Yes, an animation is very defenitely on the way. That's the main reason I made this - Normally I'd use Poser, but Poser can't do anything beyond the character - no special effects, explosions, that sort of thing (-: , and Poser chars arent animatable in C. I figured out something else on IK - if you want multiple indepent IK chains in one chain, (i.e. hands move arms but not chest, feet move legs not body) you need to make what I call a null target - make an invisible object, and make it the parent of the last object in the chain, and do not constrain it. Since it isnt constrained it will stop the movement at that point as it does not know how to interpret how to continue the movement. I used null targets for each finger (so they dont affect the hand) and after shoulders (so they don't move the body). Hopefully someone can benefit from that. If thats confusing Ill try to explain it better later. Nebula Supernova Sudios
