Hi again everyone.

Just ran into a little problem when I imported a pose in for M3. Before I imported the pose the rotation of the limbs etc., were just fine, but now after the import all of the joints of the body are locked up. Can anyone tell me how to free up these joints so that I will be able to rotate them freely again? Thanks much.

Namaste;-)

Although I've been repeatedly warned on the DAZ forum that what I do won't work,
The only reliable way I've found of getting poser poses to work is to turn off contraints, then checking "Leave limits on" in the warning box that comes up.
Downside is that IK won't work, and body parts will be able to be moved in XYZ translations (with really weird results). However XYZ translation is immediately obvious and easily corrected with "Undo".
By doing this I don't get distorted joints and lockups. All you have to remember is to only rotate the body parts and not to move them up and down, back and forth, or in and out.

Thanks much, B. I'll give it a go and see what happens.

By the way, if you're importing a pz3 from poser, turn constraints off before importing. Unless your using transposer, in which case it doesn't matter because you can't pose.

Thanks again, B!

I also struggled with constraints. Changed all joints to ball joints and set XYZ  to "Free". The difference is, I can use IK.
