I turned Vicky's IK off to pose her into a semi-kneeling/laying position, But when I turn the IK back on her Ankels both do 480degree+ twist!?! Ouch, that gotta hurt! Why dose this happen, AND if I save the pose (without morphs) does this mean I have to have IK=Off when attempting to use this pose on anther figure???

um... cuz ik is flaky? when ik is on, the limbs don't obey their limits. strange things also happen when you create a pose with ik on and try to turn it off. (you can't win.) any time you apply any pose to a figure that has ik on, you will get weird results. so yeah, you need to turn ik off before applying a pose, and not just yours.

ik locks the figure's feet to the floor. ot is almost like they are parented to it, so when you turn ik on you are getting poser to place the soles of the feet on the floor. try lifting her off the ground with ik on, her legs go wonky from the ik.

Thanks, thaaaat clears it up. (still looks like that would hurt, some kinda new yoga move I recon;)

Jaqui, not exactly. When you pose a figure with IK OFF, and afterwards turn IK ON, then the feet stay put in the very position you've put them last. On further movement of the figure the other limbs are distorted. When you have "use limits" on, some VERY STRANGE things can happen. I'd think IGOHIGH had just a combined problem if this kind.

jobcontrol: "When you pose a figure with IK OFF, and afterwards turn IK ON, then the feet stay put" That is what I thought should happen but instead the feet just twisted around and around with no further movements of any body parts....? I might add that the feet wher both off the ground (bottoms up)
