anchoring people to a spot

KeithH

Hi -

Each time I switch poses DAZ3D moves my character in the scene. I do not want it to move my character. I only want it to change poses.

Would appreciate the help. Thank you

Most poses are made at or around coordinates 0,0,0. For some, that spot is even hardcoded, so if you move your figure to, say, 10,5,3, and then applied such a pose, it would jump back to 0,0,0.
Other poses were made for specific pre-defined environments in mind. So if that environment has a bench at coordinate 3,4,5, then the pose will move your character to that location. Sometimes packs with such poses also have a seperate version of poses for use outside their intended environment. Sometimes those default the figure back to 0,0,0, other times they will allow for posing on the spot they were placed.

It's a bit of a pain, but, the computer just can't read our mind to figure out what we want yet, so it just does whatever the data within the pose tells it to do.

There's also a CTRL+ Left-Click (PC) to add a pose that brings up dialog settings and you need to uncheck certain ones to keep the character from moving.

Moving the characters is sometimes a desired thing if the pose is designed for an object or place in a set.
