The numbers for thighLength, feetDistance, and hipheight in the PZ2 files for walkdesigner how are they calculated. I'm asking this because I have some Poser characters that are not the same height as the standard. When I tryed one of them in Walk Designer it place him so his hips were too low to the ground so that his knees bend out when he tryed to walk. Thanks, Thorgrim

Did you try switching to your cr2 with the Figure Type button (lower left corner of WD)? P5 doesn't calculate this stuff very accurately, I suspect, because I can get knee twitches on demand from just about any character. But I've made reasonably accurate walks for Ginger and Minnie by using their cr2's. M

It also helps to create custom walk cycle poses for characters with unusual proportions. If you dump them in the Walk Designer folder, they'll show up in the Walk Designer as new blend settings, and you can use them instead of Poser's defaults.

What I was describing was with my character loaded into the WalkDesigner. The character Is aprox 6'8" and the "knee twitch" is extreme as the picture illustrates. It looks very much like the Walkdesigner is trying to fit the leg into too short a distance because the hip is too low to the ground. I think if I could figure out how they measure the distances I could change this keeping a copy of the old settings of coarse and get this figure to work in walkdesigner. Id rather use what walk desinger creates as starting place for creating any walk cycles I need in an animation as it could be such a time saver when used in conjunction with a walk path.

Wow! Thanks uli_k, this is great I will give these try.
