Quote - My Feet Wont Lift Off The Ground??????

Ok, we have all done this one and it's easier than you think.

You try to bend your characters shin and....... the foot will NOT leave the floor!!!!

Easy to solve.

Just select the Figure Menu at the top of the screen.

Select the Use Inverse Kinematics option.

Is there a tick at the side of the Left or Right leg options? If so........

Select the Left Leg option. The Tick will be removed.

Repeat the above for the Right leg. Again the Tick will be removed.

Now you can bend those shins and the feet will lift off the floor.

All the best.

Handy IK Trick for Poser

Works on P7 (and I assume onwards); if anyone can confirm if it works on older versions, please do.

 

I do this with any Characters I find myself using frequently. 

 

1. Load your character figure ("person") of choice into an empty scene and apply any morphs/ texures you desire.

2. Turn off IK on the legs.

3. Load a second figure into your scene, and conform or parent it to your character. It doesn't matter what you choose (clothes, hair, accessory, chainsaw, whatever).

4. Make sure your character is selected, then save him/ her back into the Figures Library under a new name.

 

Here's the "Trick"...

 

5. When you save, Poser will ask you if you want to save the Whole Group or Individual Figure. Choose Whole Group.

 

Now every time you load your newly saved favorite character, it will appear with the second figure attached and the IK will be off by default.

 

*Note that this ONLY works if you add a second figure, not a parented Prop or Hair object from the Hair Library
