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.
