Hi maclean, Thanks a lot. I found the hint to switch off the bend option in SAMS3D's chest tutorial. The information about JointX / JointZ / TwistY + any SmoothScale channels is very interesting to know. I always thought you need them to set the Joint parameters as origin for a body part. The thing with the order of the axis is also a valuable information. I already have CR2Edit 1.52 by John Stallings, but after removing the translate channels I get an additional offset. Doing it with an editor does not have this effect. Seems to be a bug, so I used notepad for further editing. I'm very happy about the progress of this project and with your help it's gettin' better and better. Hope I can finish it until the weekend to send it to the testers. Thanks neighbour ;-) - Walter
