Been working on these "puffy" pants and in this extreme pose, I notice that the "crotch" area is exposed (I assure you, this is not intentional ;-) Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on what I might have done wrong that caused this, or what I can do to fix it?

I notice, too, that the pants get rather funky looking in this extreme leg-bent pose....I guess it's because they are puffy? Is there something I can do to give them a more "natural" look when posed like this?

Thanks!

The easy way to your 1st question is to click on hip and uncheck visible. Magnets are probably whats in store for the puffy legs. They're easy to use but you,ll need a little practice.

If you're using Poser 5, you might try turning off polygon smooth on the parts affected. The Firefly renderer especially is notorious for expanding curves that the artist didn't intend, so this might help.

Check if the trousers have apply bulges set in the joint editor and turn them off if they are on.
