Well...the thirsty novice is back again seeking to once more drink from the waters of the Poser community's collective wisdom. I have never come across a forum before that had such a helpful group of users. I REALLY appreciate it.

What is the best way to create a walking figure? I checked out the walk designer and the walks I came up with seemed unnatural or not appropriate for what I need. I also noticed some pre-fab walk animations in one of the pose libraries, but these don't seem very useful either. I want V3 to walk delicately in high heels. Are there other pre-fab walk animations out there that I could use or do I (shudder) need to construct this from scratch?

Thanks again.

Doing it from scratch will make you pull out your hair and tear your skin off. Check out NERD3D for his new Millenium Walk Designer... it's the walk designer PLUS special high heel walk cycles for Vicky in high heels.

OOPS.. almost forgot the link. here ya go... http://www.nerd3d.com

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with P4. Anyone know where can I get some .PWK files that look better than the default ones in P4?

The answer, I'm sorry to say, is to do it yourself from scratch. Yes it is difficult and takes a lot of practise, but the walk designer rarely works (the P4 people sometimes work). I have spent hours cleaning up the mess the walk designer makes as opposed to 1 hour keyframing a decent looking walk cycle. Maybe P6 will have a better solution.
