When doing an animation and set up several differant poses for a figure, how do you stop the arms of legs from going through the body, while it is going from one pose to another? I checked the manual and the Help and guess or rather hope I am missing something and this can be done rather than manualy fixing each frame. Thank you Steve

That would be a really great feature. which version of Poser are you using? there are some tricks, not very good ones, specific to P4 & P5; in general, however, you just have to do it manually. A general purpose hint would be to figure out at which frame the overlap is greatest, and adjust that frame alone; sometimes this will fix things as well as providing some interesting ambient motion. Other times it causes your figure to resemble a pretzel. http://www.vrhome.com/traveller/images.htm

Although its not possible to give a simple one fix solution that will fit every case, the best starting point would be to set key frames at each interim pose (you may have already done this). Now apply a spline break to to eack key frame. An alternative but less satisfactory sollution is to make the whole animation linear.

Thank you for the information I guess this is going to take awhile to do this animation Thank you again Steve

Animation takes a lot of work but don't let that put you off. It is really rewarding. Poser's animation features are more than adequate. Cheers, Joe

Actually they are very quirky. But if you have the patience it can be done. PeteJ

pjanak: Interesting. How do you find them quirky? I may be missing something. Maybe they will see this and fix it in Poser 6.
