Quote - Aanascent: would it help if certain JCMs could be turned off selectively? I was considering that, but am not sure it would really be that useful, because often an important part of the JCM action is to remove unsightly bulges.

I made Stephanie Max so you could inject JCM in just the areas you wanted.  But, it wasn't optimal.  By not forcing clothing makers to deal with the JCM, it didn't progress Poser human figure development much.  IMO, better to find the right balance between perfect bending and clothing makers not supporting Antonia due to complexity.  This seems to be the direction you have gone.  I was just posting to back you up.

FWIW, V4 is not all that easy to clothe.  She was supposed to be easier than V3, but I don't think that's the case.

At the very least, give Antonia good base JCM (which she seems to have now).  Then if you want, create additional JCM for when she is unclothed, make it injectible by region for topless, bottomless, sleeveless, etc....  Leaving the additional JCM as an injection add-on allows you to get a final build ready, without slamming the door on improvements to bending.  Like I was saying, she looks pretty darn good now.  Human figure JCM can become an addictive quest for perfection.  If you aren't careful, you'll someday find yourself still working on it while DAZ releases a new Victoria that includes Antonia's better features (like the hip configuration, IMO).  Then you'll be playing follow the leader.
