Conundrum One - I've thoroughly tested this technique. Conclusion: It doesn't work in the conforming case, even though it does work in the non-conforming case, for one simple reason [that WE can do nothing about, but a programmer at CL could] - the order in which channels are applied. When conforming, the channels are applied from each part in their hierarchy order. rThigh channels applied before rShin channels. When not conforming, you can force any order you want, by placing the channels in that order. Tease: check www.shawstudio.com. You'll see that I'm claiming to have a work-around to this, as well as other Poser limitations. I'll explain all the gory details next month, when my utility is on the market. ;-) - - - - - Conundrum B: Limb Scaling Conformers This is a harder problem. It is best to abandon scaling completely - make a MORPH instead.
