lol well I kinda makes you lost me at the calculation Web x 15fps =20. I dont know what the Web Part of the calculation means? Yes I do want to eventually make my little animation to be viewed fromthe web so I guess to set the frame rate to 15 i do that in the animation setup correct? Basicly all Im really trying to do is get the feel for it so basicly I created a figure unfortunatly I already hi rez her and added clothes shoes ect to her so I dont know how much that is going to effect everything anyhow, all im trying to do is get my character to walk from one side of the screen to the next. Im really struggling on setting the walking motion from the start position then when to figure out where to set the next keyframe for when she moves one foot in front of the other then when to switch them back. Then once I achieve that I can adjust other motions such as head movement expression ect. sorry if my question are makeing me seem difficult but I really am a nice person and appricate your guys help.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH im getting confused okay here is another maybe stupid question but i need to ask it How do you know how many frames to set for you animation, I mean it starts out with a defualt of 30. I mean in the poser user guid they give this equation Frame Rate X Duration = # of Frames. Then for there example they used a man going from a sitting position in a chair to a standing position. They calculated the time it takes to stand at 3/4 a second so the equation was 0.75 X 30=22 frames to complete the action So dose this mean I should do every action one at a time then after the first action is done like standing up from the chair which used 22 out of the 30 frames, then say I want to make him walk away, so do another calculation and add additional frames or is there a better way to calculate the total amount of frames you need to complete a scene.. hope that wasnt to confussing

Yikes well hmmm that dosent really make alot of sense. It would seem more reasonable to be able to see how its going to look before you wait 2- 6 hours for the movie to make then to discover hey wait a minute that dosent look right. anyways thanks for the tip Bongo. How about I give you all my idea for what I want to make and you guys make it and just sit back and wait for the finish product...lol j/k im sure I figure it all out sooner more likely later but practice makes perfet right? (at least we hope) Dark Raven

this kinda sounds like my first animation problem. I too is trying to learn animation feature in poser 4 pro pack and let me tell you the tutorial in p4 guide with the walking clown sucks butt. I tried to follow the tutorial but starting with Vicky 2 character and when she walks it seems it takes her 4 frames to move down that long walk path. however if i turn the skip frames off she moves at 1 motion every 30 seconds it seems. Also a problem with the tutorial in the P4 guide and in the Poser 4 hand book I bought it suggest to leave IK on so after reading these post now im even more confussed.....:-( Dark_Raven

Hmmm I think you might be confused mdcq you dont have to pay Daz3d 100 dollars to join or purchase items in there shop that is just a special membership that allows you to purchase things at a discounted price other wise it is free to buy things well almost free you still have to pay for what your buying Dark Raven

thanks guys I feel better about it all and not feeling like my skills dimished with this purchase. I do have tailor and thought about trying that it just sometimes im not patient and hate waiting for all the morphs to apply in tailor but anyways If daz released a clothing pack for v3 I would definatly buy it, and I think it would help everyone, specially those that can do good cloth textures to make new styles for quicker then trying to model clothes for her anyways happy posing all Dark Raven

Another question is How do I mask parts of the dress, then apply a texture I been playing around with that since my last post and cant seem to figure it out in psp 7 or ps7 if any of you can help please send me a little step by step by e-mail or post it here would be helpful and you have some free time to spare thanks again Dark_Raven

Thanks guys for all your help I will give it a try and see what I come up with, im not to worried about the inside and outside parts cause basicly what im going to attempt to do is make this like a snow white casket where the main parts our clear but that is another question after i get the map done, all i really want to repaint is the edges give it a gold type color and make the trim look a little fancy...:-P as far making a glass type texture for the walls how should i go about that i know i can just make them white in poser then make the walls of the coffin trnsparent that part i tested and worked fine but I kinda of want to get a realistic glass reflective look, so do I just need to paint those areas like like a white then make them somewhat transparent map what is your advice on this? well im off to work on it I will let you all know how it turns out

Well im using UV Mapper by steve cox, as far as saving the image with map do you mean after I load it in uv mapping and im assuming I need to selct box since that is what the coffin is a deformed box do you mean save the model from uv mapping then save the map? sorry im very new at trying to make my own textures so please bear with me Dark_Raven

I cant seem to find the midevil dress at poserstyle I went to there site and looked for it but they had textures for the dress for free but no dress is there a dirct link you can send me? Thanks Dark_Raven

hmmm yes Sams3D that kinda of makes since I havent realy got the hang of using mask in PSP7 or PS7? Also will that technique work if you want to start say with a template of say a dress or shirt and you want to use one of the seamless titles to decorate the whole peice of clothing that is what my question was really refering to doing. sorry about the confusion but Im very interested in using your method if I can just figure out how to effectly use mask if you know a good tut on that I would be very interested. Thanks queri I will go there now and check out the dress. you both have been helpful thank you Dark_Raven

oh i forgot to mention I have PSP7 and PS7 so tutorials for either will be fine Dark_Raven
