Has anyone tried making instead of a third leg an extra two parts, one between each hip and thigh that might act as a buffer? Or is there a way to make a skirt a hybrid of a poseable prop and conforming figure? That is make all the skirt parts bend manually with nothing automatic? Is that even possible? The third thing is to maybe cut the hip section so it was very small and most of the area that would normally be asigned to the hip would be the abdomen instead. Then the part with the amplified bending would be too small to have such a drastic effect?
