Tell me this BF, how much work have you done in puppeteer. The reason I ask is that I am trying to get used to it, but it throws me off at times.

I followed a tutorial on Daz on making a figure walk. It worked pretty well, but since I mostly work with Vicky 4, the result lacked something to me since the hips did not sway. In other words, my results seemed to me more like the strut of a male rather than a female.

I have done some research and it appears that in the feminine walk, the hips move from side to side and yet the head and shoulders stay pretty much still. In all of my efforts, both using puppeteer and with manual posing, the head and shoulders move counterintuitive to the hips. I have tried to correct this both by pinning and by compensating for the movements of the hips by moving the upper body to various degrees in the opposite direction to no avail. The head and shoulders always pendulum back and forth; what gives?
