Hi Anybody who is familiar with my work might know that I produce characters that are shorter than the standard Vicky. I purchased V3 and it was like wow. But, I have come against a slight problem.

The image is V3 on left (white) V2 on right (pink) Her right legs are scaled to 96% V2 no problem V3 has a step on the back of the leg which I cant get rid off, and thats at 96% go below 96 as her left leg, the step gets worse and the top of the ankle gets a step as well which gets really bad the lower you go. V2 can go below 94% with very little problems. These figures have no other morphs applied to them just scale.

Can someone else who has V3 give this a try, just to check if its me going mad or not? If I cant alter the length of the legs at all then the chances of doing shorter characters is going to be restricted.

I typically elongate the lower legs and that step turns into a notch that gets worse as the leg is bent. ???

Got the same results when scaling V3's waist (for a male character - where the hip bones aren't as elongated), but worked fine for the chest. I'd take this up with Daz3d and see if they have an explanation or workaround.

Instead of scaling, try using the stretch legs dial, on the body selection, in negative parameters.

How will that work on the waist? ;)

Re: the waist: For best results using Poser alone; use magnets. Scaling with parameter dials leads to sketchy results. If you do it with magnets, you can include the adjoining parts in the effects area and you will get a smooth transition.

I could be wrong, but I think some of the joint scaling isn't correctly setup.

Stretch Legs also has a problem. This is what I reported to DAZ: There is a problem with the StretchLegs Morph that starts appearing when it is set >.2. These pictures illustrate the problem when StrechLegs = .2, = .5 and Shin Bend = 27deg.

Stretch Legs = .5

The arms seem to be caught by a similar problem either scaling or stretching affects the wrist area and seems to push it sideways. The weird thing is I just tried it and the upper arm seemed to affect the wrist more. Im not too sure what the problem is though. Poserpig

hi! just discovered that the z-scale on the forearms are 114%... and i didn't do that! once adjusted to 100%, the collars fit to the shoulders. this has been vexing me for a bit now. i'm attaching an image to illustrate the problem i was having.... cheers!
