amy_aimei,

Once I got the JCM working, my first impression of the Bikini bottom is that the JCM works very well, except for one spot on the left buttock where there is pokethrough if the thigh kick goes beyond -23.0°. Even with the kick at -90.0° there was only that one spot of pokethrough on the buttock. Strangely it only seems to be happening on the left side.  With both -90.0° thigh kick, and 25.0° thigh spread there was also a little pokethrough at the back of the crotch, though this disappeared if the kick was reduced to -70.0°. It's asking quite a lot to expect the figure to handle both -90.0° and 25.0° spread, but I think it is well worth fixing the main pokethrough caused by the kick, as it detracts from what is otherwise a very good job. Seen from below in Flat Lined Display Style the problem vertex is quite evident (see image above).

 

lesbentley,

Thank you for testing it in Poser and giving me valuable feedbacks.  I tried the same in DAZ Studio.   This is the result with the lThigh set to kick at -90° and spread at 30°.

There is a pokethrough, but I can't reproduce the one at the buttock.  In fact, the right side JCM's are mirrored from the left side.  That's strange!

I'm working on the updates based on your findings and I think it will be good to find a way to create a JCM that can handle both kick and spread.  Currently, I can make JCM with rotation of one joint axis only.  It works with both kick and spread is by luck and some fine tunings I did by guessing.

The following image is the result with the lThigh set to kick at -60° and spread at 60°, which is when both JCM-lThighKick and JCM-lThighSpread at 100% (1.0).

There is a major pokethrough at the bottom part of the mesh.  There are some vertices do not have a smooth transformation (see the vertices pointed by the arrows).

Is there any way we can make JCM for rotations of 2 joint axes?
