Hey ... Sorry if I'm in the wrong place, but anyone there could help me?
I wanted to know this:
I was wondering: how can I use the "create path walk" in three characters and Make Them Walk, each in a different direction at the Same Time?
note: I have used the walk path in create three M4s, but They end up Following the first M4.
thanks

I don't have Poser Pro 2010, but assume it works the same way as in P6. A Walk Path is a prop and you can change the position and orientation of a Walk Path via its Parameters Palette just like you would for any other prop.

There are two ways you can do it.

1). Create three walk paths. Translate each path so that they each have a different starting point, and yRotate each so that each has a different orientation. Run the Walk Designer, assign figure 1 to path 1 and apply the walk cycle. Then  assign figure 2 to path 2 and apply the walk cycle. Then assign figure 3 to path 3 and apply the walk cycle.

2). Or create one walk path, assign figure 1 to the path and create the walk cycle for that figure. Then move the path, assign figure 2 to that path and create the walk cycle for that figure. Repeat the steps for any subsequent figures.

For this animated gif I used 3 walk paths, each figure is assigned to a different path. Each path has been moved to a different position and has a different orientation. You can't apply all the walk cycles at once. You apply a cycle to the first figure, then apply one to the second figure, etc.

Oops! Now it worked!
I was not aware when going to apply the walk, now I did as you showed in your first image, and applied the path to the corresponding character.
I'm using m4 in daz studio, poser pro in 2010 and now is working
Thank you.
now ... I saw that after apply the path and walk, no longer how to fix some things in character, as translate the arm, the head rotates counter etc..
you can change it later?

You can change things after you apply the walk cycle. Or, if you don't wan't the walk designer to affect some parts of the figure, you can lock those parts before applying the walk cycle. After applying the cycle, unlock them, they will not have been affected.

If you need to lock/unlock a number of parts at once, it can be done via pose files. Take a look at my freebie "Lock Actors V4" poses, at sharecg, they should also work on M4.

Hello,
you were a great help to me, thank you.
But I have a problem in "Lock V4 Actors"
I wanted to know: This "Actors Lock V4," works on a PC with 64-bit win7?
thanks
