She looks great; good work on the animation. Will you be posting an multiframe pose file of this? -JH.

Beautifully done! Where did you get that dress?

smiling--I'm glad you did post it. Really nicely done. The dress does great in animation, doesn't it?? I LOVE the dress. Diane B

I'm in love (again). Shouldn't this be entitled "June Is (not) Bustin' Out All Over" (with my apologies to Rogers and Hart) ::sorry, couldn't resist it:: In Love (again), geep P.S. Seriously - This is terrific. Wanna share the BVH file? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssseeee!

Just brilliant, well done.

That is absolutely superb Jim. Brilliant Paul

wow Quelle darche!

Absolutely brilliant! How on earth did you get her to NOT push her high heels thru the floor and walk flat footed? That always happens to me! (Er, my Posettes, that is) :]FishNose

Ok Jim, fess up... you're not getting out of here alive unless you tell us how you got the walk designer to do this in heels! (and personally Fishnose, your choice to wear heels is up to you. After all, Jim and Traveler opened their wardrobes to us... we make no judgements here... hehehehe ;P)

There is a very brief moment when her left leg comes to the full front that it does bust out of the dress near the bottom on the inner thigh.

looking stunned Amazing! Please let us know how you got her to walk in heels!

Thanks Guys & Gals!- I was working on doing some animated Gif files for my Webpage when the thought hit me- up to yesterday I hadn't even noticed Poser could export animations in serial images. I thought the dress flowed amazingly well, so I sort of had to post it. The secret of getting the posette to walk in high heels is after you run her through Walk Designer, delete most of the keyframes for the feet bend (keep only about every third one), also delete all but the first keyframe for the toe bend. Set the toe bend once, jump to the keyframes with the foot bend and set each one- just do one cycle (30 frames) of course, so your have to set about 11 bends for each foot. Set the height above the ground in the first body keyframe put one in the first frame), only have additional body keyfranes if you need to adjust the height finer. Once you get a good cycle you can add it to Walk Designer. The hardest part was getting the file size down so people wouldn't be mad at me! - I wound up using 15 images, about 8 fps, cut the GIF to 128 colors. I actually animated the ground, but then I made it a flat color so the GIFs would compress better. I put the images togeather in GIF Construction set, but I should have PhotoShop 5.5 up and running later this week, I think it will do it native. Gee, I wonder if Renderosity is thinking about an Animation Gallery? This one isn't any bigger than a lot of the stills.

Should we add a "Walk designer preset" section to the FS I'm wondering? I was thinking these could be added to the Poses section as is. An animation gallery might break the "bandwidth bank" so to speak ;-) -JH.

Thanks, Jim! I've been working on an animation project and this problem been keeping me at a standstill. This helps a lot. Incidentally, is the dress available for download?

Oh, I should have mentioned- The dress is (and the shoes) are available at my webpage: http://victorian.fortunecity.com/impressionist/1030/ I've also just got done adding this texture, too.

Jim, You do excellent work. Looking foward to seeing more. Did you save the anime as .bmp files from poser then convert to .gif? Especially enjoyed "Vice Raid" - reflections are very well done. (one observation, though - it appears that the "cop" is wearing lipstick - did I miss something? Thnx 4 sharing. Cheers, geep

geep- I think I saved them as Photoshop files, then I actually used every other one. I converted them to GIFs in Photoshop 5, using the same color map (Gee, I remember maps well, when I used to paint in 256 colors the first step was making up the color map- if it wasn't in the map you couldn't use it!) I had a lot of trouble with the guy in Viceraid, I think the Poser map for him is ment to be used with colored lights, it is really pale. I think all the Poser 2 (and maybe 3) figures were like that. Anyway, I aught to mention when I was helping the guys in the old Pics forum on Compserve hammer out the GIF89a spec, the thought was that GIF couldn't be used for animation, but even back then, when I saw the provision for a timing element in the multiple image control block, I just couldn'ty help myself..... (brings back old memories!)

Thanks, Jim. Looking foward to more like this one - it's fantastic. P.S. Visited your site and "borrowed" some of your neat stuff. Thnx 4 sharing. have a fantastic 2000. Cheers, geep

Yeah that is really nice......you should share the walk......I have a few animations myself including a walk in high heels and it was a pain to do...... Krel

Hey, this is sort of an old post, but does the walk designer and the method mentioned work on Vicki?

Why not? (kicks the hornets nest ... ... ... then runs away) ;=] cheers all, dr geep
