Quote - Another thing, Someone did or has an idea how can be done:

valueParm1 = sin(valueParm2)

It doesn't necessarly need to be exactly a sinus function, any periodical function with a similar shape can work. With a sinus and cosinus I can make a centipede walk with only one dial.

Check out old posts by VK in the Poser Technical forum.  You can apply sine and cosine to joints and ERC, but you need to use a series of dials to arduously hand-code every mathematical step in the process.  It's not easy stuff, but it can work, apparently.

 

Edit:  Maybe it isn't a series of dials, but a series of ERC blocks.  See, I need to re-read the VK stuff myself.  :lol:
