I am trying to make this figure poseable in such a way that the webbing will remain attached to the chest, but move with the arms. I have edited a .cr2, trying to use the webbing as a separate poseable figure. I thought that I might be able to make it work by parenting the web to the arm, but welding it to the chest. This works in the document display, but Poser crashes when I render. My other thought is to split the web into three parts, and integrate the parts into the shoulder, collar, and chest, hopefully to be able to use the native bend zones to move the webbing appropriately. I suspect this would not handle properly. Would the joint parameters for the shoulder region of the figure have to be adjusted so much that I would lose proper, normal bending in the area? Can anyone suggest a way to make this work?

Anchor it to the shoulder and arm and have it project through the chest. Don't connect it to the chest, just have it running into the chest cavity. This might work, at least in some poses. Have not tried it, however.

The figure's bend zones etc were designed to work within the original human figure. Expecting them to work way way outside their intended range is asking for trouble. In maths, extrapolation is the dragon, don't trust it. I learned that over donkey's years of working with students' experimental data and their overambitious ideas of what can be extracted from that data.

Try attaching it as a prop to the collar and click teh "inherit parent joint parameters" that should work "phil" Hokusai

Aha! Then it would inherit the bend zones attached to the shoulder and chest! Why didn't I think of that? The same should work if it is integrated into the figure and attached to the collar, I guess. Thanks, Phil!
