Good Advise. I will have to try this. As I mentioned. I have only messed around with the cloth room, but I want to use it hopefully in all my new movies.

There is a little trick I had just came across that had worked great. I had parented a figure to another, so I could carry the person to the person that was doing the carring. At the end of the walk. The person put the other down. I wanted to then change the parent of the characture being carried, but In doing so, I wanted the person being dropped down to be able to move freely. So I parented them to a low rez ball located at the torso. Then Made it invisible.

This is nothing so new, but what I was able to do, that could have taken me a long complicated process. In using one pose, then adding another pose 20 frames later. the characture ended up at an angle that would have been complicated to fix.

But to correct the bad angle with out all the work that would have neen done int the graph editor. I just moved the characture to the spot I wanted, by way of using the ball to smoothly move all the coplicated angles, and put the characture in place. Without the graph editor. The characture then moved freely with no bad complications.

This may have saved a new way of using 2 poses that don't match up correctly. I know the legs can be a problem if it is a full body shot. but in making a movie. most of your full body shots are not all that often. Mostly about the waist up. also most of your full body shots are mostly walking, running. sitting or standing. Things that are of a progressive motion that don't need to be interupped.
