I am having issues with V4 and some poses. The pose shown is a purchased pose that was supposed to work just fine with V4. However, this and several other like it are having problems as you can see in the pictures. It seems like this just started happening with V4.2. I DO NOT have issues with some V4 poses, only kneeling, bent over, etc. that seem to deform her for some reason. This is not an issue with V4 files as others work OK as I said, only some of them like poses I have purchased that are such as the pictures shown have issues.

Is it common for V4.2 to do this with kneeling, bending for some poses? If so, how do you avoid it since some of the poses were done by the "experts"? You can actually see distorted bends in the figure if you rotate the camera. Here you can see it even like it is and it's even worse if you look at V4 abdomen and thigh areas.

Thanks for any thoughts on this problem.

It's not uncommon. No Poser model perfectly emulates the human figure and extreme bends tend to show the limitations of the models.

Some people play with joint parameters to control the degree that the mesh deforms in some positions. I prefer fixing it in postwork in Photoshop.

Theres something wrong at the front of the model visible on her body near the thigh .  Are you sure v4.2 installed properly and did you do the initialize step ?

I have that pose (and used it in my gallery somewhere) and I didn't get that problem

Neo, you are talking about the problem with the weird polygons her leg/crotch area right?  Can you try a quick render of it just to see if that problem persists?

Or are you talking about the bump on her butt?

I am referring to both actually. Yes, I tried a quick render and the problems appear in it too. You can see the bump deform near the butt as shown in the picture as well. If you rotate the camera, it does show a better view of the weird polygons around her leg/crotch areas with this pose.

For those wondering, yes, I have initialized the V4 figure but will try it again just to be sure. I still am not totally clear on when you need to do this for the new V4 and M4 figures. Even after reading the Daz site and readme files it really did not say a lot about this so any help appreciated. I did do it though just about a week ago.

This is something that has to be duplicated and it can't just be me. Like I said in the first post, other poses that are NOT so extreme like kneeling, bent over, etc. don't show it. Like someone said, it may just be the limitation of the V4 figure itself. However, another poster said they had the exact same pose (it is by "DM" called "Feeling Sexy") with no issues. So, this has to be something that can be duplicated on another machine, it's just a question as to what is going on that may be causing it.

With some more help, I think we can pin it down or at least determine the final outcome of rather it is a limitation of the V4 model itself. If it was every pose then obviously it would point to something wrong with my V4 files but it's not.

Thanks again for everyones help and input on this.

I think you should redownload and reinstall her. Let it overwrite.
