I know nothing of poser physics. Sounds intriguing.

Your suggestion with the babell, is unfortunately not applicable. I'm not actually making weightlifting anims. I was merely using that as an example to give the general idea. Also, I can't use props, / don't think.

I'm really liking the idea of making a universally applicable animation layer, as I have a lot of different pplications for this.I made a 7 frame anim for testing, and I'm now trying to figure out how to actually apply it to the layer.
