When using the walk path how do I get my figure to hold a object still whilst walking? I set the pose G2 and then the figure drops the object going into the walk mode. Also the figures shoulders collapse any ideas.

If you want to hold a cup then constraint it to the figures hand. You will probably need to adjust the placement. Do this by using the constraint parameters which you find under the Grouping list.

Richard60 Thanks and any ideas about bending arms as though carrying?

Walk designer adds a key to each frame for almost every body part. You can either delete all the keys for the arm parts to stop the walk designer movements, or add a layer in replace mode and at the first frame you want the elbow bent at adjust the dial value to bend it. Just make a single bend adjustment on the one channel at a time. If you do not make an entry on the new layer then the old information remains and is active. As soon as you make an entry in a channel then that overrides the layers below the one you made the adjustment on. A very easy way to remove unwanted movement in the walk cycle. doing this you have all the movements of the walk designer except the arm elbow bent is now what you adjust on the new layer. You may want to go down the timeline and put in a couple of more adjustments to keep the cup level.

Richard60 Thank you for indepth information I will when time permits look at your pointers. Thank you again.

Save your Holding pose as a partial pose to your library using the Select Subset option in the save menu. Make sure to only have tickboxes selected for the collars, shoulders, forearms, hands, and fingers. Generate a Walk sequence, then after generating the walk, go into keyframe editor and delete all keys for your figure's Shoulders, arms, hands, and fingers - reload the partial holding pose from your library.

There's probably an easier way, but I am tired. Hope this helps.

Hi tKR thank you so much. I am in possession of a new Samsung Screen to open my window on previously working only with the 17inch mac book pro. With the larger screen I am hoping to spend more time with Poser, and keen to follow your instructions. Thanks so much.
