3DNeo, you might also check out this thread on the same sort of joint deformation topic including sample images of knee and buttock deformers for extreme bend poses: http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=1946492 Before the making the set of deformers that the images in that thread illustrate, I attempted to cancel out the effects of the deformation zone which flattens the top/front of the thigh when the thigh bends more than 65. What really needs to happen is some seriously complex JCM/ERC and the hardest part is trying to create a morph that cancels particular sections of the effect of a joint deformer in a controlled and seamless manner. If you can get the morphs done, the JCM/ERC is definitely the easy part (relatively speaking) and can even incorporate staggered/delayed onset.
Verbosity: Profusely promulgating Graham's number epics of complete and utter verbiage by the metric monkey barrel.
