Just got an idea, don't know if it's feasible or not. One of the major reasons to have a higher polygon density at the joints is those bending problems. That's where JPs and JCMs come in. Since materials in P5/P6 are animatable, and an animated material produces a value parameter dial on the figure, would it be possible to do Joint Controlled Materials? In that case, Joint Controlled Morphs could be replaced/augmented by Joint Controlled displacement - and some other things too, since skin stretched taut over bones (bent elbows, knuckles) looks different from looser skin due to the displacement of blood.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
