erikkell.gif I can create the posers. I just can't figure out how to put them in motion. I opened up my walk designer and created up a nice looking little thing, at least it looked nice on the little preview thing. I pressed apply, then clicked done... But, then what? How do I render my figure so that it's textures and everything work and get an image to look like the one posted above? I have Adobe Photoshop 5.5 as well, if that is a necessity. But, I really would love to know how to do this (something almost identical to what is shown above) or at least get a link to a tutorial explaining it, thanks a lot for any and all help! the image is courtesy of www.fwowrestling.com, I had no part in creating it.

Animation menu > Make Movie

In the Make Movie dialog box chose 'Current Render Settings' in the 'Quality' pull-down menu. You can then click the 'Render Settings' button to confirm that you have 'Use Texture Maps' and other elements you want turned on. Under the 'Sequence' pull-down you can chose to output to an AVI (PC), MOV (MAC) or Image Sequence (BOTH). Press 'OK' on the Make Movie dialog box and you will prompted to save the output file and choose compression settings.

Hope this helps.

Craigarino, Don't forget that in order for the walk designer to 'apply', you need a Path for your figure to walk along. If you have the Curious Labs version of Poser 4, there's some good stuff on pages 233-237 of the manual. Good luck, and let us know how it works out!
