What do you mean!!! "Who is this ScottA"? Didn't you read the memo? I'm PoserGod now. And I can fix anything. On your knees and tremble before my greatness! ;-) Hehe. Just kidding. I'm concerned with all of the messing around that's been done with the figure's .cr2 file. Sometimes they get too messed up to use effectively. Especially if you don't know what to look for. I'm also concerned about the default placement of the geometry as well. That will give you problems when using IK. If the figure is not touching the floor just right. you're asking for trouble. Most likely what will need to be done is this: 1.)import the figure as a prop. With drop to floor and center options checked. 2.)export it so it's now in the correct default position 3.)run the .obj through .phi builder and re-convert the model to a figure. 4.)set up the JP's again. 5.)add IK as the last step This is a lot of work. But it's fool proof. It works every time. Messing with a .cr2 and IK if the figure isn't at the proper default location is not fun. Even for people who know what they're doing. ScottA
