Hi, I`m atempting to make a figure using the set up room. I`ve attached the bones and grouped the polygons, most of the figure works well but I`m getting a strange result with the shoulders. The twist and front-back dials work fine but when I use the bend dial, some of the polygons get stretched resulting in a lump, (see image). I think a few of the ploys are remaining in the origional possition and not moving with the shoulder. Does anyone know what is causing this? The group has been welded and seems to have the right polys in it, I can`t see any non grouped polys (or no-bone, or multi- grouped polys)in the set up room and the break between the groups is where it should be.

Any ideas welcome. I haven`t altered the joint editor settings, could this be the problem? I used the bone structure from an existing figure.

Looks like a joint editor problem to me. Make the sherical falloff zones for the bend a wee bit bigger and that should fix it...

Thanks for the tip, that fixed the problem, the shoulder is working great now! This is a great forum for sorting problems such as this. Thanks to all who take the time to answer the questions we ask.

glad it fixed it....I had that exact same problem about a month ago.
