Giddyup is a set of animation poses for Daz's Mike4 for riding the Millennium Horse gallop in Giddyup/Gallop2010. It is suitable for creating both animated .gifs for web sites and video.  

It includes a gallop cycle for Mike4 at different settings: 20 frame in place cycle pose, 40 frame cycle with forward movement and a total of 640 frames, and a 60 frame cycle with forward movement and a total of 720 frames.

This product has only been tested on a PC and in Poser.

Required products: Daz Millenium Horse, Poser 7 Pro or higher. If making animated .gifs, a gif animation program is also required.

Unzip file and place in Poser>Runtime>Library>Pose


Instructions:

Load up Mike 4.  In the Poser Frame number area near the bottom of the program, delete all but one keyframe.  Apply a Giddyup for Mike4 pose.

If you would like to change the camera angle, lighting, or other settings, go to frame 1 to do so!  If the animation looks choppy, make sure you have unticked the "Skip Frames" option under Animation > Skip Frames.  If you wish to make any changes to the position of the animation, move the Body and not the hips.  The hips settings are a part of the animation and changing it will ruin the movement.

When you are happy with your animation, go to Animation > Make Movie and choose the format you would like it saved in.

Troubleshooting:

Problem: The animation is all choppy.
Solution: Make sure the "Skip Frames" option under Animation > "Skip Frames" is unticked.

Problem: When I change the light or camera settings, everything goes all over the place.
Solution: Change light and camera settings at frame 1.
