I've been working on some poses and anims for somebody, and I'm having lots of problems with animations not looking like they do in the preview window. Things like twisting and bending of various joints, I seem to be having the most problems with legs.

Anybody else experiencing this?

When you upload an animation, SL checks the first and second frame. If a joint doesnt move at all between the first and second frame, that joint's priority is set to -1(everything plays over it). Conversely, if there is movement, and say you upload you animation at priority 4, that joint's priority would be 4 and nothing would play over it.


I'm thinking this might be the problem, or part of it anyway. Some of your joints might not move between the 1st and 2nd frame which lets the normal animations still animate your legs.
