Legacy UVs for G3F break bends?

Do the Legacy UVs for G3F break bending? I like the idea of being able to use older skins for G3F, but I saw some screenshots of really messed up bends where the add-on parts go (top of thighs, etc.). Was wondering if this is really the product, or user error. If the latter, I'd like to see some screenshots of how G3F looks bending with the product in use.

    I don't have the product for G3F, but I have Legacy UVs for Genesis 3: Michael 4. I haven't seen any bending problem yet. I'll attach two renders. One shows how well the product works to fit the textures and the other shows where the geografts are, so you can see where to check the bends. If you see a bending problem here, please point it out to me so I can investigate it further.

    I've seen some comparatively minor bending issues. The middle of the shoulder geograft doesn't bend up as well, but you have to push it a bit to get there, (In this Daz gallery image, you can clearly see the middle of the geograft wrinkle slightly ... but ONLY slightly. The actual graft connections to the body don't really show at all.) I thought for a bit that it might have bending issues at the thigh geograft, but it's in the wrong place, so the hip and the buttock just happens to be a place where Genesis 3 doesn't handle extreme bends well.

    Using HD muscularity and vein morphs with a LegacyUV character can be ... challenging, let's say, because the shoulder and leg geograft isn't and really can't be designed to pick up that information and display it, if you see what I mean. Veins or muscularity morphs that are meant to be continuous from the arm through to the torso have a sudden blank spot.

    I have been moderately curious as to why the geograft is only base resolution, but I don't know that having it capable of going to high resolution and SubD would make it look more continuous on an HD character.

    I do have a VERY NSFW image at deviantArt of G3F Monique 6 in an extreme pose (nothing naughty, just a dance pose, but nude). If I recall TOS, I can link to it because you have to log in to dA to see it. Just to be on the safe side, try this dA gallery search link. If it works properly and you have a dA account, the image should be the fifth one on the page. If you don't have a dA account, it'll just be a blank image, more or less.
