Doing the splits... Clothing advice (JCM) needed

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Hi,

Messing around with building clothing again.... never had much luck with my old brain retaining info but I try when the feeling strikes.  

So built a simple gym short.  Now what if my guy is a total athlete and liked doing gymnastics?  He would be doing side splits.  Well I found a video on how to create JCM's for one limb at a time but what if I wanted both legs full extended to the sides into a split?  How would one hook up a JCM or an MCM to kick in when both legs are out like that at the same time?  

Thanks so much

Video if possible but I can manage with text too!

    You create a third JCM to make the left correction and right correction work together, then either use the Attenuate by option in ERC Freeze or manually set the Property Hierarchy to have one of the single-side JCMs a standard ERC Add and the other ERC Multiply - that way the correction to the corrections will be zero unless both single-leg corrections are in use.

    Hmmm, not quite understanding that.  In the shorts, I already have corrective JCM's for the Side L and Side R so they kick in when either leg is activated in that side up rotation but when both are combined bad things happen!  LOL  SO then I made a third to correct for that but I don't know if it's possible within the code to tell that third to only kick in when both legs are out at the same time?? See below...

    Your third morph should be a correction to the first two, left and right, rather than a complete morph in itself. Then you add - say - the left JCM as a controller for the both moprh under 1st stage (add subtract) and the other - right - under Second stage (multiply divide).

    I did bring the third fix morph in using the reverse deformations but your saying I have to get into the properties panel.  I've never had much luck using that.  I always get too mixed up with all the options while drilling down!  LOL

    I think I have a video around here for using that panel but I have so many I'm not sure where it is!  LOL
