>Just in case we need a reminder, just what is the problem? I sent a ZIP file (I think it was called JONAS.ZIP) that Anne moved to the appropriate area. I assume it's still around, and it had a text file that described my problem. Basically I could not get IK to work properly on that enclosed .3DS file. I had generated the file with a script I wrote that did automatic walking, but no matter what I tried I couldn't get both legs to IK properly (one would work and the other would wobble like Deputy Chester). Although the follow objects "walked" perfectly, it seemed to me that the only difference between this and my experiences with IK that worked was that in my file there were keys on every frame (due to how my script calculates the walking movement). I appreciate the courtesy about the time — if it had been extremely urgent I would have complained more, but with 3DS there's just so much to learn (always!) that I've just busied myself with other areas (learning Key Factory, for example). If only I was retired!
