Re: Short-legged Figures In Poser [4]
-----------------------------------
Hi turtlecroc and welcome to Posetteforever :welcome:

:mmmh: I don't remember how was working with animations in Poser 4, you probably lost the occasion to have Poser 5 for free, that was some time ago. This is to say that in the later versions of the program there are more options and commands. As far as I know it doesn't matter how the figure is made, but everything stands in the "key frames", if you start the frame 1 with the foot on the ground and end in frame 15 with the foot raised up, between the two frames the program creates a "curve" that you can manage in the animation window (I don't know if it's present in poser 4), the shape of this curve can be of different types, btw you can "brake" it for example at frame 15 setting a "key frame" at that point, so you brake the curve.
Based on what you described, you should add more key frames to the animation, You can even try some of those animation poses, there should be something in the default installation of Poser 4 and modify them for the shape of your particular character. Here on Posetteforever there is a nice :heartbeat: character that Andreas (Ahjah) made some times ago, it's made of joint balls, I think that some exercises using her could be useful.
