Compact and powerful "toy" for performing common operations in the Poser scene, such as conforming, deleting, parenting and more, based on a simple and elegant list.

Scene Toy can be docked into the Poser interface or left as a floating window.

Supported by Scripts Auto Launch (FREE utility) if you wish to have it start when Poser starts.

Supports Figures, Props, Cameras and Lights. Prop support includes standalone objects, smart props, hair props and grouping objects. It does not support deformers of any kind (magnets, waves, wind forces).

Items in the list are further defined by descriptors in parenthesis after each item. This gives you an overview of whether the item is standalone (figure or prop is shown), is a parented figure (parented), is conformed (conformed), a parented prop (smart prop) and so on. These can be shown as abbreviated, one or two letter, or obscured completely.

Initially the list only shows Figures and Props but you can filter out any of the 4 types via a quick "Filter" menu.

Several operations can be performed when right-clicking an item in the list. Most of these can be done on multiple selections at once. If an item is included in the selections that is not appropriate for the action, it will be skipped (for example, deleting multiple items with GROUND selected - GROUND would be skipped).

• Delete - The item is removed from the scene. Works with multiple selections. For example, you can delete 2 lights, a figure and 3 props all at once. Cameras and Poser's GROUND prop are not affected.

• Rename - You can change the "friendly" name of any element in the list. This option only appears when a single item is selected. It does not affect Poser's GROUND prop.

• Conform To - This allows you to conform the selected items to another figure. It only appears when one or more figures are selected (clothing is included as a "figure"). It does not affect items which are not figures.

• Magnetize - This allows you to magnetize any selected items, which have previously been conformed, to the parent figure. It only appears if one or more figures are selected and they have been conformed and the parent figure has embedded deformers of some sort. This generally applies to Generation 4 DAZ Figures and Figures such as Miki 3.

• Parent To - Nearly any item can be parented to any other item. When parenting to a figure, a sub-menu is provided that allows you to pick the body part parented to. Items can be parented TO Poser's GROUND object. However the GROUND object cannot be parented to other items.

• Visibility - Any element can be made temporarily hidden or shown in the scene. Works with multiple selections. As a bonus, Lights are not only hidden but turned off.

• Frame and Center - Only shown in Poser 9 and higher, this is a play on Poser's "Frame Select" feature. Not only does it frame an item but it centers the orbit so you come up with frontal view and no weird orbited angles. This option only appears when a single item is selected. It "can" be used on Cameras and Lights but may produce odd results. If used on a figure, you are able to select a specific body part from a sub-menu.

• Select - Since Scene Toy selects a figure's BODY by default, this option allows you to quickly select a specific body part. It only appears when a single figure is selected.

More on manipulating list items:

• The scene is updated immediately when an operation is performed.

• The list is updated immediately when an item is removed from the scene, renamed, added to the scene or its status changes - conformed/parented or not. In situations where this does not happen, there is also a Refresh menu selection.

• A shortened body part list is shown for figures with one or more standard body parts (by design). This applies to Parent To, Frame and Center, and Select targets. However, at any time you can select a single figure and designate that it always show all body parts. This feature can be toggled on and off and is saved for future sessions. It is "keyed" to each figure's .obj file.

• When using Magnetize, it is possible to get a "false positive" if the parent figure has embedded deformers which are not intended to be extended to clothes. Cookie is an example of this. If you have selected a single figure that has embedded deformers, the script can set it to be ignored at any time. The first time you run the script, Cookie, Chip, Peaches and Pickles are placed on the default list of figures to ignore. This feature can be toggled on and off and is saved for future sessions. It is "keyed" to each figure's .obj file.

• The operations are NOT processed by Poser's undo system. The drawback, for example, is that a deleted item is gone until you load it again into the scene.

• Lightning Fast - Most operations are performed in seconds. Magnetizing conformed clothing takes a wee bit longer depending on the number of items selected and the number of deformers embedded into the figure (V4 has many). Footnote – this the one of the benefits of not using the undo system.

• The confirmation dialog when deleting items can be turned off.

Status of the last operation is displayed in the Title of Scene Toy as you perform them.

Any single item can be right-clicked to show you useful information:

• The type of item.

• Whether it is conformed or parented to something else.

• Name of it's geometry file or if it is embedded.

• Its number of "true" Material Zones.

• A list of those Materials.

• Number of object groups or body parts (if a figure)

• Polygon and Vertice count.

Nearly every part of the script can be defined with user colors. Hate yellow? Change it. Tired of grey? Go pink!

Scene Toy can be set to a certain list height or set up to size dynamically, filling all available space when docked. Changing the list size requires the script to be reloaded.

It Supports Plugins as official or 3^rd party Scene Toy Add-Ons. For programmers, selected items along with Scene Toy's current select list are dynamically exported and can be easily read by a script. Scripted add-ons can be in either .py or .pyc format.

Includes a comprehensive, illustrated PDF guide, which can be accessed from Poser's Scripts menu or from Scene Toy's right-click menu (Help).
