Re: Short-legged Figures In Poser [4]
-----------------------------------
[quote user="tda42" post="41932"]Not really sure what is happening. Can you make a picture of it. I think it might have something to do with the bones or IE Chain. :mmmh:[/quote]

It's hard to make a picture since it's animation-related, but if you start up Poser w/ the default guy, then shorten his thighs and lower legs (to about 50%), and then add the ~weightlift animation (under one of the pose menus), then play it, you'll definitely see what i mean. The feet keep going down until they're noticeably below ground level.  

There are white outlines of the feet at ground level when you start shortening the legs...is that related to the IK?  It's as if the animation values assume default leg length, or perhaps they use absolute values relative to the hip which seems to be the center of the figure. 

The same thing happens if you load default guy, then change his proportions to toddler or infant and add the weight-lift animation (or any animation in which the hip goes up/down relative to the feet.....)
