I've tried it with and without inherit bends. Does the same thing. I've even tried adding a ball as a primative, parenting that to the hand and parenting the prop to the ball. Same issue just slightly different effect.

And the pant leg at the bottom mark, is actually the bow string deforming when I tried bending the wrist, lol

I'm just not having much luck with poser 8. I have 4 different projects that I started that came to an immediate standstill, all for different issues. oh well. That's what post work is for right?

I'm gonna try to get this one done before the holiday is over  lol

thanks,
