd versions of TDMT, however. I'm running the Antonia-V3 comparison at around two minutes, 15 seconds with the .pyd and roughly three minutes, 45 seconds without it.
Huge applause for Spanki, for writing the wonderful new ray-casting process. :thumbupboth:
If anyone tries the script and encounters an error, please report the error to this thread. Should any crop up, I'd like to fix them as quickly as possible.

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.
