SECOND PROTOTYPE RELEASE !
A simple script for Poser 9(PP2012) upwards* to add some standard Ajax EasyPose style controls to any figure.
(Yes, I've checked with Ajax, the originator of EasyPose and the creator of EasyPose Underground, and he's happy for me to release this as a freebie!)
The zip contains the FreazyPose0-10.py file, a basic tentacle figure for you to test it on, and a readme.
Put the python script wherever you want (desktop's fine), and copy the contents of the runtime folder (if you want the tentacle) to whatever runtime you want to keep my stuff in.
(N.B. If you're a programmer put on your peril-sensitive sunglasses before examining the code - I prefer the monolithic approach to writing code, and the use of chewing gum, sticky tape, and string to hold it together)
Changes since prototype 0.06. Tidied up a bit, changed my dial names to avoid clashing with existing Easypose, and changed the delta calculations to match the original Ajax EasyPose stuff (although the Spiral and S-Curve still seem slightly different from the original EP Tube)
Load a figure** to test it on, and then from the Poser main menu 'File' > 'Run Python Script' and select this script. Once started the script should be self-explanatory. Plenty of dialogues (you'll get fed up of them), plenty of chances to abort the script.
The script ONLY adds the easypose controls to the figure in the scene - it doesn't save anything. To save the modified figure... well, just save the modified figure in the normal way !
And don't forget - it's a prototype. Feedback is appreciated, especially problems and suggestions for improvement.

"Yet another fine prototype from the goblin sweatshops of the 3DCheapskate!"
*Poser 8/PP2010 and earlier don't support the 'AddValueOperation()'method which is the core of this script.
**The included basic tentacle is agood start
- The tentacly freebies at ShareCG by KnochenKater (aka ancestorsrelic) are crying out for EasyPose - www.sharecg.com/ancestorsrelic
- Some of the original Ajax EasyPose freebies(including the EP Tube that I tested with) are still available at Renderosity www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/?search=ajax « Less
But the script's fairly simple with 'unrestricted use'rights, so I should hope that if it doesn't work as-is with Poser 12 then some friendly PoserPythonista would be able to fix it.
Maybe mCasual (on the DAZ Freepozitory forum) has something ? Or could be persuaded to do something ?
