Pose Locking

dash2128

What is the best (and easy) way (or product to use) to- for example- lock the lower body, yet apply a pose?  ...like someone reading (using a Z-product, with prop), but the lower body needs to be locked?

There is a product, I hope someone can remember the name of in the store that will stick the feet to the floor, so they can't be moved during posing, so basically locking down the lower body to an extent.

You can also just select the topmost bone that you want to affect (probably pelvis here), then hold down ctrl(Win)/cmd(Mac) as you douible-click the pose - you should then get an options dialogue, one of which would be which bones to affect; you would would seelcted bones and recursive propagation.

In Scene pane or Viewport, select Abodomen Lower node if you use G3/G8, select Spine 1 node if you use G9. Hold Ctrl key to apply Pose Preset, choose Selected from Node dropdownlist, Accept. Then that'll be a pure Upper Body pose ~~

I bought Ultiamte Pose Mixer (https://www.daz3d.com/ultimate-pose-mixer) on sale several years ago to help with this.
