Hi Raven, I'm learning to animate too at the moment, but I'm using Blender with the paid plugin called Avastar (~$40). To 'lock' the collar bone in place on Avastar, you can remoe the collar bone from the 'bone chain' (so changing the length of the 'targetless IK chain'), which is done (in blender-avastar) in the 'IK chain controller panel'. I know you are using Poser 11, but perhaps there is a similar panel in that software? The method to reduce the chain length in Avastar is described on their tutorial page: https://avastar.machinimatrix.org/280/reference/usermanual/pose-a-character/ Essentially you click on the end bone (the wrist), and then in the IK Chan controller panel you click 'Less', and it changes the beginning chain (eg for the right arm) from 'CollarRight' to 'ShoulderRight'. Hopefully this might help you! Andi
