PMJI, but thanks very much for the information. A couple of questions if you
get back on-line soon:
<< The Shreiber IPAS that was mentioned is called Puppeter, and is actually an
R3 IPAS that is available now. It isn't an IK but rather a constraint-based
manipulator. >>
Are you saying that it's utilizing *_foward kinematics_* with constraints ?
<< While the R4 IK module mathematically constructs the frames for movement
based on motion parameters that you set rather than keyframes, the Shreiber
program requires that you set keyframes. >>
So the YG's IK is *_procedurally driven_* only ? Interesting.
Thanks,
BILL
