yep Ron I recall I was involved in that conversation. Furyofaseraph yeah I understood what you were trying to get across, its just not currently possible in poser afaik. see Poser figures can only have blending with their parent joints if there is another joint connected to the parent the two child joints ignore each other. what you are wanting to do will not allow the web between say the fingertip and the thumb tip to join up and bend with each other. welding is only part of it, the falloff zones would totally ignore each other because neither joint is the parent of the other. and joint falloff zones only effect a single parent and child chain.
