*Quote: "I tried WW2 to convert the M3 conforming genital figure to M4, but the process tore the mesh of the genital figure (scrotum and shaft). The converted figure did conform to M4's hip zone. I did not experiment to see if I could improve the results with diferent settings, or if adjusting the figures morphs would help. In principle, it should work, but the genital figure is obviously more complex than a simple hip part."

Then I guess sticking with parenting the male genitals is fine... personally I wouldn't mind if things like shoes were rigged as parented posable props as opposed to fully conforming. It would make it easier to use different shoes on different figures. The hip rigging on shoes is a pain for all sorts of reasons... better just to have the toe and foot boned and the shoe parented IMO. Same goes for .cr2 Hair, more often then not I end up parenting it rather than conforming it.

Personally I don't like these posing penises...* often just tossing on Michael 1/2 spawned as a prop is adequate for me. I wish there was just more veriaty of static prop male genitalia instead of these super morphing posables. I don't animate so once I get the genitals posed I often just convert them into a fixed prop.

One thing I really like about Apollo is his integrated genitals. At least the G2 male genitals are made of fewer parts. I saw a thing on youtube by Phantom3D about difficulties scaling the M4 genitals... I mean to try propegatingScale to see if that helps with the smoothing and bending parameters etc.

Poser 5 Judy had nice reasonable female genitals. I notice Arduino and others put the female so far underneath the pelvis as opposed to in a more frontal position. I have never figured out why. I would say less then 1% of the naked women I have ever seen have those hidden vulvas you can't see from a frontal standing pose. Is it some sort of ethnic thing?

P4 Eve too had perfectly presentable genitals but V4 has a super weird groin I feel. Her thighs don't blend into her crotch. It is like she is wearing a bikini or her legs are just stuck on or something... no flow from legs to crotch. I find it very distracting. Far more so than the V2 or V3 groin modeling.*
