Just a quick update, so you won't think I died. :-) I made another version of the rig, but it wasn't any better. Looks like I have to get intimate with those joint parameters, sigh.

Well, the same things are happening in DAZ|Studio too, so you may as well know about them. In some ways, D|S handles JCMs better since they weren't a documented feature of Poser, whereas DAZ were able to write their code specifically to be compatible with the sort of things that were going on in clever people's CR2s.

Quote - Regarding that JCM's .... Dimension3D Morphing clothes is the name of the game.

Thanks for the reminder. I do have Morphing Clothes but haven't used it yet. I made my first JCM morphs using The Tailor, which wasn't very accurate. M/C should do a better job, from everything I've heard about it.
