Hi,
I had been trying to create a walk path and designing the walk with the walk designer. When I design a walk or a run with Don, I have no problems. But when I use the angelfish, it doesn't seem to do anything. Which is ironic because in the illustration in the book, they show the angelfish. This is what it says in the book. To load a figure type, click the load button in the walk designer and use the standard open dialog to locate your character (*.CR2) file.
When I do this the .CR2 files are not even recognize. But when I click on figure type in the bottom of the walk designer, the .CR2 files can be seen and loaded. The angelfish can be seen in the walk designer, and you can use the sliders to design the walk or in this case, the swim. Now at the end of walk designing the book say " When your walk looks the way you want it to, click the Done button to open the Apply Walk dialog." If you click done first, the walk designer disappears, and no Apply Walk dialog is seen, but if you click on apply, a walk dialog pops up. I do the appropriate settings click OK and I go back to walk designer, and then click done. When I do this with other figures, everything seems to work fine, but this angelfish doesn't seem to want to do nothing. Is there something that I'm missing? Or is there some sort of trick to create a walk path for the angelfish? Can anybody help me? I'm starting to get frustrated.

As far as I can tell, Walk Designer will only work properly with a figure that has properly-named body parts. And legs with inverse kinematics also seems to be a major requirement.

Earlier this week, I fashioned a legless robot figure and tried to make it Walk Designer-compatible, if only to let it glide along the path. Even though I had the body parts named appropriately (hip, chest, etc.), it didn't work until I added legs. They were very crude legs, mind you (simple boxes for each leg element), and I turned off their visibility so you can't see them anyway, but Walk Designer seemed to expect them.

The short version of all this is that the angelfish probably won't work in Walk Designer unless you completely rebuild it.

Thank you, that makes sense. I just wish they would tell you that in the book, it would make a lot of things easier. Well, now I know. Thank you again.
