I have a problem saving multiple poses and then getting them to load in the correct relationship to one another. For example I create a pose with 2 men fighting. I select each figure and save the pose individually. When I create a new scene and apply the poses to 2 new figures the poses are correct, but they are not in the correct position in the studio. When I load them the X, Y & Z transforms are all 0, but the figures are in the wrong places. I am missing something when I save the poses. Can somebody tell me what it is. There's nothing in the manual about this that I can find. Thanks in advance..

I believe that what happens is that Poser will save the X, Y and Z trans for the hip to the pose, but it won't save any changes made to the "body." If the positioning in space is important to the pose, make those adjustments in the hip body part (and any the feet and hands if you have them IK'd).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help. Yes, it's an issue with the hip movement. Moving the body screws things up. Selecting the hip and then applying X, Y, Z to move the figure around works fine when you save the poses. Moving the body does not. I also got a great tutorial from SCHLABBER about making multiple poses that explains this. Thanks!
