Xen-- You can do that already, if you're willing to use up 4 of your 9 pose dots... which I for one am willing to do given how much animating I do. If you want the pose dot code, let me know and I'll post it. I'd do it now but I'm not on my Poser PC.
YES PLEASE
Okey-dokey... here you go:
_________________________code starts below
{
version
.{
.number 6
.}
figure
{
.inkyChain LeftLeg
..{
..on
..}
.inkyChain RightLeg
..{
..on
..}
}
_________________________code stops above
Just open one of your existing pose dot pz2 files located in the dots subdirectory (or make any old one and save it to get the dot pose file created) in a text editor and then paste in the above code, and replace the periods with tabs.
This code turns on leg IK. To make an IK off version, just copy it into another dot pz2 and change "on" to "off" where it appears below the inkychain line.
To make arms versions, just change "LeftLeg" to "LeftHand" etc
This works on my Victoria and other Millenium characters. If the relevant inkychain body parts are named something else, you'll have to use the appropriate substitute names.
Credit for this idea must go to Little Dragon or lesbentley or maclean or one of the other exalted wisemen. I can't remember which of those three came up with this a few years ago, but I'm pretty sure it was one of them.
happy dotting...
