okay, I'm having some serious problems to pose this guy (the bear) If I build a joint setup and bind it there's always some problem with the stomach and shoulder areas, where the wrong joint affect the wrong places, If I try to move the vertices or something like that well, that's out of the question... I'd have to move about 30k vertices... i've tried lattices but they don't give me the right look either, god I hate rigging... is there anyone out there who can help me ?,

found what I needed... set membership tool FTW!!
