Hello everyone, I am trying to create a scene with several different figures. Each figure is entering a room. The room is a set 3d object. As I am moving the figures I am setting a keyframe, it works out to about every five frames or so. At the end of the movie when I replay it appears that everything is running together. I am trying to make them walk but they look like they are moon walking in my replay.My camera controls/animation is turned off. What am I doing wrong? Or is it better just to do short animation and paste them together in another program? I am exporting into flash.But I am wondering why this is happening?? Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Webmagic

Try rendering the file. The display can't keep up at full speed.

Do you mean like a Michael Jackson moon walk? if you watch movies you'll often notice that you don't get many full body shots. do the same and you won't have to worry about sloppy foot work. As for pasting things together, i highly recommend that you not treat poser as a non-linear editor. it's much easier to use flash, or premiere if you are going out to video than to make a huge file and render it out only to find that you goofed. also when you make each of your scenes let the action preceed and carry through past what you intend to use. in scenes where characters walk you'll notice that characters often enter the frame from the extreme edge the camera pans them and then they walk off the other side of the frame. hope this helps if not then elaborate on your problem some more
