Hi all, I've just started to get into some of Poser 5's animation capabilities, and have run into something that's giving me fits. I set up a figure and applied a Mimic speech file, so the head is working fine. Now I want to add some realistic motion to the body as he's talking. I start off with his arms by his sides, and after a second, bring them up and fold them across his chest. Everything is fine so far. After a few more seconds, I want him to drop his arms, but when I do so, I create a curve in the keyframes that pushes his arms up way too far earlier in the sequence. I can go into the curve editor, and flatten out each curve for each body part, and each dial, but it does this for everything I move, and I've got a real mess. I want to just move a few parts, scroll down the timeline, move a few more, repeat, repeat, etc, without creating curves. I played with a few of the interpolation settings, and got some different results, but still not what I wanted. Any experienced Poser animators out there have some tips to share, or advice to help me find an easier way? Thanks! -Jeff
