Are there tutorials on how to make body handles? Also,for those with Ajax's easy pose utility, do you think it possible to use body handles to manipulate the easy pose item?
What I want to do is create a cord with easy pose, but then manipulate it accross a floor using handles on the object. Maybe the utility already does this.. looking for suggestions.
Thanks,
Chuck

In general, a cord made with EasyPose has enough "controls" to get just about any form you need. It takes a little practice to get a sense of when to pull and when to use the parameter dials. Your desired movement may be more complicated, but I haven't found any shape that can't be reached by the combination of IK and Easy-Pose.

I've been wondering about body handles too.

Body handles are just body parts where the mesh isn't connected to the rest of the figure. There's really not much more to it than that. The trick is in setting up their joint parameters in such a way that they do something useful. If you look at the hierarchy of the figure's body parts, body handles are always children of "real" body parts and never have children of their own. This presents a problem for using body handles as ERC masters, since in Poser 4 children have difficulty controlling their parents with ERC. So if you wanted to give the body handles ERC control over the rest of the figure, you're out of luck. However, if you want a dial in the figure that controls the positions of the body handles, you could certainly set that up with EasyPose Underground since there's no problem making the body handles be ERC slaves. Say you were making a nudibranch (a sea creature like a worm with frilly skirts running along it's sides). You could have EasyPose to control the body and use body handles to make the skirts wave up and down. You could use ERC to control the body handles. Hmmmm.....now I'm thinking maybe I ought to make one :-)

Yes! I'd love to see an Easy-pose sea slug!

Are there any tutorials on how to USE body handles. The Anton beard prop I has them and I can't figure out how to use them!
