Getting a figure to walk in heels, particularly high heels can be a problem. I created a special pose file for P6 and up, to help overcome this problem. See link above.

When a walk cycle is applied the overall motion of the figure is implimented in the BODY actor. As Pose files do not normally save pose data for the BODY acrtor, if you save a pose, the pose will only make the figure walk in place, it won't move forwards. You can overcome this limitation by creating a special figure, and doing a bit of text editing.

With Poser set to save uncompressed files, save a figure to a pallet with a new name. Open the resulting cr2 file in a text editor, use the editors Replace function to replace all instances of the string "BODY" with "BODYX". Resave the file.

Create your animated walk cycle poses using the new figure, the poses will include translations and rotations of the BODYX actor.

The resulting poses will only work on the new figure, but you can convert them to work on a normal figure by text editing the posed to replace "BODYX" with "BODY".
