Did you even TRY doing a prior search of the forums to see whether in all V3's years of existance this question hasn't been already raised and answered?

I try but don't even know what keywords to use. my keywords don't return any good results. my keywords are "V3 knee bending problem" or "v3 knee" or "v3 fix knees"

Oh come now, be immaginative! Try knee, try bend, and DO try to expand the search beyond the default past 45 days. I always set my searches to 'newer than 100 years'. That way I insure to get ALL the archive files on a subject, and then USE a bit of patience and elbow grease, and start sifting through the files. They date back to 1999, so there must be TONS of usefull information buried in them.

there is a set of morphs in the freebies. by maveris, i think. A. ps: it is ok to answer a question. it is also ok not to answer a question. but to say: 'go, find your answer' is a bit ...

OK bad image. I keep forgetting P7 is set the other way for compression. That will teach me to not export the image in a proper image format. Never use JPG.

While working for a simple fix I found that by using a magnet on the thigh it should work for most purposes. Typically a thigh will flatten or widen when the leg flexes significantly, this magnet tries to create that effect.
After creating a magnet on the right thigh it was edited to have the following settings:
Mag Base 1 0 scale Spline 0.1537 10
Mag Base 1 0 yrot Spline 0.0000 2
Mag Base 1 0 xrot Spline 0.0000 1
Mag Base 1 0 zrot Spline 0.0000 3
Mag Base 1 0 xtran Spline -0.0389 4
Mag Base 1 0 ytran Spline 0.1720 5
Mag Base 1 0 ztran Spline 0.0397 6
Mag 1 0 scale Spline 1.0000 10
Mag 1 0 xScale Spline 1.5920 7
Mag 1 0 yScale Spline 1.0000 8
Mag 1 0 zScale Spline 1.0000 9
Mag 1 0 yrot Spline 0.0000 2
Mag 1 0 xrot Spline 0.0000 1
Mag 1 0 zrot Spline 0.0000 3
Mag 1 0 xtran Spline 0.0000 4
Mag 1 0 ytran Spline 0.0000 5
Mag 1 0 ztran Spline 0.0520 6
Mag Zone 1 0 scale Spline 0.0769 10
Mag Zone 1 0 xScale Spline 0.5720 7
Mag Zone 1 0 yScale Spline 1.0000 8
Mag Zone 1 0 zScale Spline 0.6160 9
Mag Zone 1 0 yrot Spline 0.0000 2
Mag Zone 1 0 xrot Spline 0.0000 1
Mag Zone 1 0 zrot Spline 0.0000 3
Mag Zone 1 0 xtran Spline -0.0389 4
Mag Zone 1 0 ytran Spline 0.2400 5
Mag Zone 1 0 ztran Spline -0.0213 6
The numbers that matter are the ones after spline for each entry. So the magnet base scale is 0.1537 and so on. These values are in Poser native units. If you have Poser setup for inches multiply the translations by 103.09 or switch to Poser native units while you enter the values.
For the other thigh the magnet would have the same values except that the x translations are mirrored.
I wish I could save the magnet but Poser 6 does not save magnets properly.
Anyone is free to improve on this and repost the new settings.
good luck,

V3 shouldn't be THAT bad.
Dont twist the shin in poses like this (it distorts the bend area). Use side-side on the foot instead.
