Can you set priority for all joints with Poser 4?

(apologies for the double post! However, I thought this would be more reasonable than bumping the one below.)

In Poser 4 (perhaps this is the problem), I created an animation using the SL_Male avatar from the SL website (after saving it first to get rid of the loading errors) with two frames.

The first frame I left untouched, while in the second frame I moved every body part a bit so that the default priority would not be -1.

However, I still find that the arms will shift about and the hands will open/clasp from time to time because of the default animations.

Is this a problem with Poser 4? I tried adding a keyframe for both 1 and 2 as well as just adding one for two. I set the priority to 4 and loop.

I've seen this work with other animations, so clearly I am doing something wrong. Hopefully it's not the version of Poser, but I suppose it could be.

As far as I can tell, SL doesn't import any of the finger configurations ("morphs" from your Poser-produced BVH files when you upload a new animation. You can still set it in Poser to give you a visual idea of what you're going for, but that information is lost when you bring it into SL. You have to determine the hand morphs with a menu in the import window that pops up after you've told SL which BVH file you want to import. I've also noticed that, generally, I can't count on the hands staying consistently in the shape I want unless it's priority 3 or 4. If it's absolutely essential, I generally assume that it's got to be priority 4.

Maybe you've figured this out already...if you're doing all this and still having problems, we can meet up in-game and experiment a little.

Are you using Poser 4?

I have tried using the Fist option from the drop down menu, but the hands still flex in awkwards ways from time to time. I set everything to priority 4, but it's still not very reliable.

This lack of documentation makes this whole Animation thing seem a bit like alchemy..

BTW, I really appreciate your reply. I'm not on much, but I'll try to look you up in world and I'll show you what I've figured out.

Thanks again,

Hands are a bit glitchy. Always have been.

Hi Iron, I'm using Poser 5. Though I'd not made finger animations, I tried it.

1. Default posing 1 frame loop animation was good for any finger animation.
2. 2 frames loop animation; one is default, another is just copied default frame, didn't make fingers move.

I guess this problem is nothing to do with any version of Poser.
I keep up studing.

Sorry, though I tried above test yesterday, I was not sure why it worked fine today.
The priority setting 0, the hand morph anims didn't work, but other settings, that is, more than 0 worked well. hmm.... I'm afraid I can't help...

hehe, Sorry for my post again and again.
Today, I failed several times but sometimes succeeded.
Hey, no doubt about Reitsuki's comment, "glitchy". hmm weird.

I met Iron by chance at the A'ksha desert.
The world is small.
