Quote - Moriador, I remember that thread... as I think Phantom3d pointed out in the thread at the time, there are alway going to be some limitations when weight mapping a mesh that was never designed with weight mapping in mind.

Yes. That's what I just said, [ETA: what I was just trying to say, I mean -- sorry I wasn't clear] essentially.

Quote - I think this fact really exemplifies just what a great job was done in overcoming this and applying the weight mapping to V4, especially given the distribution method limitations too... But personally, I don't see that it is invalid to use additional morphs (whether personally sculpted or from a product, if such works okay with the weight mapping - e.g. as Hornet3d points out some of the Perfect series do) to tweak the figure shape, in addition to the weight mapping enhancements?

Hey, if someone were to make such a thing to deal with this specific issue, I'd use it. But AFAIK they haven't, and given my skill set, I find it easier to fix up old V4 (and not have to convert clothes) than to deal with this issue.  Other people's experience and preferences will obviously vary.

BB, the image is lovely, and you can see how absolutely beautifully the shoulders bend.
