I have read the manual and several of the tutorials on Renderosity, but one issue remains:

The poses save just fine... but their locations relative to each other do not.  Hence, when I reload poses with two Figures, they do not take up their X,Y,Z locations as desired.

Would anyone be able to help out here?

Hi patriot,

Saving the "Pose" only saves the geometry of the figure's Body Parts ...
... but NOT the location of the "Body" in the studio.

You can save what you want using 2 different methods.

1. Save the entire scene (.pz3 file).

2. Parent one figure to another and save the figure in the library with both figures included.

When you add the Pose to your Library, Check the Body Transformation and that will place the Figure at the same point in the Scene. This is used for Multi figure Poses. The draw back is they are always loaded at that location, so to move them from that point, you need to do so after applying the Pose or the figures will pop back to where they were.

geep, it depends on the version of Poser.
If it's 7 or up, you can save Body position in the pose, if it's 6 or less, you have to move the figure to the position you want via the Hip and then save the pose. You will need to turn of IK though.

Thanks for that clarification.  I have P7 but only use P6 right now.

I could have sworn I tried it with Body Transformation checked... I will try again.

I ts I might have needed to select both the Universe AND tbudo it, either.

I tried Body Transformation again.  The V4 figure works.  I must be doing something wrong with the M4, though. 

AHA!  I got it :)

No parenting at all... JUST Body Transformation :) I guess simple is better, huh?
