Ok, getting muddled and frustrated here.

I'm trying to pose Vicki 3 (running Poser 5, latest SR) with her arms above her head, but everything I've tried just doesn't look right... it looks like I've cut and pasted her shoulders sideways, etc., or there's a big ridge running from the middle of her arm to her chest... Any suggestions/tutorials for this? I'm stumped on how to make her shoulders look realistic...

Thanks in advance!

Oh, guess that would help! *agh.... see what happens when you post too late?*

The arm/shoulder area is the area that really has me stumped... it kinda looks like a bowl... and those ridges!... Any ideas on how to correct this?

Thanks in advance!

Poser figures do not generally look good in arms above head poses. You should try putting 50% of the bend in the shoulder, and the other 50% in the collar. Apart from that, postwork is probably only other solution.

I was afraid that it would only be really soluable in postwork.... Thanks for the tip... the 50/50 reduced it to manageable proportion!
