I have had this problem it seems forever. All my g8 male figures deform badly when being posed. the abdomen/rib area deforms and warps when bending waist /torso in any pose. What the hell can i do?

    When you pose them in this way I wonder if you can find anything unusual under Parameters / Currently Used, for either the figure as a whole or maybe for individual body parts. I wonder if you installed a product that has bend correction morphs operating when they aren't supposed to be...

    i cannot find anything. I'm not sure when this started but i cannot find a way to make it stop. Its every g8 male figure....

    I'm thinking what I would do here... If you find the Bend parameter on one of the body parts that causes a problem, and then click Parameter Settings (under the gear for the property) and look at the Sub-Components or Controllers tabs, I am thinking first of all that there probably won't be anything related to additional products under "Controllers," But under Sub-Components there could be references to other products. And if you dial up the Bend and then look at the parameters (of the whole figure I guess, not the body part) maybe there would be hidden product-specific things.

    For instance on my G8F if I look at Left Collar "Bend" properties I see Sub-Components related to a handful of characters, like V8, A8, Petunia. If I then bend the Left Collar and dial up V8, and then I look under the Currently Used parameters for the whole figure, I see (grayed out and hard to read) a collar JCM for V8. So my best theory is that you could see something inappropriate dialed up when you pose G8M, without you having dialed up any characters...

    Otherwise hopefully someone else will have an idea :o

    I'm pretty sure this is a known issue with a shaping or character set, a correction morph kicking in when it isn't needed.

    Hi -

     

    I think I identified the problem; it is caused by the ManHippo Character from AM. You have to activate the "Show Hidden Properties" option and then search for "manhippo" - then you will see that there are three corrective morphs (eJCM-ManHippoAM-AbdomenUpperBendPos, eJCM-ManHippoAM-ChestLowerBendPos, eJCM-ManHippoAM-ChestLowerSideNeg) which are wrongly activated in ever G8 male character when bending the abdomen.

    That worked! Thank you guys!! How do you keep it from doing it every time?

    It seems like you would either uninstall the product or else figure out how to make the JCMs conditional on the Hippo morph being dialed. I don't have experience with that though... Would be interesting to know.
