Quote - If you have a fix, can you show me how? I tried and failed. The same thing happens with all the limbs when they're scaled and posed, and it's quite frustrating indeed, since I think that scaling is the key to true variability in a figure. It seems to work in V4 and friends, so I'm assuming something's wrong with Antonia's CR2, but I have no idea what it could be. If I could fix this, that would make me very happy.

Sure.  I almost uploaded a joint insertion pose before, but then I realized that my adjustments completely fail to cooperate with any of the new JCMs for the head bend.  The changes I've made help the neck a great deal, with scaling, and they help the head as well in version 124.  But the new 125 morphs do not work with the process.  I assumed you wouldn't want to sacrifice those changes to accommodate this case, so I didn't follow up.

Even so, I'll try to get a pose together with what I have.

The new JCMs are quite excellent, BTW, until neck scaling is involved.  I'm not trying to impugn the new morphs.  And the twist improvements you made to the neck for 124 do work nicely with scaling.  The problem here is mainly bend and side-side.

Quite possibly any problems with scaling may come down to Antonia's reliance on JCMs to correct the joints.  This may just be an area where the two things are incompatible.  :sad:  Scaling rearranges the mesh just enough that the JCMs no longer make things look better.  Possibly.  A bit like the incompatibility of some body-shaping morphs with the joint-controlled morphs?  :unsure:  I'm thinking about my problems with the "cameltoe" effect, when trying to smooth out the genital crease in a spandex morph.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
