heyas; have you guys seen the tentacle and whips and stuff by ajax? really hella cool. (if you knew all about it, why didnt you tell ME!?) ajax has made posing long tubular things much easier with what he calls the 'easy pose' method. it's basically rc..whatever (what did they decide jcm stuff should be called?) (i just call 'em master and slave dials, but dont think anybody would go for calling it poser s&m.) anyway, the body part rotation dials are slaved to a base controller part (or parts), so that turning one dial on one body part will get the rope/whip/tentacle/tail/tube to coil up or curl around or twist, etc etc. ajax also came up with another cool trick that i didnt think of... i actually did use it, but didn't think to do it on other things. if you substitute 'r/lhand' or 'head' in the cr2 for certain body parts, you can get the face and hand cameras to work with them. you dont need to name things in your obj as hand/head, just the internal poser names. pretty spiffy!
