no, this is not a c&d post! well, okay, it is, but people should be warned about this!! all right, i have one horse figure, and one tail figure. i very painstakingly create a walk cycle for the horse. i save it as a pose file, i save all the frames, i select a subset and save everything except the ground plane. then i do the tail animation. i resave the pose file, i save all the frames, i select all the subsets, blah blah blah. i go to check the pose file. i apply the pose/animation. the tail applies. there is NO horse. it's gone! that's the SECOND smegging time poser erased my smegging walk cycle!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! and i did everything RIGHT this time!!! poser ONLY saves the smegging character you have selected, even if you select them all in the select subset thingy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::sob sob:: horse gait pack 1 is gonna be delayed some more. :(
