heyas; it is in the marketplace, anthony. i'm pretty sure that conforming resets the positioning and the scaling, so the base doesn't use zeroed tanslations for the hip/body. if having them zeroed makes any difference or not, i'm not sure. but i've always done it that way. i definitely know that scaling has to be applied to a conformer after it has been conformed; anything changed before conformation is reset. for scaling. kattman, do you know why michael's chest sometimes comes out crooked on conforming stuff for him? and how to fix it? :)
