@Spanki: You are quite right, the red stops should in most cases be set inside the parent. However in some bends, most notably the thigh, I have purposely taken the red stop line far past into the grandparent thereby taking it out of play and instead use the outer falloff zone as the stop. This is to avoid the infamous flatening of the top of the thigh, and works quite well. But I have wondered if this type of thing may or may not cause problems with clothing? But so far rjjack has not mentioned any problems with it so I'm guessing it didn't.
Bulges: yes I should use them more.
@BluEcho: Fantastic! Just gorgeous. I also had a question for you, did any of the JCM's or bends I used in the rigging cause any particularly bad problems with stretching or strange distortion in the texture when it's posed? Would you say it's better or worse or about the same as most other figures in that respect?
