Crossed Leg Pose Breaks AV??

Has anyone found a way around it when you cross the legs of your AV while sitting, it seems to break the leg right up by the hip. I have checked quite a few shops that have a crossed leg pose and it seems like this happens to everyone. Just curious if there are any answers.

Hiya Rudy. It's just the nature of the base figure. One can spend alot of time twisting and tweaking it and still get undesired results because of that stretch that occurs when you bend the legs forward 45 degrees.
Below the hip sort of flattens out and looks weird - heh. It's an older figure but it's perfectly awesome for bvh. If we ever change from BVH, that could open up some new possibilities. Even Vicky 1 and 2 had the same problem though (unless you applied morph targets and smoothed it out and that's not possible in SL....yet).
I can't imagine how the hell we could use a bi-ped like Vicky/Michael 3 or 4 without introducing serious lag to the grid. Maybe someday

Thanks Zach,

Yeah, it looked like an issue with the avatar itself, but I just wanted to make sure there was nothing I could do to fix it. Should have just IM'd ya directly *grins*.

Appreciate it !!
