===== How to open the Pose Editor? =====

  * Start the Game and **"Login**"
  * Click on **"New Scene"**
  * Click on **"Pose Edit"**
  * Select the **"Location"** you want to edit the Poses in, or chose the Pose Edit location with standard props.
  * Click **"Start"**
  * Choose **"Person"** you want to pose
  * Choose **"Type"** of pose to be edited: Interactive or animations.
  * Choose **"Body Part"** you want to manipulate... and **HAVE FUN!**


**Note: The 'Pose Edit' location includes standard base furniture and props that when used to create specific poses ensures the poses will be usable in all scenes.** 

The base furniture in this location is standardized scene to scene and location to location. 

For instance if you use the chair in this location to make a 'chair pose', that pose will work on all chairs in all scenes. Likewise if a pose is made to work on a table it will work on all tables in all scenes.

Depending on how a pose is animated and the angle desired for a new location some tweaking of poses may need to be made on the spot. In-scene location spot posing allows for fine tuning of the intricate details of a generic animation to be made specific to an exact location in every detail.

{{:en:editors:pose_location_room_small.jpg|}}

The Pose Edit locations has the following standard posing props:

**Everyday:** sofa, table,  wall, chair, floor. 

**Fetish:** trestle, cross, pillory high, pillory low.

===== Pose Editor - Control Panel Overview =====

The Pose Editor UI allows control of every aspect of animating sexy poses for 1 to 3 characters.

The main dialog allows for selection of the **location** of a pose and **type**.

=== User Interface ===


The UI uses a collapsible menu system that expands the dialog box to show more granular controls for each
section.

^ **Collapsed View**      ^ **Expanded View**       ^
| {{:en:editors:ui_pose_editor_collapsed.jpg|}} | {{:en:editors:ui_pose_editor_open_pose_1.jpg|}} |

For extended list of controls use side bar slider to view complete lists.


===Selecting a Body Part===

Once a panel is open adjustments can be made. 

When the panel is closed the changes are saved.

**Undo** and **Redo** can be performed at any time to revert back to a previous position.

{{:en:editors:ui_pose_editor_undo_redo.png|}}

There are two methods to choose body parts to manipulate. 

^ **Method 1 - List View**      ^ **Method 2 - Mannequin View**       ^
| {{:en:editors:ui_pose_editor_open_pose_1.jpg|}} | {{:en:editors:ui_pose_editor_open_pose_mannequin.jpg|}} |


By selecting different body part icons on the different body areas on the mannequin different controls will pop-up on screen to allow that part to be maneuvered.

{{:en:editors:ui_pose_editor_mannequin.png|}}

Body parts that can be manipulated can be chosen on the mannequin by either of the cross or circular icons.

**//NOTE: Some body parts can only be changed using either one or the other of the 'translation' or 'rotation' modes but not both.//** 

{{:en:editors:ui_pose_editor_mannequin_mode_select.png|}}

a) **Translation** uses the **'cross'** symbol icon, 
b) **Rotation** uses the **'circular'** symbol icon.

===3D Space 'X-Y-Z' Movement Basics===

Once a body part is selected and one of the two types of controls has popped up hovering on the colored targets on the control then clicking allows for X-Y-Z manipulation.


^ **Translation Mode Control**      ^ **Rotation Mode Control**       ^
| {{:en:editors:ui_translation_mode_control.jpg|}} | {{:en:editors:ui_rotation_mode_control.jpg|}} |

**//NOTE: The 'translation' and 'rotation' mode controls change 'shape' and function when chosen and alternated between.//**


Colored target areas corresponding with the X-Y-Z axises can be manipulated with the mouse by moving in the corresponding basic directions:

**X Axis = left and right**

**Y Axis = up and down**

**Z Axis = back and forth**
 

^ **Translation Mode - Arrow Shapes**      ^ **Rotation Mode - Tube Shapes**       ^
| {{:en:editors:ui_pose_editor_translation_control.jpg|}} | {{:en:editors:ui_pose_editor_rotation_control.jpg|}}|


Clicking on the red-blue-green parts of the controls and then holding and dragging will create different behaviors with mouse movements.

===Fine Tuning 'X-Y-Z' Positions===

If precise control is required for a pose when on Method 1 Pose view use CTRL=A to toggle between the standard UI and details dialog box.

The details form has 3 columns corresponding to X-Y-Z and numerical data in each field. 

To fine tune a position of a selected body part enter new data  

^ **Pose Panel - List View**      ^ **Pose Panel - CRTL + A - Details View**       ^
| {{:en:editors:ui_pose_editor_open_pose_1.jpg|}} | {{:en:editors:ui_pose_editor_open_pose_crtl_a_details.jpg|}} |


By selecting different body part icons on the different body areas on the mannequin different controls will pop-up on screen to allow that part to me maneuvered.

<wrap tip> **TIP:** use the interactive controls to get the part as close as you can and fine tune the numbers only if you need to be more precise. </wrap>

Experimentation and watching the tutorials is the best way to get a handle on the animation panel. ENJOY!

**See the [[en:editors:poseeditor:pose_edit_basic_animation_panel|Animation Panel tutorial]] to see these controls in action.**

===Adjusting The Height of the Model===

It is possible to adjust the overall height and limb proportions using the controls under the "limbs" section. These controls are found in the animation panel.  \\ 

{{:en:editors:poseeditor:pe_limbs.png|}}

This allows you to create models of different heights. \\ 

{{:en:editors:poseeditor:pe_height_comparison.png|}}

<wrap warning> **Warning** There are a number of things to be aware of when adjusting model height. </wrap>

  * These adjustments are pose specific. You can't change the actual model proportions in the customizer, only in an individual pose.
  * Someone downloading a pose with adjusted height will need to have purchased the pose editor to view the height changes. They will be able to view the height in the regular game or in sequences, but only if they own the Pose Editor option. They will still be able to load the pose if they don't own the Pose Editor, but the models will revert to their standard heights and the pose may not line up correctly.
  * If you use a mixture of poses that have height adjustments and poses that don't in the Sequencer, the height of the models will change when the Sequencer loads a new pose. This shouldn't break the poses, but the continuity of your sequence may look a bid odd. (Hey, wasn't she taller than him in the last shot?)
  * If you load an existing pose and make the legs shorter, the model will float above the ground. This is easily fixed by adjusting the positioning of the model (see image below).

{{:en:editors:poseeditor:pe_height_issue.png|}} \\ 

<wrap tip> **TIP** - If you share poses with adjusted heights on [[http://www.gamerotica.com/|GamErotica]], be sure to include tags and a description that mentions this. That way users looking for "short man, tall girl" will be more likely to find them. We suggest a shorthand tag of "TMSF" for "tall male / short female" or "SMTF" for the reverse. You get the idea. </wrap>

===== The Pose Editor Timeline ===== 

The timeline uses key frame animation techniques to make basic or interactive animations. 

There are two types of animation that can be created. A "basic" animation is a straight playback of the animation while an "interactive" animation allows the user to interact with the model and control the animation playback. E.g. by putting their mouse on the hips of a character and moving back and forth to control the thrusting action.


^ **The Timeline**   (Interactive version shown)      ^
| {{:en:editors:timeline_-_interactive.png|}} |

**Keyframe Indicators by Character**

Each individual character is represented by a different color 'bar' in the timeline

| {{:en:editors:timeline_1_character.png?|}} |

Green Bars - Main Character = SexMate

{{:en:editors:timeline_2_characters.png?|}}

Red Bars - Second Character = MySelf

{{:en:editors:timeline_3_characters.png?|}}

Blue Bars - Third Character = 3SomeMate

=== Filtering Keys in the Timeline ===

You can filter the keys displayed in the timeline by closing sections that you don't want to see. E.g. if you close all the sections except for the "Face" you will only see the face keyframes displayed in the Timeline. This can be really useful when you want to adjust the timing of just one type of animation.

{{:en:editors:pe_filtering_keys.png}}



=== Animated vs Interactive ===

The timeline has 2 different modes depending on the type of animation to be created or edited. 

**Type 1: Animation** 

A basic 'animation' is just one long timeline split into 4 sections. The animation will play from the start to the last keyframe and then loop back to the start again.
For Example:
  * If you just create one new keyframe at the end of section 4, all 4 sections will be played in order (1-2-3-4). 
  * If you only create one somewhere in section 3, it will play section 1,then section 2, then section 3 up to the last keyframe and start over.

**Type 2: Interactive** 

In this mode the 4 sections contain 4 different animation loops that are triggered under different conditions. The 4 numbered sections are initially set up to each contain a colored loop but they can be redefined to accomodate loops of different lengths.

===The Different Sections=== 

In Interactive Mode the 4 sections are initially setup to contain the 4 different loops. \\

By rightclicking in the timeline you can set the Start/End of each individual loop. So, for example you could set the end of the Normal Loop to the end of section 3 and cramp the remaining loops into section 4. Just be careful not to overlap the different loop sections. \\

**//Green Section - Normal Loop://** 
This is the loop which is played initially, up to the point where a person reaches his/her orgasm. 

**//Red Section - Orgasm Loop://**
 
When a person reaches an orgasm and this loop exists (you don't have to create one), this loop will be played. 
It will be played at least once, but if by chance you get a multiorgasm, it will be looped. 

**//Blue Section - Cooldown Loop://**
 
After the orgasm, the cooldown loop will be played until excitement reaches a certain level. Then everything will start over with the Normal Loop.   

**//Grey Section - Penetration Loop://**
 
This is a special loop that will play as soon as a user interacts with a person or sets the speed slider above zero within the game. See the [[en:editors:poseeditor:pose_edit_tutorial_3_-_basic_interactive_pose|Interactive pose tutorial]] for a demonstration.

Only items linked to 'interactive' targets will be animated by this loop and at the same time override all other animations on those targets.

===== The Key Editor ===== 

The Pose Editor includes an advanced key frame editing window called the Key Editor. This window displays all the key frames on the selected model in a grid format. 

{{:en:editors:poseeditor:key_editor.png|}}

===== Tagging Poses ===== 

Poses can be tagged in the Pose Editor. Tagging poses allows people to find them more easily when you share them on [[:en:gamerotica|GamErotica]].

To Tag a Pose in the Pose Editor
  - Load an existing pose or create and save a new pose
  - Click the "T" button at the top of the Pose Editor
    * {{:en:editors:poseeditor:pe_tagging.png|}}
  - Add new tags or assign existing tags. Click on Available tags to assign them or Assigned tags to remove them.
    * {{:en:editors:poseeditor:pe_tagging_panel.png|}}
  - The tags will be assigned to the pose. You don't need to re-save the pose.
