Quote - odf, a thought about the neck....
At present Antonia only has a bend, twist, tilt morph for the upper part of her neck.

I've found that when I'm doing a pose that involves tilting, twisting and bending the head and neck it still has an odd look.

It would be a help if the lower section of her neck had the same parameter setting or morphs that the upper neck has.
That would eliminate the odd look on twisting the neck or head .

Thanks for the suggestion! I realize the neck does not bend as well as it should, and I'd definitely like to do something about that.

The lower neck is actually part of the chest actor. I could add a second neck actor, but my feeling is that that would only complicate the figure unnecessarily, lead to all kinds of new problems, and not really help much. The odd look, I think, is mostly due to the fact that twists in Poser do not work as they do in reality. None of our limbs twist (or bend for that matter) like a hose, but that's want Poser tries to do. I was considering adding a JCM for the neck twist.

One must also keep in mind that the neck cannot twist very far in reality, and that, say, an over-the-shoulder look is really a complicated movement that involves the whole upper body.
