hahaha, I know what tut you're trying to follow (looking at the hair :) ) - I downloaded it and watched in slow motion.

Just let me find it and maybe I'll be able to help you with shortcuts because I almost finished it (almost:) )

edit

got it - blenderella 04

I was searching myself but coudn't find any usefull information.

In my case, these bones are not going to be exported anywhere, it's just a habbit from poser to have some meaningful names instead of X,Y,Z which confuses me a lot :)

Anyway if you found it was still in development then maybe it's better to change the habbits and get used to default names.

Thank you for your info, I won't bother about this anymore:)

Quote - You can parent the hand to the thigh.

First (for example) turn on IK for the right hand.  Then you can parent the right hand to the right thigh.

IK must be on to parent hands and feet to anything.

Bill

yes, but the result (in animation) is a nightmare (of course it depends what kind of movement is involved) anyway if you want to parent then I would add another figure without IK on hand and make it invisible (whole figure) and then change between figures when necessary.

here you can se short animation with 2 figures showing alternately

another reason for second figure: you cannot change between IK and "no" IK in animation. If you start with IK on hands it's gonna be very difficult to later on (belive me:))

I stopped playing with poser some time ago but I was mostly doing short movements animations.

There is no solution for that - turn IK on hand and make some key frames and try to make the movement as close to the thigh as possible. At first this approach may look easy but it's not - sooner or later the joints will get twisted beyond any repair:)

Better is to make it without IK but then you need some practice and remember to keep keyframes not too close to each other - this approach is much more difficult but it will give better results

Another way is to change the animation - completely remove that part from your project (since in most cases the results are bad).

No good news:)

putting all frames together is not as hard as it sounds.

For example , virtual dub, ju only need to open first picrure and the rest will be done automaicaly (assuming rest of the pictures have some pattern in the name: 001, 002, 003 ...)

Quote - I still don't get it. I have a 300 frame animation. It's for an adult dvd virtual sex program. They keep telling me they need the animation in true 60fps. So, step by step, how do I give this to them using poser to produce the png files, and After Effects to assemble and export a quicktime 60fps file.

 

Sorry I  am so thick. All your help is appreciated.

You just have to make some simple calculations and adjust your animation inside poser accordingly - you will have to make greater gaps between keyframes in poser if you want 60fps (if your original animation was aimed at 30fps then its quite easy - just double it).

Quote - OK, I'm confused. I set render rate to 60fps. Image files. Shouldn't I have twice as many image files than if I rendered at 30fps? But in the folder, it's the same amount of image files. UGH!!!!

I have not read the whole thread but what you're assuming is simply wrong - you won't get twice as many frames (pictures files on computer) - never. Making animation 60fps will result in the same number of frames only playback will be twice faster than 30fps.

on the properties tab of any object click on the small key icon near the VISIBLE check box - this will add one more dial (visibility) - now you can make it disappear an apper.

It works in p8 - don't know about p12:)

You can open wmv with VD.

what you need is:

http://home.comcast.net/~fcchandler/Plugins/WMV/index.html and put it into plugin32 or plugins64 folder (make such folder inside VD folder).

second thing you need is: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=6191 just install it.

You can do this in virtualDub (convert avi to png)

Load your movie, go to menu [FILE] > [QUEUE BATCH OPERATION] > [SAVE IMAGE SEQUENCE] and the dialog window will appear where you can set picture format you want (including png), frame range and destination folder.

Pls note that in earlier versions of VD this option is located directly under [FILE] menu (I think so)

Hi,

could you give a link to other site - I was asked to register to see your page (and I won't do it:))

windows 7 (but 64bits) - standing and action universal poses are loading fine on my side at frame 30 (ryan, ryan LR and ryan DEV).

Could you give the name of the pose you are trying to apply (problematic one)?

I've been trying most of them (at frame 30) and poser is still running :)

I haven't followed whole thread but I think it'd be easier to copy "stereo images" folder into python script menu folder (that's from my computer: c:Program Files (x86)Smith MicroPoser 8RuntimePythonposerScriptsScriptsMenu) - now you can easily access every script by pressing ALT S (top bar python script menu) or even assign some keyboard shortcuts to them.
