Hi there... I've been trying and trying and can't seem to find the right morphs and dials. I'm suing V3, have the head/body morph packs, and Poser PP. I am trying to get her to look like she is climbing, and I can't seem to get her to work.... There are so many dials there, and I can't find one that works lol Thank You AS

You probably need to turn off IK (Inverse Kinematics). Then you should be able to pose her legs into a climbing position.

suing her won't help..;) another thing to try is just moving the foot upwards on the 'y' axis, if it will let you..

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit

I will have to make this more difficult. To go up the apples (cockney for stairs. apples and pears: stairs), well, physically do so, and pay attention to your body. This is a very good way to learn how to pose. You will notice that your hips move also. When youlift your left foot and move it forwards on the stair, your pelvis also moves its left side forwards, and also sligthly upwards. This also happens when you walk, but on the stairs, your shoulders do not move in the opposite way, but in the same way: left foot forwards is pelvis and shoulder girdle left side forwards. If you only move the leg forwards, you get a rather "stiff" and woody movement, not unlike the ancient Egyptian style.

I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now I'll be mad. (Rumi)

Select V3. Click the menu Figure. Inverse Kinematics. That will show which of her IK-chains are set on. Click on left leg and right leg to remove their tick marks in the menu. Poser's habit of automatically setting legs to IK-on is a PEST.

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful input.... I would like to try and do my own posing, so I needed to figure that out. AS PS... I won't be suing her after all. lol

"physically do so, and pay attention to your body. This is a very good way to learn how to pose." The absolute best way. Same for drawing, too.
