how to simulate physics, without actually having them?

hello, i was trying to see if anyone could help me with this quick problem. since there are no physics for daz yet, (hint hint daz :D) maybe someone could give me some keyframing tips, or some kind of method to animate a person falling to make it look "flailing" or natural. to give it a ragdoll look, i am sure this would take godlike keyframing power, and the only other thing i can think of is to mocap it...but i don't even begin to know the methods of that...can i get some tips or advice here? ------thank you for your time in advance.

    if no-one else responds with a better one I will upload a pz2 I did in Poser 7 of M4 falling down using ragdoll.
    (I say "if" because it is not terribly good, my physics sims spaz a lot like the poor guy is having seizures!)

    please give me as many of these as you can do lol, they are pretty cool, or maybe link me to more somewhere. although i would like to find a way to do it myself, so i can have my figures hitting walls and rails.

    I used Poser 7 and Poser physics for P7 (I have alo got PP2012 but not the physics python plugin for it yet)
    that is one way if you want to do it yourself %-P

    as I said if no-one else can find better ones, might do more and maybe put a set on shareCG if anyone interested
    need suggestions and figures
    Also I am not terribly good at it, can only really do simple falls, my keyframed hits etc tend to fail

    well all i need really is some falling that starts with casual standing, that leads into the fall. maybe some falls that start from kneeling or sitting. i use genesis figure mostly, but that one you used for M4 worked perfect on genesis so no problem. maybe you could do some other creative falls, like being thrown or falling from off of something. i dont know how poser works really, because i planned on buying it later this year to do things every now and then daz cant sometimes, like physics.

    ok M4 walk into wall

    used CMU walk, included readme as stated as condition of redistribution
    also list of others so you can tell which ones to link to physics as I cannot use poses made by others without permission but these ok with readme

    fall off building backwards

    I need to close Poser each time unfortunately as I am so dumb I do not know how to clear the python stuff!!
    so nit doing many, just list what ones you really really want and I will try some later

    from a casual standing position, arms down naturally, and maybe a kneeling one.

    forward and backward falls
    I cannot do a kneel as my own poses go beyond pose limit and do not know how to stop that
