Quote - Excellent idea! No need to send the modified cr2, though. At the moment I am working mostly in DAZ Studio and export the cr2 from there. That means I need a little script that rewrites that cr2 and inserts stuff that I can't set from within D|S. So when I write that script, I'll just have it insert your line into every actor, as well.

OK, but in that case I should fill out one detail I neglected to mention. The BODY actor is a special case, you need valueParm not targetGeom channels in the BODY, so you will need a different readScript line calling a different pz2 for the BODY. A simple "Search & Replace", then rename the file, will convert the "Antonia_PBMCC_Chnnls.pz2" into a "Antonia_PBMCC_FBM_Chnnls.pz2". P.S. Don't know if I mentioned this in my IM. Best to use "_Chnnls" as the last part of the name, it seems that this keeps the file compliant with the DAZ updater, it seems that it will only work with certain endings. the ones I know of are "_Chnnls" and "_Grps" (for groups).

Quote - Good point! But a presume you mean when her arms are down? That's the JCMs taking too much volume away, actually. It's pretty high on my list of things to fix when I get to work on the shoulder bends.

Yes, when the arms are down. Good to know you are planning a fix.

Quote - I wonder if it would make sense to change the rotation orders of the collar actors so that they match the chest. It would be a bit weird to use the twist channel for backward and forward, but it might just be crazy enough to work.

I don't know if that will fix the problem, it's only a hunch that it is implicated, but I certainly think that it is worth a try. As to it being "weird to use the twist channel for backward and forward" the dial name can be anything you like (though you might have to tweak some JCM code to match). Any of the rotate channels could have the dial name "Twist", and the order of the dials can be set in the 'groups' so no need for the end user to be confused.
