I've been using Poser pretty regularly to do animations for a project I'm doing. I've read a few books on character animation (Doug Kelly's book - Character Animation In Depth, and George Maestri's two last books - Digital Character Animation 2 - vols 1 & 2 --all great books btw). I am having problems with those subtleties. I have my character walking around, stopping, pointing, acting surprised, showing ojects, etc, etc... But what I'm finding is that all the movements tend to all blend, even when I try to hold a pose, my character still moves alittle, like he can't wait to get to the next pose. I've been working alot with the interpolation graphs and the splines, but clearly this is no easy task. It seems sometimes Poser has a mind of its own. I've used the linear and break tools alot to try and get some better timing but to no real satisfaction. It also seems that Poser doesn't let you hold a pose by simply creating a pose at say keyframe 10, then going to keyframe 30 and pressing the "add" keyframe tool, instead I think you have to copy all the keyframes at 10 and apply them to 30 - kind of a pain. Can anyone help or recommend some tutorials specific to Poser on this topic. I believe it was "Saxon" who steered me towards his website and he has a nice tutorial on spline interpolation and it helped alot, but what am I missing (or is it just experience)? Thanks, Chris (a frustrated animator-wanna-be) PS:I'm starting to play with AM, anyone use it here?
