A hologram is a projection of the outside appearance of a person not in the room. Best treat it that way: render hologram figure separately on transparent background and use it on a billboard figure in the final scene. Set the 'ghostiness' of the hologram via transparency and blur. Input via ambient only. Diffuse, specular etc. all zero/black. A holographic projection is not affected by scene light.
Make billboard face camera. Use magnets on the billboard geometry to create distortion of the projection. Play with z-depth render image plugged into the IOR channel to create distortion of the background for the spooky effect. In Firefly try z-map and displacement.
To turn a scene figure into a semi-transparent hologram you would have to take out all internal geometry and all backfacing polygons; quite a challenge and probably not worth the effort.
Thread: how to fix holes in the mesh in poser?, thanks in advance | Forum: Poser 13
Is it a really a hole ( missing facet) or just a facet with inverted normals? Is the hole still there when you render? If so, you can invert its normals in the group tool.
Adding a facet is easy when you know the numbers of the vertices defining it but these are difficult to get from Poser. Best load the mesh into a modeling app.

Where?The product is now available in the darkseal store. It's just fabulous!
A pointer would be appreciated. (Rendo does not allow external links but indications where to find are OK. See my reference to PE on CGBytes and Renderotica above.)

Thread: multiple prop import | Forum: Poser Python Scripting
With many thanks to jancory for testing, instructions are below for those who want to make their own update:
Open the .py file in an editor (I use Notepad++) and:
- put brackets around the arguments of the print commands.
- in the includes at the top of the script change wx.lib.hyperlink to wx.lib.agw.hyperlink
- dlg.center no longer has a 'direction' keyword. For me it worked to leave that out, just call dlg.Center() without any arguments (line 382)
- fileDialog styles now have 'FD_' prepended to their names. wx.OPEN has become wx.FD_OPEN, etc. (line 380)
- strings have become different beasts and they are to be handled differently in binary write. I have no idea why Phil resorted to file writing, but the SaveLinesToFile method works after a revision as detailed in the below:
def SaveLinesToFile(lines, filepath):
fd = open(filepath, 'wb')
s = "\n".join(lines) #P13 Was: s=string.join(lines, '\n')
fd.write(str.encode(s)) #P13 encoded string for binary write
fd.close()
And: Some of Phil's scripts tried to write to the folder where the script is, and of course if you put it in the 'old' location under ProgramFiles that will not work because file writing is now protected.
I ran my version from an arbitrary folder and it worked. Best install under the 'new regime' of python files in library folders to prevent acces right errors.
Thread: Poser 14? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Even if rights allow, the job of updating a script is difficult to plan or schedule. You do not know until you start whether the job is easy or tedious. A wide range of programming styles, was applied and some appear even obfuscated by design.
Then, it is not just the Python version. Also changes in OS environment and Poser organisation are to be catered for. Writing user data in the Program Files folder are a big NONO now. The capabilities of Poser have enhanced greatly over time and a lot of the hoops that had to be carefully jumped at the time are now not needed anymore, or the functions are provided natively in Poser.
No surprise there's little interest to do an update job.
Thread: multiple prop import | Forum: Poser Python Scripting
It took a few simple steps to make it run under P13.
I am sure Phil would not have objected me uploading but I do not want today's inquisition on my back.
Drop me a sitemail when you're interested and i'll send you the instructions.

AI still has difficulties with hands. The model on the right has a left hand on her right arm. At least all hands are messed up.Yes. Hands and feet.
Sometimes 3 legs.

Face consistency is an issue. Results are chaotic in that respect. Even re-runs on same input may give different results. It doesn't hurt me much because I only make one-offs anyway and I never try to make models look like a particular person....
But mostly I wonder, are you going to get the same face consistently? A lot of the examples here are famous people, so maybe those, but I suspect if you feed it three different renders of the same character you are going to get three different characters out. That's limiting.
It could be there are tools to restrict to a particular face, but I have not found/mastered that yet.

Content Advisory! This message contains nudity
Warning: AI imagery!
Following the original post of this thread I too played around a bit with Krea. Loads of fun! I took old renders and enhanced them, and made new with choice of figures and let Krea enhancer have a go on the result. Guess who's the stunning lass on the left!, outshining (spoiler ahead) her far far offspring on the right.
Also ran into the limitations. The material is too much trained on 'watch the birdie' photos. As an illustration see the 'vanitas' image below. Left is original, Right is 'enhanced'. The prompt was: A woman with dark hair and blue eyes stares at a skull she holds in her right hand. I used 'stare' on purpose here to make the prompt stronger.
The changed direction of the eyes simply ruins the image.
Sometimes though the 'interpretation' Krea gives is refreshing.
(Edit: Added nudity tag for the half nipple. You probably would not have noted it without the tag, LOL)
Thread: How to convert multi-part prop into a figure? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
If I understand it correctly you want to merge the independent objects into one. Poser was never designed to do such operations. It was, and rightly so, considered that 3D programs like Blender are better suited for the task. Problem with those however is they come with a steep investment, if not financial then in learning effort.
A quick route to merge props without resorting to 3D programs is to export your separate props to a .obj file. On reload you willt have all selected components in a single prop.
in a new scene.
Thread: UV Maps | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
uv domain mapping (vertices and polygons) usually comes, in the .obj file as one set with the xyz domain mapping. Same holds for uv domain mapping.
There is, in Poser, currently no method to combine or swap out uv maps. If you have a separate mapping for the uv domain, but with consistent, or at least mapped, order of the polygons as in the xyz domain mapping you could write a small script to combine them, either in memory or in a .obj file.
If you want to pursue this your main tool there would be the below method in the geometry type:
polygons, sets and vertices can be obtained from the xyz geometry using the proper methods. The optional input parameters texPolygons, texSets, texVertices would have to come from your custom uv definition. This could be a normal .obj based input. A polgon (facet) definition in a .obj requires vertex data. You can do with just 4 vertices repeated for every polygon.
Thread: Attaching light to a target | Forum: Poser Python Scripting
The origin of the ball mesh geometry may not be in the center of the ball.
In fact, the two are totally unrelated.
Thread: WorldToScreen() - unclear about what it returns. | Forum: Poser Python Scripting
Correction 2: The width of your screen was probably 746 pixels. Poser just uses the width. Cannot say about height.

Forget that last line for now. I just looked and it was not where I suspected it was. If I still have it it is dug somewhere very very deep.
