Subject: Saving Poses in exact X,Y,Z locations....

Howdy, I did this some time ago, but now can't recall exactly how I did it (as I've been away from Poser for a bit.... alright alright, it's age creeping up on me .... LOL ).

Anyhow, I created some custom poses that were of some wrestlers engaging in some aerial moves, (IE, a wrestler suplexing another wrestler off the top ropes), so their positions would obviously not be on the ground but rather in the air.  Now, my question is, how exactly do I go about saving these poses in the SPECIFIC X,Y,Z locations that I had them take in my original scene.  Each time I save it, it only saves the positioning of the limbs, but NOT their bodys location in the air (lets say they were both about 8 feet in the air).

Like I said, I did this before, and I believe I figured out how to do it in Poser 7, but Poser 6 and 5 have me stumped now.  It's quite possible that I used a third party posing software such as PoseMagic or PoseMagic2Pose....but I honestly can't recall.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance....  :D

A standard library pose doesn't save the BODY part.  Translations applied to the hip will be saved in the pose, but not those for BODY.  That might be the trick?

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.

Actually, the fact that I actually did this before and couldn't remember how I did it kept bugging me so I decided to figure it out once and for all..... and after further research..... I was right when I said a 3rd party file was involved.  It was indeed with PoseMagic and PoseMagic2Pose that I accomplished all this.  (great products by the way) It's good to know however that Poser 7 can apparently do this on it's own.

Thanks again for the help.
