Ok I am totally stumped on this ... I am not very good with tutorials, and everything I have ever learned in Poser and in Photoshop are things that I have learned on my own by just playing with the program...
Anways... there is an animation that I want to use pieces of to construct and add new and more advanced animations to it, but my problem is... the animation I am working on is facing forward and the animation I want parts of is facing to the side... I have tried rotaing the figure and locking it but wen I play the animation in SL it still turns itself to the side...
Any ideas? Please Help! I have been trying to figure this out for the last 4 days and I can't do it lol! *ashamed*

I think I overcame that problem by rotating the hips instead of the body as a whole. I had to go and reset the legs and feet where I wanted when I was done but it worked for me. I think everything I do in Poser is the hard way though. Maybe Chip will have some input for ya.

I'm not sure I have an answer for this one. Unfortunately Poser doesn't have seperate animation tracks for rotation and position. They're lumped into the same keyframes which is rather limiting. I think Corey is on the right track. You might try copying the hip keyframe from the animation that's facing the correct way and pasting it into the first frame of the animation that's backwards. Dunno if it'll work. I'm a Poser newb myself.
