I have posed M3 in a crouching position and when I try to conform his pants there is some strange flap going straight up. Does anyone know if there is a problem with these pants?

I've had no issues with this outfit but I have had similar things happen with other stuff. I've clothed a figure and then posed it and the outfit does something weird. I do a conform again and it goes back how it should. Try conforming the pants again after you've posed him and see if that works.

I did try conforming after the pose. They work fine with other poses. Maybe the pose was too extreme? I used a David Pose which was fine with minor adjustment for M3 and the shirt, but the pants didn't like it at all.

BTW, is there any Desert backgrounds for the Daz environments or Berkas and traditional middle eastern wear around?

There are some good middle eastern type clothing at Poserpros and DAZ has a free Hajib for V3. As far as desert backgrounds for cyclorama, the nearest I've seen is Serengeti at DAZ but I don't think that's what you want.

Poserworld has ALL of those items up free for members- Arab tribesman clothes, desert Beduin (sp?) tent (a nice one), Desert Cyclorama for the DAZ cyclorama. Just about Everything you need for "Lawrence of Arabia"...

Once in a while you'll hit a conflict in the computing and an odd extreme bulge or distortion will appear. Something about the factors of the number being identical (it's beyond my math skills). The fix for this is to adjust the joint parameter one or two degrees at a time until the bulge disappears. Sometimes it takes as little as a fraction of a degree.

Thanks guys. I check out Poserworld again and try working with the JPs
