I'm sure that everyone know what I'm talking about when I say that the V4 looks wicked awful when she bends over, as I have never really taken advantage of using the Morph tool to fix the problem, I have tried it with very little result to getting my ladies to look good when their thigh, arm, and buttocks are bent. Some good example of how I want them to look is here. https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/tease---60-poses-for-v4/91567

I recommend checking some of the images in Hameleon's advertisements for the poses, he told me that he fixed some of the problems with the Morph tool using just the smooth feature only. I've never been able to get many results doing that. There are a lot of bending morphs out there I could buy as a "fix" for this problem, I have bought and tried a few of these out and one of them that comes to mind is Xameva, I bought one for the arm and one for the buttocks. The results? Unsatisfying. Some of these "fixes" sometimes increase the size of V4's butt, but making her butt bigger doesn't fix how terrible it looks when she's bent over. I'm not trying to make her booty bigger, I just want her to look sexy when she's bending over..And then there are other issues I've encountered with some of the Morph fixes, sometimes they may give off very unpleasant results in areas like crinkle up the textures. I tried an arm bending fix for the shoulders and the shoulder just sunk in.

And it's kind of complicated to fix the way V4 bends certain parts of her body because there are just too many errors that are easily noticeable. I do make use of the morph tool for handling pokethroughs, I remember way back I use to just try to use the dials but all that did was make clothing too big. Came to realize that Magnets is the key to handling certain poke throughs. And it's not just her butt, it's the hands, and feet as well that suffer from poor quality. Some people might agree that fixes are a waste of money, but when I first saw them I wanted to at least take the risk and see if they would be of any use. Seeing how I work on huge projects that require a lot of writing, Fixes could save time if they truly worked.

You'd think that with all these new models that Daz put out for Genesis they would just have V4 automatically fixed properly. I mean their up to like what now.....Michael 20? Next it'll be Victoria 100 and she'll still have poor flexibility. I haven't switched to Genesis yet, but thought about it because their figures have more of a realistic look to them in terms of morphs, not only that they've got a lot of cool monster models I want to and need for all those huge projects I've been working on lately.

Sadly I'm no Photoshop master, some people use that to correct problems by painting over the issues, etc. And if lucky enough, Zbrush also does the trick too..Unfortunately, I don't have Zbrush.
