Hi Camile,

Here's a special class ... just for you ...
... because justme1212 thought it might help you learn Poser.

cheers,

P.S. Please feel free to ask questions at any time. ...

Is anyone using this one anymore?
800 x 600 ???  ___ No, not big enough.

Dr Geep recommends a minimum recommended screen size of 1024 x 768.

Note - This class will be using a screen size of 1280 x 1024.

W A R N I N G ### Dr. Geeps Site is higly addictive

Let's make a simple pose by clicking and dragging on one of Simon's body parts.

What's that? :sad: The legs won't move? ... Hmmm ... let's find out why. :blink:

Pssssst ... It's called "Inverse Kinematics" (IK) ... Next ...

Normally, the hand is "parented" (controlled by) the forearm ... and the feet are "parented" to the shin ... when IK is OFF.

When IK is ON, the hands and/or feet are "parented" (move with) the "Body" and not the forearm or shin.

Don't try to understand all about IK right now ... just know how to control it.

Where is Poser's "Floor?" ... Next ...

Now ... let's read ...

"The Tale of The Three Little Axes, X, Y, and Z" - (axis is singular - axes is plural)

The X Axis runs through the Poser Universe from the left when it's negative, e.g., -1.000, to the right when it is positive, e.g., 1.000 and when it is neither negative nor positive, e.g., 0.000, it is exactly in the center.

The Y Axis runs through the Poser Universe from above the "Floor" when it is a positive value, e.g., 1.000, to below the "Floor" when it is a negative value, e.g., -1.000 and when it is 0.000 (zero) it is on Poser's "Floor."

Note - We can use the [menu] "Figure" >>> "Drop to Floor" (Ctrl+D) to place a figure or a prop on the "Floor" so if Simon is "floating" after he gets posed ... here's how we can bring him back down to the "Floor" (zero on the Y Axis).

The Z Axis runs through the Poser Universe from the front when it is positive, e.g., 1.000, to the back when it is negative, e.g., -1.000, and is in the center when it is 0.000 (zero).

Now, back to the Main Camera ... We can use the Trackball to rotate the Main Camera around the center of the Poser Universe (where X, Y, and Z are all equal zero)  ... or ... use the "Dolly" parameter dials to pan the Main Camera right/left (X) , up/down (Y), and front/back (Z).

Dr. Geep, You are so kind in doing this for her.    will give her and her husband the link today. With the privious tuts that you wrote and these, I'm sure it will help her.

Sonja

C'est mon pleasure ... She (and/or her husband) can post any questions they have here in this thread and I will do my best to answer them.

cheers,
dr geep

 Sonja

I had given the link to her husband yesterday. Hopefully you will soon.

Ok, thanks.

This is Camille again, I am so sorry but I just do not know how to get my figure onto the workspace.  That is my problem

Hi Camille,

Do you have a figure in your workspace? ... Is it Simon? ...

What figure do you want to get into your workspace?

Is the Figure you want to use in your Figure's Library?

Good to "see" you here.

cheers,
dr geep
;=]

P.S. Thank you Sonja

Dr, Geep.
  Your most welcome.
      Camille works during the week. So she most likly she will not be back here till then.

When I first started Poser. I became so tired of deleting the characters when such as Simon. sO I just deleted him, and saved as blank., so I could just place the figure that I wanted. I had Camille do the same. I also told her, she can click onto the Poser.exe and that she will have Simon back. :-(.   I wish I could do a remote control with her. we tried once before but had trouble doing so.I've done this before with no problem, but I have Xp and they have Vista, and for some reason won't let me.

Say Good-bye to Simon.

Say "Hello!" to Kate.

:scared: Oh NO! ... Poor Kate has no hair ... Let's fix that ... Next ...

Dr. Geep have you heard anything more from her?
      Sonja

No, not a peep! :huh:

Thank you for this Dr geep especially the delete figure. This has really helped me get started thank you again

Hmmm .......... shall we continue? :huh:

Dr. Geep;
  I for one really appreciate all the work you have done on this and the other tutorials.  It looks as though that these and the first series that yu did have helped other people.
