The current bipedal walk designer actually works, sortof, for quadrupedal animals. I've got a lot of work to do yet to discover why some animals work well (e.g. the DAZ elephants) and others work really badly (the Bengal Tiger, for example) but provided everything in the model is designed & named appropriately it's surprising (IMHO) how well the Poser walk designer works with quadrupeds. Youi DO however have to design a 30-second animation to save in the "Walk Designer" pose folder to get the quadruped walk to show up in the WD itself - but from there on in it "just works" (for me, so far). I imagine that an elephant walk will be suitable for a number of quadrupeds, but most other animals have more than 1 walking style (for different speeds at least). Cheers, Cliff
