usign skinMorph with shoulder(3dsmax)??ball joint morphing??solve problems??

i never found a solution for this in 3dsmax,
i know that using a skinmorph with ball joint like shoulder can be problematic,
but finally i saw a tutorial in maya how to solve this problem,
he uses a plane with UV(XY) axis then he maps morph targets to X & Y axis>
so when shoulder bone rotates Down the V value chanes and the morphTarget works...
i thought i can use this technique in 3dsmax using ReactionManager and Morpher,
but the problem is that when i will model my shoulder morphs it needs to be in rest position ,and it will be hard to model the morphs,i heard that that there are scripts for maya,
but i didnt find anything for max,

any Help please,
thnx:)

you need to use skinmorph for that, it's designed for that matter even if it's a bit tricky to make it work ( at least me i found it tricky.. ) you could also have a look to morphx2, an additive morpher that seems to work great for these things ( haven't tried that much tho...)

SkinMorph is not good for correcting ball joints
but thnx for morphx2 this is wat i needed
