I know that's a known problem, but I'm always having problems with it and I would like to find a lasting solution. What would you use to eliminate those ugly gaps that arise during extreme bends? Morphing Tool, Magnets, Joint Editor? By the way, do I have to use "Merge All Zones To Weight Maps" before using the Joint Editor? I think I have seen this in a video by Nerd3D, but unfortunately all videos by Nerd3D have been deleted. Thanks for your help!

The closeup is good but could we see a full shot or something lets me know just area of V4 this represents? I use Gen 3 and Gen 4 in my renders so I'm interested in this topic as well.

Is this the weight-map version?

Is this the weight-map version?

And if it is, why not use Sasha-16 instead?

It´s the area between her right thig and hip. This is not the weight mapped version. Thanks for reminding me to Sasha-16, I´ll try the pose with her.

The joint editor works both with old-school zones and with weightmaps. In the joint ediutor you can combine zones for the particulkar deformation mode of a joint to a weight map. 'Merge all joints to weight maps' is a time saver big bang bazooka that does same for all joints and that may be more than you want.

@ FVerbaas Thanks for that explanation! I normally just want to edit the zones, that come with V4, so obviously I don´t have to merge all zones to weight maps for that.

Unfortunately it makes no difference, if I use the original V4 or Sasha-16 (2019 Edition). The bended thig looks exactly the same. I think this problem is caused by voluptuous bodies in combination with a little bit more of bending. Here are the bending settings of the right thig and the full body morphs. TorsoThickness is 1, HipSize 1.5 and FantasiaBody 0.5. If I set them all to 0 everything looks fine. I think I have to learn how to make my own morphs to fix this. There seems to be no other way.

Quiet simple to fix these issues! Load the morphing tool and create a Custom morph selecting the full body of V4, use the third brush and the smooth tool ... Paint until you get the desired result , this will fix your issue in no time.

Looks great, thanks for the hint! I will try that and post the result.

Look at this! It took me just 10 Minutes to fix it with the Morphing Tool :) First I smoothed out the transisions with the Smooth Action. Then I used a little bit of the Pull Action and smoothed it with the Smooth Action again. I´m really happy! Of course I knew the Morphing Tool before and used it a lot. But in this case I thought too complicated and focused just on techniques like weight mapping and joint edition. Thank you very much gate!!!
