Hi Bart, yes thats what Ive been doing all along. But the problem is this. 1. I shouldnt have to do that. Never did in p4 or P6 According to the P6 Handbook, I should be able to twist, translate and rotate a figure once any other figures or props have been parented to it. 2. I wouldnt mind continue doing it, but many of the hr2 props I use are transparent, and once posed, untill rendered, I cannot see (how) they are posing. Chris~
