Thanks for the kind words.

I think stretching my mind like this may keep me, if not young, at least able to think.  But I have to kind of stay away from programming because it's an addiction and then I don't get anything else done (like animating).  So it's a balancing act.

My script uses (doesn't require but if you don't have it you won't get image compressions and needed alterations) the installation of the pillow library (NOT Pil, which is an unsupported and obsolete library).  Here are instructions on how to install 3rd party Python libraries in iClone:

Hello, Mike!

I'm interested in your script.  I may need a few simple instructions as I can figure most of it out.  I watched your video on this as well.  I'll email you as well.

Thank you,
Pete

My script for iClone 7 works fine - iClone 8 is still a bit buggy and I haven't released it to the general public.  (It will run but still has issues I haven't ironed out yet due to my schedule).

Which version of iClone are you using?

I just upgraded to Iclone 8

Yeah, my version for 8 definitely has some issues (they changed Python versions AND changed some of their calls - none of which are horrible in the extreme but make fixing it a real chore).

Given the holiday season I'm not sure I have the time to even look at this until next year, but I do have several videos on my channel explaining how to use the older version.  If you still have iClone 7 installed (and you should - there are still things it can do that 8 cannot) you can always import there, get all the textures, and then export the scene to open in 8.  If that interests you at all here is the starting video (and you can find the rest easily):

I looked at this and this is for the beta version.  The new version runs around 10x faster so it's MUCH better (but you can find the videos on it as well).  Less than a minute or two even for advanced scenes.

Mike, 
Thanks for pointing me to the more relevant video.  When I attempted to download from the link, it said the file is no longer available for download.  I can wait until after the Holidays to bug you again. :)  I hope yours are very merry.  

Thanks,
Pete

LOL - yeah, remind me again next week and I'll see what I can do.
