While working for a simple fix I found that by using a magnet on the thigh it should work for most purposes. Typically a thigh will flatten or widen when the leg flexes significantly, this magnet tries to create that effect.
After creating a magnet on the right thigh it was edited to have the following settings:
Mag Base 1 0 scale Spline 0.1537 10
Mag Base 1 0 yrot Spline 0.0000 2
Mag Base 1 0 xrot Spline 0.0000 1
Mag Base 1 0 zrot Spline 0.0000 3
Mag Base 1 0 xtran Spline -0.0389 4
Mag Base 1 0 ytran Spline 0.1720 5
Mag Base 1 0 ztran Spline 0.0397 6
Mag 1 0 scale Spline 1.0000 10
Mag 1 0 xScale Spline 1.5920 7
Mag 1 0 yScale Spline 1.0000 8
Mag 1 0 zScale Spline 1.0000 9
Mag 1 0 yrot Spline 0.0000 2
Mag 1 0 xrot Spline 0.0000 1
Mag 1 0 zrot Spline 0.0000 3
Mag 1 0 xtran Spline 0.0000 4
Mag 1 0 ytran Spline 0.0000 5
Mag 1 0 ztran Spline 0.0520 6
Mag Zone 1 0 scale Spline 0.0769 10
Mag Zone 1 0 xScale Spline 0.5720 7
Mag Zone 1 0 yScale Spline 1.0000 8
Mag Zone 1 0 zScale Spline 0.6160 9
Mag Zone 1 0 yrot Spline 0.0000 2
Mag Zone 1 0 xrot Spline 0.0000 1
Mag Zone 1 0 zrot Spline 0.0000 3
Mag Zone 1 0 xtran Spline -0.0389 4
Mag Zone 1 0 ytran Spline 0.2400 5
Mag Zone 1 0 ztran Spline -0.0213 6
The numbers that matter are the ones after spline for each entry. So the magnet base scale is 0.1537 and so on. These values are in Poser native units. If you have Poser setup for inches multiply the translations by 103.09 or switch to Poser native units while you enter the values.
For the other thigh the magnet would have the same values except that the x translations are mirrored.
I wish I could save the magnet but Poser 6 does not save magnets properly.
Anyone is free to improve on this and repost the new settings.
good luck,
