Quote - Is the answer to genital deformation on leg bends to make the genitals a separate body part despite being continuous mesh to the hip? This is done with the lower jaw I believe sometimes and allows the bending to be managed separately from say the head/neck or in this case hip/thighs. Please excuse me if I don't know what the heck I am talking about.

Yes, something like that might work. In fact, she already has a body handle to move her genital region around. I could either use that or fine-tune the influence spheres for the thighs to include just enough of the area between her legs.

The thing, though, is that whenever I try shortcuts like that, I usually end up making a mess and going back to my usual method of pushing vertices around. It's more tedious, but I have full control. It just tends to work better for me, personally.

Also, I think the larger part of my problem is understanding how her vulva should deform. If I know what I need to do, I can do it. So I'll probably try to find some good references. There are worse things in the world than looking for those. 😉

Another thing that occurred to me is that I should probably make a morph that smooths out her vulva and shape the JCMs with that in effect. Part of my problem is that half of the vertices I probably should move around are deep inside folds and hard to control. I know, no one likes neutralized Poser characters, but you guys wouldn't have to see her like that, and I think I am strong enough of character to handle it.
