Hi,

I'm hoping to get some advice. I have a figure with ghost bones in it that is crumpling the mesh influenced by the bones once I turn on "Use Limits" in Poser. I've tried adjusting the forceLimits parameter in the rotation channels, but that does nothing to help.

I'd be grateful for any tips, or perhaps a pointer a relatively recent Renderosity store product that has ghost bones in it so I could look over its cr2 for pointers to correct the code in my own figure.

Thanks in advance. 

What figure and what version of Poser are you using?

Without more information and perhaps a screenshot, it's very hard to determine what the problem and the solution is.

1. Figure is my own product that is a mod of the M4 Gens so a screen shot is probably not possible here unless I do a closeup.

2. I've checked it in Poser 8 and Poser Pro 2012. Same problem occurs.

Try setting the the min and max limits to a large enough value so that it does not matter whether limits are on or off, eg:

                forceLimits 0
                min -100000
                max 100000

Alright. I went to the xrot,yrot and zrot channels and made the min and max limits and forceLimits values as you wrote them above. It still happened.

Do you think I didn't go far enough? Should I change all channel values (scaling, trans, etc.) to what you suggest? 

...

And the solution, for anyone in the future searching for the answer to this question:

 The problem was in the scale, rotation and translate channels. All of them needed to be reset as follows:

Scale channels:

forceLimits 0

min 0.1

max 100000

Rotation  and Translation channels:

forceLimits 0

min -100000

max 100000

The crumpling mesh has now gone away.
