<< it works! >> I'm very glad that this is resolved for you. Yea! << doc's need some help. .>> All of your comments are appreciated. IK is a powerful and thought provoking tool. All of your comments will help us improve. Thanks. << Earlier on, you mentioned that for a walking human, you would use paths. Are you creating your paths in 3D Studio or in Autocad? >> 3ds only. << You also mentioned that you wouldn't use the interactive screen to do keyframing. >> This is because I'm trying to solve for specific positions based on the joint parameters. << Is the only way to accomplish this with this version of IK to become a scripting guru? >> Not at all. The flip.zip was done with *no* scripting at all. Besides the assemble.zip example, I haven't created any other paths for the follow objects using scripting yet. I plan to tho'. << I'm really hoping I can work with this program interactively. I mean all the work since the Xerox lab days has been about trying to make the computer understand what the human's trying to tell it. Venturing off into programming kind of ventures off into a different mindset, don't you think? >> I was curious if you'd had a chance to review the dummy objects in flatflip.prj found in flip.zip yet. Do a path-show, hit the "h" key, and toggle individual dummy objects on and off. Each of the dummies was keyframed with only a few position keys. I then let Tempo, deal with the accelleration /deaccel. between specific frame ranges. If you don't have Tempo yet, download the demo version from IPAS Usage and review the paths in there too. Please check it out and feel free to ask question. Again.. I'm happy that in now works for you.. now lets have some fun with it. jonas[adesk]
