Hello,
I often spend time to animate manually in iClone 8 and sometimes I'm wondering why we can't get a feature like in "Poser Pro 2012" where we can grab a body part of the character on the screen, and just slide in a direction to make follow all the body part of the body naturally.
For example, I grab the right arm of the character directly on the screen to the ground, and all the other body part of the character are following naturally the direction. Then it's just adjustements to make a crouch position but it allow to earn so much time!
In the technical field I don't know in which category it could be, but I guess it's about a "bones parent" feature. This problem is more noticeable on objects like chains where we must move manually every bones one by one and spend so much hours for a good animation.
I hope my english is understable, thank you for reading.
