Ah...OK I understand now. SO...morphing skirts, unless they have specific channels to sort of conform them to a specific movement, are not suitable for animation? I understand the point about parenting to the hip in order that basic poses can be changed (twist, lean etc) but not more than that, and I see you have included various different morph positions to suit various STATIC poses. Thing is, when you are new to Poser, you are relying almost entirely on the enlightenment of the readme, and have to take everything in them at face value. I am slowly learning that everyone else is having trouble doing the things I'm trying to do...the difference being that they know the limitations and I am still discovering. Anyway thanks for making the skirt and for posting it at the site! Cheers, Leonardis
