@odf,

Quote - I think if the WW version becomes official, then hip translations and rotations should be limited to zero right in the CR2. Honestly, I'm not even sure why that's not the case already.

I definitely would recommend forcing the limits to zero for the hip translations in the cr2, that does no harm, and in no way limits functionality. And I recommend that you do not force hip rotations to zero in the cr2. If you force the hip (former hip2) rotations, then that actor becomes static and un-posable, it might as well not exist. In fact, in that case it would be better if it was merged with the waist to all be one normal hip actor. If some folks desire to force the hip rotations, so that poses not designed for Antonia can be applied, then I think it best that this be done with a pose file, and with another pose available to undo it, not as a baked in "feature" of the cr2.

I made the HipStretchFix pose before I had even installed the WW version. In my haste to provide a fix for WandW, I had not thought it through properly. In hind sight it was probably a waist of time making the pose, because it only addresses translations, and not rotations. If you want to prevent both translations and rotations, then it is much easier to just lock the hip (Object menu > Lock Actor), rather than hunting for a pose file.

I'm starting to look with a jaundiced eye on this whole WW compatibility issue. Personally I think compatibility with WW would be nice, but It's not really important to me. However I know that it is very important to a lot of people. I don't want to start an argument, or stand in the way of those who do want it. Just expressing my personal view.
