Is there a way to easily convert poses to the other side. Like if your model was standing on her left foot with her left hand on her hip, make her switch to her right leg with her right hand on her hip? I'm sure there has to be something I'm missing besides redoing the entire pose. (Watch the answer be staring me in the face)

Poser 4 I assume Try Figure > Symmetry I won't go into too much boring detail, there is a good enough description in the manual I believe ;o)

Don't worry about it, I'm sure we've all been there ;o)

Except that it doesn't work very well. I've been wrestling with this for a while now, too. There is an option to swap right and left, but it hardly mirrors the pose. It just goes all screwy.

hmmm... can't claim to have used it much, maybe it depends on how complex the pose is, it works for me with a simple pose... I assume you have the latest update/service pack?

left to right / right to left seems to work too! that mirrors the pose nicely... sorry I'm not sure what else to suggest... maybe you could host the scene somewhere so someone could look at it?

I use it a good bit. Works ok, for the most part but you have to be careful that the figure you want changed is the one selected. Otherwise it really messes up.

Well it wasn't for just one pose, I've found a lot of poses that I like, but would rather them be facing the other way or whatnot. Just a basic general use. I've been loading it into poser, pasting the image on the background and just redoing the entire pose from scratch with SOME luck, but it's a pain in the rear end if you ask me giggle

When I get home I'll post a few pics. I am assuming, of course, that I haven't missed anything obvious. ;) What I've tried is: making sure that the figure>body is selected then go to the symmetry menu and select "swap right to left" or whatever it is, then Vicki goes all crippled on me. Or do I have to do it on element at a time? That would be a RPITA.

That should be "one element at a time"

Actually I just tried it on a number of different poses and it all worked really good for me, a lil minor tweaking needed, but other than that, it transfered the poses pretty good (and some were really difficult poses to begin with) I'll do a few renders and post a few to show the transfer.

heyas; first, make sure your ik is turned off. second, if you have other figures in the scene, you'd best lock them (figure: lock figure) before performing the operation, it seems every time i do one of these, ALL my figures swap. now the problem with the symmetry, any kind of symmetry, is it only does the limbs. you'll have to 'reverse' the torso, neck and head yourself. just reverse polarity on the twist and side-side settings.
