Then you'd just need to correct for the height difference between then which could probably be done with a single key on a new layer. I wonder if there's a way to copy the position tracks from the body to the hip. Good to know that it's storing path position in Body instead of Hip. (I should experiment with it myself sometime - another thing on my endless 'to do' list!). Probably extra keyframes would help - and the spline interpolation would help smooth out the transitions.ĭefinitely worth trying to see if it will salvage your walk designer animation. If your walk path is on a long curve, that could be a bit fiddly depending on how the 'tweening' works. If you create hip keyframes for the needed walk path, and use the spline (green) interpolation, you should get a decent result.

I'd suggest opening up the animation layers window, and try it in there (works kind of like Photoshop layers, in that changes are non-destructive to the underlying animation (the manual explains things better than I can here)).

This would in theory create the needed 3D hip movements in an exported BVH file. If you say, open up the frame when a specific direction movement changes, you could create a hip keyframe there, using the co-ordinates of the hip at that specific moment. Just wondering - I assume it generates a standard animation timeline, and as such, I would assume each frame would have hip translation coordinates on the dials. The walk designer in Poser is something I haven't really played with much to date (despite using Poser for ages).

At times, this can be a lot of trial and error if actual distance travelled is a critical factor. The distance you see the AV figure move inside of Poser may differ significantly when played in SL. I hope this helps fix your animation :matte-motes-smile:ĮDITED TO ADD: Also worth mentioning - Poser's measurement units can be a bit flaky when converted to SL, specifically the translation/movement in 3D space values. It's a common oversight in Poser - it took me a while to realise the HIP is the critical factor for the body's translation/movement in the 3D space. If you refer to your animation's keyframe locations for the BODY (the translation dials etc), and copy those values to the HIP dials for the same keyframes, your animation should work fine (you might need a little tweaking, but it should work okay). Reason I ask, is that the figure's HIP location is used for positioning etc within the 3D space, especially when saving out poses and animations as external files (and even as internal Poser animations and poses). Have you moved the AV figure's positioning in the animation via the HIP, or via the BODY?
