Hello, I am trying to animate a poser character using the walk designer. The animation is fine. Then I run the Z-Toon Python Script by Ockham. But I get very weird results now. I generally understand this problem might occur because the walking animation includes different z-values, but is there a way to solve this problem? I would really need the walking cycle of a cartoonie Poser guy.

Interesting. Looks like the guy is losing a prosthesis! My first thought is that IK is getting in the way. When IK is on, the angles shown on dials disagree with the real angles. (I don't know how this happens, but it does.) If you can make him walk without IK and the walk designer..... maybe by setting up 4 basic poses..... ?

That was it. I don't understand it though, but turning of the IK did solve the problem. THanks a bunch :)

I don't understand it either! IK is magic, but sometimes it's bad magic.
