Can someone show me an image of Vicky 1 or 2 from the side in a sitting position like the picture with the hip corrected to look normal? Ive heard that the hip problem (circled) has been fixed with the vicky series. If someone has done this with V or another can you show me the picture and tell me how you did it. I have avoided poses like the one shown because they look like a large uncomfortable object has been inserted were it shouldnt. The budget says to get vicky (maybe) this month or next and some extras for her as well.

Actually, in that picture, it would be the neck I'd try to fix! Real women often have hips and butts a bit larger than those of runway models, but Rossetti was perhaps the last artist to draw attractive women with footballjock necks... and that one in your image tapers the wrong way (at least from this angle). Is your model a wingless faerie? Carolly

That is interesting... what exactly does that mean, it tapers the wrong way??? I never did figure out what the taper is good for.

"Tapers the wrong way" means it widens at the top instead of thinning out. Taper is useful for making baggy clothing articles, giving a slight musclular look, or just messing with your figures overall to make them look different.

Here you go. This is Vicky 1 but vicky 2 looks the same in this pose. However Vicky 2 is definitely worth the extra $20 because of the multiple face and body morphs she contains.

Here is a sideview of Supermodel Vickie (the blonde) and Vickie II, the later as she comes out of the can

Here is the same pair from the rear, you can see the strange bulges on Vickie II, which is what the JCM version of SMV (which this is) was done to minimize. I think Vickie II is better than Vickie I, maybe, I'm unsure though. Incidently, the bulges are caused by too much of a setting of "apply bulges" in the bend joint parameter, you can ramp the setting up for the Posette, this would make your original side view better, but it would look bad from the rear, it is sort of a trade off. The answer for now is JCM, I guess.

I don't get quite as much of that crease in the butt with my vickie 2--Jim, are you putting the bend all on the thigh or are you bending the buttock as well? Of course mine doesn't have her legs crossed, might make a difference. If I have her sit with her knees pulled up to her chest her butt gets strange looking.

All in the thigh, I should have put about 15 degrees of it in the buttock, really, but this does show the differences better ;-) This is about 90 or 95 degrees roration, the joint really get weird near max, as you said.

Jim Burton seems to have the right idear, just have to fix the thighs. I think V2 is the goer although I will try this advice on P4. It is a wingless faerie.
