Quote - Yes, the animated pose can be OK, as a pose, but not OK when used as a walk blend. I think that frame 15 (k 14 in the pose) usually seems to be a bad frame for knee bukle. Is it just a coincidence that this is exactly half way through the walk cycle?
I'm only noticing this problem when a walk path is involved. When walking in place, I don't see a problem with any blend of the poses (other than some trouble with the fingers). I'll run a test and see if I'm overlooking something.
Apparently the trick for setting the "favored IK angles" is discussed in Bloodsong's book, *Secrets of Figure Creation with Poser 5. * Google books previews the opening paragraphs of that section, but omits the part where the secret is revealed. :lol:
What limits are you setting on the joints? That does sound like a move in the right direction.

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.
