This is all that I can think of. Anyone know any others?
I've included this post as a separate text file; just click on the link above to download it.
Oh! And if you Press "Alt" key while clicking on some "interfaces", like "tools" & "document styles". They will switch between Horizontal & vertical positions... And i think that if you do a pose in frame 1, then switch to frame 10(arbitrary), make a second pose. Then just use Page Down & Page Up to see the transition between the 2... Tada! Anik
... that "Alt" thingy for the "toolbars."
I like it, but ...
Now I'm gonna hafta rearrange my whole screen [which I have used very happily for decades] to accomodate their different shape on the screen.
Doggone it, doggone it, doggone it ...
cheers,

;=]
Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"
cheers,
dr geep ... :o]

Blame it on my Brother Viomar, Geep! :-) He's the one who showed me all his tricks... So, curse at him if you must! And don't bother making faces, causes he won't be able to see them! I guess you don't want to know the trick that brings "collision detection" to poser??? Runs off to hide behind Viomar... smirk! Anik
Yeap! I was a "jester" in another life... But, My bro did make a plug-in that's partialy working for Max, that does just that! So, far it crashes on meshes that have to many vertices... But, who knows??? Maybe the folks at Curious Labs have already sloved that for poser5!(Crossing fingers!) Basically, how Marco went about it is simply create what's called a "matrix" in programming, that keeps track of vertices or faces for "predefined" groups. There's already a good explanation of the priciples & algorythms invlolved available in 3D Math books... The problem with doing it with the vertices, is that it gets too complicated for even High-End PCs(p4 1.6ghz) too handle! So, the only "Viable" aternative is with faces or groups of them... Anyhow, Back to "posing"... Tada! Anik
