I don't understand why Poser has IK on/off switch. I thought IK/FK blending was industry standard by now, but I guess not. When I worked with the 3dsmax demo, that's the one thing I loved about Character Stuido. I could grab a body part from the top of the heiarchy or the bottom, it didn't matter. The skeleton moved as expected. No switching IK on or off. I'm sure Maya and other apps are the same in this aspect, so why not Poser?? Can you tell I'm frustrated with Poser's (lack of) intuitive animation tools? hahaha I can only hope Carrara is better.
