Fixing bend of abdomen for G3F

in New Users
When I bend the Pelvis in minus and the lower or/and upper abdomen in plus I get these results:
Is there a way to fix the stomach so it looks more smooth? The same thing happens for G8F btw. too.

Use the bends with the lower and upper abdomen selected judiciously. Here I have the upper set to 25 and the lower set to 20. That doesn't produce a noticeable fold. However, if you are looking for a more extreme bend to your character, use the above settings, then select each of the right and left thighs, and bend those (they are both set to about -40 here) to complete the operation, as shown in the render below. If you still do not like the slight fold, you could always apply a smoothing modifier to the figure and that should pretty much eliminate it. BTW, that is exactly how we bend - there's not that much flexibility in the spine.
Yes if you want an extreme lean over bend like that what you really have to do is bend the legs forward at the hips. Study your own movements for a while.
