Hi,

I'm trying to create some animations in Poser 8, and I often find that for added realism, short, small,  and varied, yet repetitive movements are needed for the most realism in the animation. For example, the rocking of a ship on the ocean, or small subtle human motions. These motions need to take place every few seconds, and if the animation is long, it takes a really long time to create these motions. For now, I am animating these with manual keyframes, and manual posing. Is there a way to make these small motions any easier to create/duplicate? Even if the repeated animation is the same over and over, without any variation, that would still be a step above no motion at all.

Thanks for any help or suggestions,

-ST

Ockham has several python scrips that could probably do this. Natualizer produces small body movements and Repeater repeats animation from a number of frames over and over again. [

Thank you very much! That is exactly what I was looking for!

(Sorry for late reply, by the way. The "notify me when someone replies" doesn't seem to be working for me.)
