Subject: Multpiple characters in a scene is this in the manuals.

First of all hows everybody doing? This is something that is possible I see it but in both the manuals pro pack and the Poser manual I cannot find this. The Propack manual is not that good I feel and for spending the money I feel they should have given a printed manual since programs a lot cheaper have provided detailed manuals but I won't get into that but anyway does anyone know what page on either the poser or pro pack manuals it discusses multiple characters in a scene such as positioning interaction that type of stuff? I been through the manuals and I can't find them but you know when you sit and try to look at the same thing you get in rut.

I don't beleive it's in the manual anywhere. Are you having a problem with the characters?

Use the double check marks to load a second figure into a scene without replacing the first one. Is that what you mean? -Jeff

Not exactly what I was have trouble with trying to move the one character around with in the scene and independant from the other character.

Each figure is numbered Figure 1, Figure 2 etc, select which one you want, then from the body menu choose "Body" and move that around using the XYZ Tran dials on the right.

Thanks that kinda works I think there is something wrong with the meshes I created because upon exiting the setup room I have done everything as the manual says they seem to break up still and I think thats becasue of something with the grouping I move one figure and the mesh beacks up that may be due to so many smaller parts in the original mesh when I imported what I think I am going to send one of my meshes to a friend and see if he can convert it because its really starting to get on my last good nerve. BTW thanks for responding so quickly and for the advice. My problem is when I start working on a problem I get tunnel vision and forget about the other things I had earlier learned and keep looking in the same place I seem to think where the answer is. Thanks again.

Another thing if you are going to be movie a figure (except by its "body" or its feet): turn off IK. You said >>>I think there is something wrong with the meshes I created<<< Does this mean that you can move characters OK when using the ones that come with Poser?
