Yes, that kind of thing, but more elaborate. I should have been more specific. What I'm thinking of is a collection of poses each of which can be dialed to different strengths and which are designed in a way that makes them composable. For example, one could have a dial for left contrapost and one for right contrapost, then a dial for turning the torso, and various dials for arm poses, etc.odf posted at 5:07 PM Thu, 3 February 2022 - #4434348
... are there any posing systems for Poser figures that use ERC in order to move several body parts with a single dial?You mean master dials, something like arms up-down in the body actor of default LaFemme? Click the small triangle in the top-right of the parameters window and select 'create new master parameter'. You then enter the definition and 'learn' process.It may take a little exercise at first.
An important feature of that DS system I saw was that the individual poses kept the figure in balance. I think that's something people tend to struggle with the most when posing characters. For example, if I bend over at the hip, I have to simultaneously shift my hip backward or I'll fall over. As meat space entities we usually do that instinctively without thinking about it, but a Poser figure wouldn't.
