AHHHHHHHHHHHHH im getting confused okay here is another maybe stupid question but i need to ask it How do you know how many frames to set for you animation, I mean it starts out with a defualt of 30. I mean in the poser user guid they give this equation Frame Rate X Duration = # of Frames. Then for there example they used a man going from a sitting position in a chair to a standing position. They calculated the time it takes to stand at 3/4 a second so the equation was 0.75 X 30=22 frames to complete the action So dose this mean I should do every action one at a time then after the first action is done like standing up from the chair which used 22 out of the 30 frames, then say I want to make him walk away, so do another calculation and add additional frames or is there a better way to calculate the total amount of frames you need to complete a scene.. hope that wasnt to confussing
