I'm new and couldn't find anything through a search on this. Sorry if it's been asked a zillion times before. I'm trying to pose two and three figures and keep having trouble with the individual body parts going into each other like they had no real mass. Is there a switch or setting in poser that tells the program that, for example, legs can't go into or through another leg? Thanks, E

Unfortunately there is no collision detector in Poser you just have to fiddle with the poses and view from various angles to make sure the parts don't intersect.

Collision detector comes in Poser 10. g Mazak

Take a look at this thread. Either we have collision detection in Poser 5 or in the next version of Pro Pack.

And if you use Python there is a script that lets you use collision detection, at least according the the Pro Pack book by Schrand. Just read about it on page 22. Marque

one thing that helps a LITTLE bit is that if you have two parts set up right, like one guy's hand on another guy's arm, to do "lock actor" on the parts that work right, or to turn on IK on the hands, or stuff like that. Mainly it's a case of the solution being "try harder." sigh.
