Hi all, I'd like to know if there is anybody, local to the Washington, DC Metro area that is very skilled with Poser 4 or even 3. You see, I'd like to meet you to get pointers. I know all about seting keyframes and such but poser does not behave like a real Animation program but rather like a toy. You set keyframe A and then Keyframe B and don't screw with any attached bodyparts and the darn thing more often than not overshoots its mark often twisting a hand into a pretzel and sometimes affecting body parts not even touched. Even If there are keyframes after point B, neccessary adjustments should never affect any of the key frames after Point B. I don't know of any 3D prog that behaves so unprofessional. I like poser but it really, really gets on my nerves. I like it because in general it has many pluses. I'd like you to show me what the heck I'm doing wrong. I understand the potential for screw ups when IK is on but with it off it should be problem free. Yet it is not. Some one needs to also come out with a very detailed book. Both the Poser 3 and 4 handbook really are not worth buying(I did) and the worst part is that the P4 Hanbook was for the most part a total rehash of the P3 Handbook. I don't like the manual very much either. Pete
