Hey everyone,

I've tried searching through the forum and a few hours of effort on my own... so here goes with the question...

I'm trying to build a pose of someone wiggling their butt. So far, i can get the anim to look pretty good and smooth, except that the feet slide along the floor (I assume since SL is hanging them from the hips...) Is there a way i can compensate for / prevent this, reliably?

EDIT: I should be on SL for another hour or so --until SL 9:30. Feel free to IM me ingame.

I think you've encountered the same upload bug that's haunting all of us. Apparently one of the recent builds of SL messed up the way hips interact with legs, and the result is that feet slide instead of staying in place. It's supremely annoying. No ETA on a fix, but the Lindens seem to be aware of the problem.

There are a couple threads here about it, including a recent one started by me on hip trouble.

We came back from vacation determined to figure out why our animations weren't uploading only to find out it wasn't us after all.. Kinda wish it would have been, that I could have fixed already. grrr SL..

Just remember... the foot joint's connected to the... leg joint.
The leg joint's connected to der hip-pie joint
This joint's almost finished - do u think i need a stronger one?
