Just a note.
I've now used this parenting a ball to the figure twice. in both situations. I can just foget the graph editor. In no time at all. I can smooth out my motions with little effort. This lets me use two different poses pretty much at will without the complicted proceedures that were used in the past to about 5 times to completion, making it look nice and smooth.

I use the main final camera that I will make the movie in, and the Top camera. so I can make sure all the motion is corrected from point a, to point B. I did this in two steps. The final pose placement, and one in between. smoother than I ever could have before.

Now to conquer the Coth room. thanks again.
