I've been experimenting a bit with the walk designer too. If you look closely, you'll see the feet slipping. That's because the Walk Designer smoothes the body movement. Body settings don't get saved in pose files indeed. If you want to save body movement, you'll have to save the whole pz3 and then edit out everything that is not related to the poses. Another option is using Python. I've made a Python script that analyses the feet movement and calculates the right body displacement frame by frame. It also drops the figure to the surface it is supposed to be walking on, unlike the supplied walk designer. See the link. A problem with the script is that it isn't possible to designate an end position for the walk. I haven't figured out the math yet. Probably the best way to use it is using the walk designer and walk paths to make a base walk animation, and then run the script on it. It won't be perfect, you'll still have to edit quite a bit by hand, but the result is usually better than just the walk designer by itself.The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
