I might try doing it that way. Problem I am having alot is that the model moves and loses the prop in the other hand. Maybe I can parent and then lock the one hand not to move while moving the other. I pretty much been using the mouse to drag the body parts around, then fine tune with the dials. What this has done is move the whole body, mostly good cept when the other hand drops the props it's holding. Just tried using dails only, not dragging, and that was a DRAG! Have to do each part one at a time, and still lost it! QT? nope don't have it, not even sure what it is. That reminds me too, is anyone actualy using poser to make movies? Short or long, I think the above link was really the first time I saw one mentioned! I hear what a great Animation program this is, how how great it is supposed to be for making actual MOVIES and life like cartoons, but all I ever see are thousands of still pics! Any type of still pic, I can find, but I don't think I actually ever saw an animation anywhere unless just a little banner type of thing. I know the file size would be one thing holding back the number of online movies, but you would think there would still be quite a few. Just look at the porn sites! THEY ALL advertise thousands of feeds! I'll keep hammerin away at it. Thanks dizzo

Maybe I got it! does this sound right? LOCK ACTOR? Parant hat to head, select hat, lock actor(hat) Moving hat moves head! Moving man up and down moves hat! I think this is what I needed? Sound right? I did something like this with a model in a car once though, tried to adjust her body and she flip over through the windshield like hitting a brick wall! dizzo

Windows is giving me an error no decompresser found, and I can't view the link. Maybe latter when I boot off the other drive I can run it then I just tried, defult man when poser opens. Put hat on head, set parent to head, move man hat follows, move hat lost man. Can't I set it somehow to lock to his head so that moving either moves the other too? This hat deal isn't too important, but a dog leash is. THis one of my problems on this. Girl walks two dogs. leash in both hands, one for each dog. One dog runs left, should pull leash. Hand should move with leash but does not. Move hand, body moves, other hand moves leash should move. Since the body parts are all locked together, jerking right hand pulls body over and moves left arm and hand then it seems I should be able to lock the leash to the body so moving anything moves everything. That I can't do! Heres another one, same thing. Thought it might be a leash problem, NOT. I downloaded a shackle from the free section. I posed it to models forearm, set shackle parrent to figures forearm. Now If I moved the shackle should the forearm move too? Should the shackle move when the arm does? Using the shackle as an example, if I chian the model to a hoist by the wrists, Then I raise the hoist she should raise too, if I wiggle and giggle the model like she is struggling, she should stay shackled. This type of thing does not work for me and I can't figure out why! I giggle the model her hands pop free, move hoist shackles move from wrists or chain breaks setting her free! If I can get the shackles to work then I got the leash fixed too probly, about the same thing! So I geuss I will get into bondage posing, now I know why there is so much of it around :) How do I shackle the wrists so she can't get free struggling, and pulling the chains pulls her arms? dizzo

Poser5? Think maybe they will use the right mouse button?? That gets very agreevating Nothing on the right mouse! Millions of usefull things it could do in poser, but not one it does! dizzo

Questor, and ALL free file uploaders! Is that the actuall not for comercail opion you think about these files? Can I make a image or movie using a free "not comercail use" file, then sell the finished product? What if I do a comic book or TV cartoon? If I use a free Chair or Car some where in the finished product, how does that effect the finished product? Main Models I can track, but 2000 props is pretty hard to keep track of! Of course I would probably not use them stock out of the box, I would change coloring, size, shapes, and tons of other stuff. Is that still considerd the same in the finished product as using the free image. I see many files I looked at just say if you use this send me a note. Well that's nice and I would be really happy to do that. But then some say that and don't have a way to send the note! I can't send info if I don't have the address! Also many have no txt files at all, and many that do, don't say what file is theirs. I will be dumping all Chairs into a folder for CHairs! Models into a Model folder. Cars into cars, once I do this, the read.txt files get erased if a ton have the same name, AND if the file does not say what belongs to them, then how do I know I use it?? I am new to poser, Actaully I don't have poser, I have a friends whole computer that has poser. I am trying to figure this stuff out. He is overseas somewhere doing some comercail work for big bucks. He made a full back up of the system, locked it in his safe, then said do what you want! I have his manuals for it, but can't figure it out to well yet, been several days! I don't have poser on my system, so it is a bit rough, download files at home, burn to disk, take to his house and install. House sitting has it's perks!! But can be rough too! No phone, no net! Anyway, I'm legal, even though it's not mine. I plan to buy it when I decide if I can figure it out! When I use a file and do a render, is this render mine to sell, or is it restricted if I use a not for comercail use file in it somewhere? I plan to make some movies if I can learn the software. Got the scripts, story line, just don't know what I am doing! dizzo

Sorry about the double post. Internet stopped responding on the first click, I thought it did not go through! Sorry! dizzo

Thanks for all the free files! BUT, PLEASE use meaningful file names. Some thing that means something to US the downloaders! WHJGDSCB.ZIP???? Well I know it is a zip right! So does everyone else! BUT A ZIP OF WHAT!! Do you think in 3 or 4 days I will remember what that is? I just downloaded a bunch of poser files, I have several with filenames like that. I have NO idea what they are, just that it was something I wanted from renderosity downloads section, Only know that because of the directory I put it in downloading it. I downloaded clothes, models,props and other stuff, what is something like dhtker-1.zip Does that mean it works wth Dina (d) Heather (H) and terry (T) and so forth, Maybe version 1 and ker means it's a dog? It might be a sensible filename for your personal method of sorting files, but not very good for us. Maybe it is a swimsuit for Dina? I am downloading files I might need for a project I plan to do soon as I learn how to use poser, by then for sure I will forget what anything is. I don't need to load everything in the world just beacuase I have it available. THANKS THANKS THANKS again for making your files available to us! I do apreciate all the wonderfull files that are freeware, shareware (that actually work!) and all the poser files (whatever they clasify as). But please remember, many of us have 100's or even 1000's of files, we can't run them all everytime we want one just to see what it is! dizzo
