Download the tutorial at the bottom of this page. It has lots of JP related pictures. He has the Propack Blood. He doesn't need to edit the .cr2 file. The Propack has the option to change the rotation order in the JP editor. Cal: Forget about what X,Y,&Z means. Because they don't always do the same thing from figure to figure. You need to understand the basics of JP's. And they are very simple: 1.)the twist axis must run down the length of the body part 2.)the bend and side-side type axis are swappable. It just depends on what you prefer. 3.)the placement of the handles of the joints are crucial 4.)shperical zones and there placement are crucial 5.)blending characteristics can be reduced by editing .cr2 files. Don't get hung up on the letters X,Y&Z. They are nothing more than names that don't have any real value to the Program. As far as the JP editior is concerned. I've tried to beat that into people heads. But they can't accept it ;-) ScottA
