I created an IKOff scene, posed David and then Save as and renamed it as IKOn scene.

In IKOn scene I activated the IK of both limbs and moved the hip. When I was satisfied, I turned off IKs on both limbs and saved the pose.

I opened the IKOff scene and applied the saved pose after 15 frames and it did the deed. Yay!

The only problem now is everything is key framed in the next pose. I think there is a script out there that removes all unused keyframe? Anyone knows?

Okay guys I will follow your advice. I will see what will happen...

Someone should be able to make a python script fix to this.

Quote - I have to agree strongly with ockham here.  Disney isn't ferocious - they are RAVENOUS about protecting trademarks.  Geesh - they even got fired up about a Middle Eastern video using a pseudo-Mickey Mouse (r, c, tm) in an American defamation video!  Anyone doing such figures would hear from the Disney lawyers before the figure was released even. ;)

Make your own and don't make it available for others to use!  And then watch out when using it in any public offering besides.  Sad but true.

LOL. I saw that one. Its some weird children's video where the mouse teaches kids about jihad. In the end he was killed by an israeli soldier and become a "martyr".

(at least he didn't strap a suicide vest and blew himself apart in front of the kids eyes)

I had an account in rotica but I somehow forgot about it so I am waiting for my password. Thanks for the info guys.

I thought hansel and gretel are used only for props? You mean I can like parent a bodypart to a path created through it?

What we need is a revolution and a guillotine for these oppressors!

Without knowing this, it took me alot of hours correcting wiggles just to make this 22 sec animation.

The only problem with Poser 4 is it cannot do reflections to make water or mirrors.

Wow thanks Dr. Geep!

you can try blender as a 3d application because its free. Z brush is better but expensive and usually it is used in organic modeling.

Regards to designing, you can first take a look on some other advanced artist work, not to copy them but to train your brain and eye to recognize what is beautiful.

As all artists have been, they take inspiration and borrow design from their surroundings, nature itself. Ex. the volkswagen, there is a reason it is called "the beetle" or the elf warriors' armor in Lord of the rings which look like leaves. Mixing concepts is also a good idea too.

Its easy to create concepts unless you have a noisy left hemisphere brain that always wants to tell you what to do which you can always shut up by drawing and let the quiet right hemisphere work. Once you create a habit and practice all the time by having a neat little sketchbook with you wherever you go to jot down and sketch ideas, you will be a design machine.

A simple practice:

Find a jacket in your wardrobe. Then think, what can I do to make this look COOL? Think of a setting like, what if this is a jacket used for outerspace? Take a quick research and draw some little inspiration from nature or anywhere around you. Create your first design, it may look weird and not that cool but don't throw it away for you might be able to use it later.

You may overdo it with detail and sometimes simplicity and making drawing a habit is the key.

Since you are a beginner in poser there is a site called www.poserpro.net which have a general info in making clothing, dynamics etc and the rest you can find on the poser forum tutorial links so good luck and stay healthy.

But Vicky's size is too big for the town?

Hmmm.... Scale?

Poser has Poser 4 renderer which is much faster than DS plus it has shadow mapping and bump map too. Poser RULES!!!

Quote - and it adds a LOT of rendering time that i really could use back... with the postwork i do bumpmaps become totally irrelevant.

What? You mean you render a scene without bump maps then put the bumps later on? How do you do that? You use Photoshop?
