Quote - Well real shins don't do zrot (at least mine don't). I don't think they yrot either. When it looks like those things are happening, I think it's really thigh twist that we are seeing. Besides I not suggesting forcing the limits, just setting them, so they can be turned on and off via the File menu.

Sorry.  Poor choice of words.  :lol:  Really, it may not be bad to set up some more restrictive joint limits on a special Antonia-WD build.  Assuming we'd use the figure solely for generating poses for the main Antonia version, restrictions which help create the best walk poses might be a good thing.  :unsure:

Quote - As well as hipHight (the parmeter), I think actual ytran value if the hip in the pose is worth investigating. bringing it up a bit might prevent the buckling. Playing with the yRotations of the shin and thigh may also help, but sounds devilishly complicated.

I'll try a version with the hipHeight raised on Y.

If we can determine consistent changes which are needed for any limb in the poses, we can apply them using a script, much like what's been done so far.  I'm afraid the worst troubles really are coming out of the default handling applied by the Walk Designer itself, however, regardless of the poses.  :sad:

Quote - i've got bloodsong's book. is this the info you were looking for?

p.159, Initial pose, IK favoring, memorizing....

Thank you, jancory!  I'm thinking about picking up the book on Amazon next month.  :laugh:

The trick is more straightforward than I thought, but unfortunately I don't see how it will actually help us here.  So I'm sad.  :sad:

 

Although, it would be good to create a "Favored IK" pose for Antonia.

@odf:  If you're there, what do you think about adding an IK-priming pose to the main distribution when version 1.0.1 comes out?

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.
