I know this is a SIMPLE issue, but my brain is fried...long story short I was doing the  Leonardo da Vinci pose

The legs (mostly the feet) have locked planted to the floor and are not moving. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Using Poser Pro 2012...

How did you unlock the arms?  I think, in P9, I would try Figure>Unlock and see.  To duplicate the limbs, are you overlapping two skeletons?


Ewers posted Mon, 01 July 2013 at 8:16 PM

Yes, overlapping. There are two skeletons. One I just put in a zero pose, and the other one I was moving. The arms don't lock...just the legs...they're like glued to the ground unless I upload them to do a pose.

Reset the parent(s) from Ground to Universe?

Uh...okay...where do I find that...?

Not sure exactly, but it is in the figure hierarchy list.

Just out of curosity, did you turn IK off?

IK?

IK?

Inverse Kinetics

With that answer, I would say no.  ;)

Figure>inverse kinetics> left|right leg

never understood why IK is on by default??

IK is "always" on by default. It can easily be fixed by turning it off and resaving the character to the library though :)

Another thing is that once you get used to working with IK (and gravity) it gives you much more believable poses in general. 

 

I think it's on by default because it makes sense in regards to animation. the fact is that few people animate, but well.. it's "habit" by now :)

 

And IK's with 99% certainty what's wrong here :)

I agree with TG and Willyb53; it sounds like IK being on creating issues.

Since IK is being discussed, starting with Poser 9 it is no longer on by default.

You can still have it, but you have to set it on or have a pose/script that does that.

That may be the case now, but models with embedded IK will still load with the feature on.
