Quote - Oh! I just read one of your later posts, so "hipHeight" is not the hip origin! Quote: "It's pretty close to being Antonia's hip center, though". Perhaps it is the center of the bounding box?

The hipHeight value is the origin of the hip.  In that earlier post, I was checking Posette's hip origin against the hipHeight listing in the P4 walk cycles.  The values in those walk cycles are strange, not matching anything.  😕

But Poser Python can return a figure's hipHeight and feetDistance using one of the built-in methods.  I used this command to get the correct data for both Antonia and Posette, as listed above.  This verified hipHeight as the Y component of the hip origin.

Quote - No, PNU never changed, I think that would be theoretically impossible. What changerd was the conversion factor used to convert PNU units into real world units, and vice versa.

Ah.  I understand.  I still don't see where they got the values for hipHeight and feetDistance in the P4 walk poses, but oh well.  :shruggy guy:  :lol:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
