I have created a simple human character and imported it into Poser with the standard human group names via the Convert Heir File command. It poses fine. But when i try to make it walk using the walk designer it remains in one postion, not walking along the walk path. However it will render out a staionary walk cycle just fine and the preview in the walk designer window walks perfectly. It seems to be a problem attaching it to the walk path. I have enabled IK for the legs. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Does it face along the z axis like most Poser figures?

Yes, Jeff it does. When the new walk starts it assumes the pose of the first frame of the walk and just freezes there for the rest of the walk. This has happened on two different figures i created originally in Carrara. I wonder if Carrara's different Z axis orientation has anything to do with it? thanks

Sounds like it could be a name issue. I think the walk path uses the hip for tracking. Make sure the hip is all lower case letters in the .phi and .obj files. Just to be safe. And make sure the feet are the goal in the IK. Not the toes. That's all I can think of. ScottA
