No problem regarding the credit - it was a fast prop that was meant for a particular project, but which has turned out to teach us all something about props (see prior post in another thread) and to be fun! I agree about the hands - that's the limit on the back motion. For anyone trying to play with this posing... I've had some success with parenting the body of the figure to the swing prop... (and in my case parenting the swing to another object holding it by the loops). You can then set the hands where you want them and set IK ON for the hands. Start with your pose leaned forward all you want, and as you lean the model back, the elbows will compensate. Turn the IK OFF for the feet so that you can freely pose them by bending the knees, etc. As for the feet crossing, I've seen some kids and teens swing that way on playgrounds... but most do it with feet apart. I'm glad that my prop has been fun and has given me (and others I think) the chance to learn more about props and posing. It would be cool to get the pose file for this when it's ready, though! Depending on the size, I may be able to host it for you, Krel. I don't want to host nudity, but I could possibly host some of the poses...
