Ok, it's "Feeling Brave" time ... :blink: ___ HUH?
Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo...................................... :scared:
Are you ready? ................................ Good!
Here's what to do:
-
Select Foxey Boxey (aka Figure 1) .... and delete her so the studio is empty.
-
Recreate the figure without peeking at your notes.
C'mon now, you can do it ...
- Load a box prop
- Go to the Setup Room
- Create 2 bones
- Use the GT and Auto Group button
- Return to the Pose Room
Simple, huh? Now you do it again from scratch without using any notes.
Go ahead and close this window and ... just DO IT !
You know you can ................ I'll wait until you get back so we can continue.

dr geep

It is fun.
Acadia, I have a chance to play with Poser, I converted my chain into Poser format with IK enabled. It is really interesting. You can hold the end of the chain and pose it.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
I haven't done the bone thing yet beyond what I showed abov and that is on a box not the chain which in my mind is not the same. I've had a headache today and can't really concentrate very well.

DG,
You're a swell guy. So helpful, patient and FUNNY. It's nice how you take the time out to go through each and every step. It's also very helpful and cute the diagrams you use. I find, even when you get help on here, it's still hard to comprehend as a noob because (through no fault of the helper's own) they use words within their descriptions that need need a description. I often doubt my abilities when I can't understand for the life of me what I'm supposed to, but you make everything very easy to understand.
Cheers.
Hi SSAfam1,
Well, thank you SS, thank you very much for taking the time to make a post to let me know that there is more than 1 or 2 folks watching my shenanigans out there on the world wild web and here in the land of R'osity. I appreciate knowing that my time to produce my "art" (if you will) does not fall on deaf eyes ... er, wait a minute, that should be deaf ears ... if you can here it. (lol).

I'm back sort of! Headache is gone but I have to take an hour or two to do a bit of cleaning and my physio exercises before I sit down to have some fun.
I'll be back after lunch :)

Hmmm. Nothing happens.
I am back in the Pose Room. I have a "Figure 1" (box) and I have "Bone 1" and "Bone 2", but when I use the parameter dials on either of the bone parts, nothing happens.

I redid it again (without looking at the instructions). The "auto group" must not have taken the first time, but it did the second time.
Whee! I can move the parts around, hehe
Now off to try this on the chain, LOL

I'll post a shot of what my bone application looks like in a couple minutes.

Yes, I was using the main camera when I was placing the bones.
I'm not really comfortable with cameras and TBH the only cameras that I do use are "Main", sometimes "Posing" and "Face" I usually just swing around with the main one then go and reset it again and then change my focal lengths back to my desired settings. I know... more work but I've always been more comfortable with "drop down menus" than keyboard shortcuts and all of those cameras are more like keyboard shortcuts to me and take me out of my comfort zone.
Which camera should I be using when I place the bones?
Quote - Hint ... we do NOT want to use Auto Group on the chain figure.
Can you figure out why?
dg
;=]
I'm confused about the "Auto Group" now. Earlier you said to use it, but now you say not to?

We do not want to use Auto Group because the groups (links) are intertwined with each other and Poser can not sort that out properly with Auto Group so we must use a different method.
To be continued ...

Ok. I need to use the Front Camera which apparently is different than the main one which also seems to be in front, hehe
Aren't you glad that all of your students aren't as dim as I am sometimes? ;)

You are not dim ... only ignorant ................. and as Will Rogers said:
*"We're all ignorant, 'cept on different subjects."
Tomorrow, we WILL produce a chain figure ...

G'night.

*They're called "Orthographic" cameras, e.g., Front, Left, Right, Top, etc.

Yep. I think I need to look at that camera tut! I'm sure there are much better ways to go about things in Poser and I do it the long/hard way.

Thanks :) I excell at things like medicine. Even graduated top of my nursing class with honours but I find computer things so hard to learn for some reason. But I keep trying and sometimes I even succeed :)

On trying ...
Good for you ... and Remember ...

A quitter never wins ! :sad:***
So, you keep trying and you WILL get it, I promise.
I am trying, also, just ask my wife - she'll tell you that I am very trying.

Hi Amy,
Yes ... stay tuned. ... ... And thank you for the question.
The chain I am making has 10 links ... but we can use it to make a different chain with any number of links. We could reduce it to 5 links or make it have 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. links.
How many links do you want in your chain? ... ;=]
Another GOOD question ... BTW. ...

dr geep

Repeat this process for the rest of the bones ... i.e.,
select "bone_2" >>> "Remove All" >>> "Add Group" >>> Select group "2" >>> Click "OK"
select "bone_3" >>> "Remove All" >>> "Add Group" >>> Select group "3" >>> Click "OK"
select "bone_4" >>> "Remove All" >>> "Add Group" >>> Select group "4" >>> Click "OK"
select "bone_5" >>> "Remove All" >>> "Add Group" >>> Select group "5" >>> Click "OK"
select "bone_6" >>> "Remove All" >>> "Add Group" >>> Select group "6" >>> Click "OK"
select "bone_7" >>> "Remove All" >>> "Add Group" >>> Select group "7" >>> Click "OK"
select "bone_8" >>> "Remove All" >>> "Add Group" >>> Select group "8" >>> Click "OK"
select "bone_9" >>> "Remove All" >>> "Add Group" >>> Select group "9" >>> Click "OK"
select "bone_10" >>> "Remove All" >>> "Add Group" >>> Select group "10" >>> Click "OK"
You get the idea ... right? ... ;=]
