Function : Attached to each bulge weight map are settings which control the extent of their deformation contribution. Under each bulge map entry are Pos (positive) and Neg (negative) sliders which control the strength of the bulge effect when the joint is rotated to positive and negative values. The strength of the effect of these sliders is attenuated by the weight maps they belong to.
