Lycan 9 shin bend causes scaling of shin and foot

Pent Up Games

As I bend Lycan 9's shin, I notice the shin and foot change scale. It's especially dramatic with Lycan 9 female (pictured) but affects Lycan 9 (male) as well.

Does anyone know what causes this, and if there's a way I can stop it from happening? Lycan 9 is pretty much unusable if I can't bend its legs without the feet swelling up.

Attached image is a Left View of the Lycan 9 Female figure with the shin fully bent (and the tail bent, just to get it out of the way). No other morphs or anything else applied.

Yes, for me it shrinks and then grows again.

I don't have this figure to test myself, but can you try locking the Scale parameters for those bones? On top of that, try changing the Paremeter Settings for Scale on those bones to Use Limits and set a Min or Max value to your desired value.

I could reproduce the issue on Lycan 9 Female as well but not on Lycan 9 Male. I think the issue comes from the corrective morph with rigged shape on Lycan 9 Male. Then Lycan 9 Female has Proportion Foot which increases the Scale of feet / toes / metatarsals. It makes the rigged corrective morph bigger as well. (screen shot 1).

There's a Lycan 9 Female corrective morph which is meant to further correct the shape.... however, it doesn't work at all. I checked it and fount its file size is just 1K. (screen shot 2) Toggling its value with 0 / 100 changes nothing. 

To me, the best solution is to ask Daz to correct this Lycan 9 Female's corrective morph by filling a ticket. The temporary solution to fix it, you can: select Right Foot / Toes / Metatarsal, reset their Scale value to 100%. (screen shot 3)

Certainly you can create a corrective morph with this shape and save the modifer asset locally... but that'll require more effort ~~
