pose shifts navel to just under ribcage? SOLVED!

i'm totally baffled.  my character's navel is right where it ought to be until i apply one pose in particular.  and then her navel migrates way, way up her torso to a handswidth below her solar plexus.

the pose isn't extreme at all.  it's a basic hunkered-down pose, with the back almost perfectly straight.

i assume that this is due to some JCM or some other hidden parameter acting up, but none of the active hidden navel parameters affect it. 

any ideas?  it's really not a good look for her.  :)

thanks!

    It could be a part of the pose. Some poses got some funny business going on, I deleted one pose that moved the nipples om g8m way down for some reason lol.

    thanks, TheKD...

    i tried applying the pose to g8f base, and zing!  up went the navel.

    i'll report the issue and hope for the best.

    Yeah there are some poses out there that do strange stuff. I got one from another site that scales my g8f to 95% no matter what it was to begin with which causes everything in the scene to suddenly be wrong with an established characters height.

    Even more annoying when poses that came with a character turn whatever fgure you are using *into* that character. That's just plain unhelpful.

  • So, to me it doesn't look like the navel is moving up so much as the upper part of the body is scrunching down some. If you turn on Wire-Texture shaded you can see if there's any stretching between the belly button and the crotch which would indicate the navel moving. But I think you'll find it's just the way the pose looks and not actual moving going on. If you slump your shoulder forward and your upper chest down like that, you'll look like your navel is higher than it is. I don't know what pose it is, but I'd recommend checking that.

    For me the navel looks right but the amount of hunch in her upper back and droop in her breasts, which would be completely relaxed, does not look right to be curled and scrunched down so close to the navel.

    I have gotten into the habit of holding the Ctrl (Cmd on Macs?) button when applying a pose since so many of them are for a character and may set the character shape as well as setting the pose.

    the PAs (who totally rock) sorted it out really quickly.  it was a wonky pose.

    the navel migration was the result of a negative bend value on the lower abdomen.  zeroing the lower abdomen bend value and adjusting the upper abdomen bend value to compensate shifted the navel back down the torso. 

    thanks to everyone for helping!
