ok Ive made poser figurs b4 and had no trouble and now Trouble. I have tryed so many combanation with this. posting a Image file of the PHI I want main fish to be the main part of the Figure. then atach every thing to it. The Fins go to the body and eyes to the head. After many hours of trying this i have come close to geting it the way i wanted but NOT! I have look at the other Fish PHI file but its still laking in the help. if any one here has a good fresh Idea would love to try.

There is 4 parts to the body I will start with the head. Fish head Main Fish Fish body Fish tail Then there eyes and the fins Fins are lookaten next to main fish look picture

The only obvious thing is that the "Fins" should be attached to "Main_fish" instead of "Fish_body" i.e. they should be at level 2 not 3.

please discard the order of the PHI file its just opend not sorted

ok.. this is the close as I have come the problem is with the fins when they move the distort the main fish body If i turn of Bend to the main Fish it seems to work Fin but then the rest of the fish looks poopy when animated

You probably need to change the rotation order, adjust the joint angles and / or use Spherical falloff zones.
Changing the rotation order can be done using Phi Builder, but the rest can only be done in the Setup Room with the Joint Editor open.
Look through geep's tutorials for some help on what to do.
The Angel fish that comes with Poser might provide some hints.

Hi grid, Perhaps [ THIS TUTORIAL](http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12356&Form.ShowMessage=1649633) might help you. cheers, dr geep ;=]

Thanx for the help. What i needed was another body part. this would have resovled it all. wich im thinking of doing right now.

;=]

fishy final. this is with out the extra body part but after ading it to the model it solved the problem

That looks excellent! ;=]
