I haven't looked at it yet, but Dr Geep has tutorials on the joint editor and on posing. You can find them at the above link

I went back and made more adjustments to the 30 frame walk animation I made which helped a lot. I ran it back through the walk designer with the new walk and now it walks more like I was expecting. The only problem now is that one leg (as you can see in the pic) is sticking out from the body a little on some frames. That however is a lot easier to fix that practically the whole walk! lol.

I thought about posting a animated gif file of the whole walk but it's 994kb (the smallest I was able to get it) or a 423kb video clip, but I didn't know if there was a size limit for that or if the video clip would work in the forum. I don't have a website at the moment or I would just post it there with a link.

If anyone wants to see it let me know and I'll set up a site to post it to.

Thanks again everyone.

Okay, the entire turkey's body is the abdomen. I edited the cr2 and changed all instances of abdomen to hip (even changed the GetStringRes number...thanks bloodsong for your tables). I even went into the obj file and renamed all instances of abdomen to hip (other wise the body didn't show up when you loaded it). Added IK chains to the wings (arms) and legs. Had to turn them off though because they kept making the walk look weird. And it will now work in the walk designer. However, (you knew this was coming didn't you?) when it walks, it sways back and forth and the legs look stiff. If I set the walk slider to anything other than 100% the wings stick out instead of against the body as I posed it in the walk cycle and the legs do funky things regardless of where the slider is set to. I'll post some pics when I get home tonight. Fixing to go to work so I don't have time to right now. Any ideas on this one? ernyoka1, you're right, this is the DAZ turkey and I also thought it was strange that it didn't have a hip. I thought all characters body parts were based of the relation to the hip.

Thanks Scott. I think we may be getting somewhere. I checked to make sure the turkey has all the parts you listed, and it does not have a hip. The thighs are connected directly to the abdomen. I did want to use it with the walk path, but I haven't been able to get it to work with the walk designer at all. Possibly because it does not have a hip? Do you know if there is a way to work around it, or create a hip for it without it acting really bizare? Do you know if I can rename the abdomen, or will the rest of it not work (ie the wings, neck and head)? Thanks for your help. whisper

Thanks bikermouse. Unfortunately I claim the picture. I snagged it off Daz's website just to clarify which turkey I had (since they have more than one). I pasted the IK chains because the heirarchy editor wouldn't let me add them in the window. I'll try and track down the tuts you suggested. I already found Dr. Geep's, but I didn't see anything to help. I'll check it out again. Thanks!

I'm currently running Windows ME.

Brian, I have IE 5.5 and have not had any trouble downloading from daz, even with the old store.

you can purchase the michael 1 cd which includes michaels clothing pak 1 and the wedge hair. You can purchase it at 3d commune for $10 less than at daz. However, if you want michael 2, you'd have to either purchase the upgrade if you bought the cd, or just buy version 2 to begin with.

Um, would it be, light? Whisper

WOW! I'm glad you all like it. It was fun to make. Now, if I can just find a good webhost (needs to be free at this point) that will allow remote linking, I can put it back in free stuff. Thanks for all the compliments!

You Welcome Melanie. Glad I could help.
