Servos quite right. The mechanics of a quadrapeds walk cycle are very distinctive, and actually quite hard to manually animate. Larry - thats a great reference tool for anyone who is animating any kind of natural motions on a regular basis. I intend to hunt down a copy asap. Id planned to do that from first opening Poser2 ;-) How time flies... The animated poses at PoserWorld are SUPERB - Havent applied them to anything except the dog yet, but they look awesome on that. Its simple enough to string together the walk, sit, bark sequences. Looks grrreat! Thanks everyone.
