I spend on average about 30 minutes on a pose and thats on the Mil dragon which can be a pain to move about if you don't know him like i do, :0) And a lot of you have seen my poses! I'm not bragging, it's just a lot easier than you think! Posing IS easy if you follow a few simple rules, Firstly, start with the hip and work outwards! this is extremely important! position the hip, rotation and positioning in the scene etc, then do the abdomen, chest etc , etc and as for IK's firstly turn them all off, but remember IK's can also help us immensly, for instance you have a right hand that is perfectly posed but the arm and shoulder are in the wrong place, simple, turn on ik for the right hand then select the right hand, go to the dials and you have the xyz Trans, GENTLY move the dials and watch the hand move slowly to where you want it and look, if you do it slowly the arm and shoulder follow and stretch into position, this takes a little practice if you haven't done it this way before but not much, Remember to turn off IK afterwards !! and MY second rule is only ever use the dials to pose, But thats my own opinion! Heck this turned into a long post! For you guy's that find posing hard or tedious would you be interested if i wrote a tutorial on posing figures ?, Free of course! Let me know, Regards BigT ;0)
