Hi Nance I, while posting on this topic have had a paranoid suspicion that some of this may already be well-known to those into animation (and I have said so in a number of my posts). Chapter 9 and 10 (pp205-30 and pp231-242) of my Poser manual are in pristine condition as are the pages in chapter 12 on the Sketch Designer, while the rest of the manual is coffee-stained, dogeared and ragged from reading and re-reading. I read practically everything posted on the technical side of poser, posted both here and in the Poserforum and in newsgroups. I have downloaded every tutorial ever written for Poser and I save the posts on all aspects of poser (I turn them into Pdf documents) alongside the tutorials. To be honest I cannot recall anything ever posted on this topic with relevence to stills posing or how useful it could be, so it came as a complete novelty to me. My God when I think of the time I have spent making poses come out half-right when interpolating between existing poses would have done 80% of the work. I am sure many experienced Poser users are in the same boat because if you were not into animation, like me, you skipped the stuff. We have obviously missed out. I do not take any offence at all at your comments Nance, and in some ways I am gald no one in the know spoke up before now, as I would never have learned as much so quickly while trying to explore the potential of what we thought was an important new discovery. Perhaps aspects of it are new, and our frontiersman-like-approach, bright-eyed and all fired up, might lead to further discoveries. Experimenting with the stuff has led to me learning that you can cut and paste between various file types to overcome limitations imposed by the program (e.g. pasting camera data into pose files) and this may lead to other new findings. You can understand our excitement, because if this was really being done for the first time it would be a major new discovery. Anyway like maclean said thanks for the input and no offence of any type taken and I, in return, hope this post does not sound pissy and full of self justification, because the opposite is the truth. BTW Maclean great tutorial, makes it very easy for those confused by all of this. John Maas STORM
