whats supposed to happen? with IK on, when you rotate her hips her body sways properly, unless you rotate them much too far in which case her knees may buckle, like any poser figures'. with IK off, when you z-rotate the hips, you rotate the entire figure around the z-axis, just like with any other poser figure. i dont see a problem. either way, over 2000 people have downloaded her by now, and i havent heard a single complaint other than one person who kept downloading a corrupt file (probably line noise, i used maximum compression in the .zip). if you want to issue an update jaager, by all means :) im sorry if i have seemed 'aloof' about your suggestions, its just that ive been busy and i cant seem to concentrate hard enough for them to sink in. my aunt is undergoing brain surgery at the moment, my grandfather just suffered a stroke and may die at any moment, and i fractured my wrist falling down the stairs (overexercised to the point of total exhaustion and my legs buckled while i was carrying my mtn bike down the stairs to the basement). so ive been hopped up on tylenol 3s and bacardi for the last few days and have been worried to death over sick relatives so i cant embark on any daunting mental challenges at the moment :) but i appreciate your help, its nice to know that someones lookin out for the freestuff contributor newbies around here :) cheers, gabriel
