Quote - *I'm not sure I understand, but I think what he is saying is that by linking the thigh bones to an added sphere of geometry in the hip region, and by severing the affectors between the hip substitute and the original hip through a hack of the cr2, you can have extreme thigh movement without smashing the hip part.

Yep!  It isolates the hip.[/quote

Ah, now I get it. Quite clever! I'll have to try it at some point.

But wait: how does that affect the normal function of the hip actor, though? Does the figure still follow hip (or rather, hip replacement) movements? How is the ability of taking poses from 'standard' figures affected? What happens if instead we call the original hip hip and the replacement pelvis?
