Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Apr 26 1:10 pm)
First thing the script does is presenting a dialog to select a HDR Image. If you have already an Environment Image in your background, you can simply abort this dialog and your old image is not touched.
If you select a new one, it may happen that Poser gets the filename but doesn't show the image. In this case you have to go to the materialroom and select the image "by hand".
After a second thought and some playing around, I made another version based on a Grouping Object. But now the groupings Rotation-, Scale- and Translation Dials are used. All of them. And this time I named the Grouping Object "WorldBackground".

My Poser 11 does not attach the selected image to the material. The filename is attached to the material, but the image is not shown. I have to attach the image from the Materialeditor (Poser finds the path and shows the image I selected previously).
Is this only my installation (I use windows in an virtual environment) or should I better remove the image selection when the script is started?
Another updated/extended version.
Download: https://adp.spdns.org/#BackgroundHDR
Added: Brightness/contrast. Added: Hide Scene objects. Bugfixes.
Cycles Brightness/Contrast shader is used instead of HSV. You have to play with the numbers for this shader. Attention: If you reduce the brightness, you may want to reduce the contrast as well. I didn't find a fitting formular to automate this. Maybe someone has an idea?
Hide/Show scene object can be used to get faster previews while working with the background. All objects in the scene are switched invisible. Before that the visible/invisible state of each object is saved and later restored.
Light On/Off shwitches all lights except IBL.
The script won't ask for a background image anymore. You have to set it by yourself (because it didn't work for me).
