this kinda sounds like my first animation problem. I too is trying to learn animation feature in poser 4 pro pack and let me tell you the tutorial in p4 guide with the walking clown sucks butt. I tried to follow the tutorial but starting with Vicky 2 character and when she walks it seems it takes her 4 frames to move down that long walk path. however if i turn the skip frames off she moves at 1 motion every 30 seconds it seems. Also a problem with the tutorial in the P4 guide and in the Poser 4 hand book I bought it suggest to leave IK on so after reading these post now im even more confussed.....:-( Dark_Raven
