I have made similar ones like this one but Im currently making a collection of 50 poses so Im not ready to release them yet. Right now, Im on pose 25 or something like that so theres still a while left before its time for the release. However I could give you some advice that might help you on your way to creating the pose yourself. Here goes... If I should create this particular pose I would keep the IK on while I posed her legs. Also, keep the figure standing up. This will make things easier. It seems to me that one leg is just in front of the other and the right foot is a bit higher than the other. The normal poser models is quite swaybacked. For this particular pose, that is a good thing. Normally it isnt. Now, since youve all ready fixed her legs in a perfect pose to her hip, you shouldnt have to make any big adjustments to the hip. Just use a little "side to side" to make the right buttock go up a bit. Next is the abdomen. This part should have just a little "side to side" making the body straight again. We do this because she is probably tilting a bit from the hip-adjustment. Then, you give it a little "twist" (just a bit! The large twist comes later.) and maybe you have to use the "bend" to make her even more swaybacked. The chest is where the major "twist" is applied. Now you should be on your way to making the perfect pose. Finally, you have to rotate the collars. These are the hardest things to handle I think. The collars give you "more arm to work with" it also controls the armpits. This adjustment is very hard to do if you want to get a good result but it is actually the trick for getting the arms just right. Just one more... (piew!) Always use the sliders... never try and get this right by using the tools in the viewports. Hope that this "tutorial" will help you. Live well.. /Jacko
