Ok, I solved it! :-) I did install patches on my old Poser4 program, but the latest patch, installed some time ago, was directly from the person who originally programmed the product, and at the time, he claimed on his website, that it was the latest and final patch. I should have followed up developments at the Metacreations site instead! I downloaded the patch from Metacreations, and my version number now reads V 4.0.3.126 And V3 is FIXED! :-) Sorry for the trouble! There is at least one user here, who doesn't have that patch either, the one from the three girl pic, so I'm glad I'm not alone, looking stupid ;-) Anyone experiencing left collar deformation on V3 PRIOR to any posing, upgrade to V 4.0.3.126 The upgrade is free, and available at www.curiouslabs.com

hmmmm that is interesting...Sharen

The mystery deepens :) My Version reads 4.0.3.127 and I still have a problem with the left shoulder AFTER posing. :) Irene

Gee, you mean the reason DAZ couldn't figure out this problem was because it was actually unique to your system, because of an bad patch? And to think you were so (publicly) upset about them not coming up with an instant fix. Don't take this the wrong way, but DAZ makes its money selling Poser stuff, I sell items there myself, your slamming them (let's be honest) for not instantly fixing something they (now obviously) couldn't duplicate or understand hurt them. Mistakes are made, doing Poser items is getting to be a very complicated thing, sometimes you have to be reasonable about getting things fixed.

Aaargh! NOT metacreations! www.curiouslabs.com of course Slip of the tongue

@ Jim Burton: Yeah, well, if you don't shout, you get left out. I never experienced anything like this before, and I have bought many products from many sources. So I was completely stuck: I was convinced I had all the patches. And I had invested heavily into V3, because she is an awesome model. If they had told me they where continuing to think about the cause of the prob, I certainly wouldn't have shouted, because DAZ are the very best, indeed. Poser is an old proggie and it changed hands a couple of times. I patched mine up continuously as new patches became available, until somewhere I read "this is the final patch". So I didn't check out curiouslabs download area. What can I say? Does everybody else have the right patch? Well, then I guess I'm stupid. Can't help that either.

@ Irish: V3 is tremendously realistic! She's in a class of her own. She is also inmensely complex, so you have to be real careful when you pose her. Posing is an artform in itself, which requires dedication and practice. Me? I'm a lazy bum so I use ready made poses most of the time, and then I tweak those till I get what I need ;-)

Yes, I do the same Phoenixblue - call me lazy too!! I don't mind the tweaking but I just did not know that it (the shoulder thingee)was a problem others had as well. :) Irene

Yeah, well, if you don't shout, you get left out. I've noticed that the people on the short bus usually talk louder than average.

Irene: > The mystery deepens :) My Version reads 4.0.3.127 and I still have a problem with the left shoulder AFTER posing.< Same problem here. And same version.

this smacks of another far off entity for some reason

It's curiouslabs not meta-has-been of course, Petunia. @dodger: I may be a short bus person; you may be an interstellar traveller. Sticks and stones won't break my bones. Good day to you and have a safe lng trip to Alpha Centauri.

Just curious to see how long this goes before thread gets locked.

I must be a short-bus person because that Alpha Centauri bit made no sense to me whatsoever.

Mine reads 4.2.1.179

My Mac version say 4.0.3.127 so V3 shouldn't have any funky bits with the shoulder when she gets here next week :-)
