shante: A rigging question :biggrin: Yes alot can be done with adjusting the rigging in other models. Here's a pic of an unfinished rerig job I did on V4:

Although this isn't the leg spread bend you mention. While much can be done with a rerig you end up with a figure that does not match any of the conforming clothing etc. that has been created for it.
And you would have a very hard time, if not impossible in getting bends as nice as Antonia's in some of the models because of the way the geometry is put together. The way the geometry is built has alot to do with how the model deforms when it bends, or how good you can get your JCM's to perform as well. Antonia's geometry was made for some great bend deformations.
One more thing to mention is that Antonia was modeled with her legs farther apart than say V3 or V4 and that very much effects how well you are going to get the legs to do the splits, or bend on the X rot.
