I could use some help and guidelines to poseing V3 sitting on a chair or just sitting on different furnature. First, I should state I'm using the current version of Poser 5 for Windows, current version of V3, head and body packs. I tried these with IK Off and On and Limit Movements Off and On. Ok, now here's the problem. I've tried just about everything I know to get V3 sitting correctly on a chair. The first pose I wanted to recreate is one of a girl sitting with her legs about 60 degree spread and bent at the knees and feet flat on the floor. No matter what I try I can get the knees OK with the exception of a distorted buldge that appears on the right/left buttock areas of the front legs of the figure. The next is one of a girl playing softball, in a catcher's squating position. Same thing there. I went through my usual check list, checked twisting, bends, etc. and all seem fine. It just seems to increase the size of the right/left buttocks no matter what. This makes it unrealistic because a sitting human, no matter what degree the legs are spread or bent should NOT distort the right/left front buttocks area. Any thoughts on what's going on or how to make a SMOOTH sitting position from V3. The legs should be smooth and they are except for this one area. When rendered it even looks un-natural. I've taken a look at some posing tutorials, but can't find any detailed ones on a sitting figure. If you can point me to a good tutorial, have some knowledge on sitting poses or how to fix it would be appreciated. Also, maybe someone could post the numbers of a sitting V3 you did for pointers since all I need are mainly the legs and hip. Thanks.
