Yes but .....are the normals normal?

The normals are normal, pointing outward and sweet to the taste

I believe ;-) I mentioned it because daz preview shows as black but they render fine. G1 version on the right

 thanks, i try to keep my preview mode to "per pixel shading" to detect that problem, i guess i missed it in the final version

it's a big problem when it's in poser because objects then are previewed ( and rendered?) transparent

awh indeed they are reversed, i'll see how i can fix it

first try, zero-pose, export as obj , reverse the normals, swap the shoe geometry

i ended modifying using a little script i wrote to invert the normals

 

in case you're interested here's the script

you'd have to change the path and filenames tho

so, export as  ,obj ...  invert normals using the script ...  then edit/object/geometry/update geometry

i will post the updated shoes on my site ... if all goes well

then i'll post a new test render to announce it here ! maybe ( just maybe ) with the platform/heel adjustment morphs

path = "i:/z/"fin = new DzFile( path + "fixtheg1shoes.obj" );fout = new DzFile( path + "fixedtheg1shoes.obj" );fin.open( fin.ReadOnly )fout.open( fout.WriteOnly )cpt = 0;while( !fin.eof() ){	str = fin.readLine();	if( str.indexOf( "f " ) == 0 )	{		flds = str.split( " " );		n = flds.length;		flds[n-1] = flds[n-1].replace( "\n", "" ); 		flds[n-1] = flds[n-1].replace( "\r", "" ); 		nustr = "f ";		for( i = 0; i < n-1; i++ )		{			j = n-1-i;			nustr += flds[j];			nustr += " ";		}		str = nustr + "\n";	}		fout.write( str )}fin.close();fout.close();

UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE 

The shoes had an issue wherein they would appear black in the preview pane, but look (mostly) ok in renders, so i fixed that

When using the mcjG1StrappyShoesPosed file to load the shoes ( make sureGenesis 1 is selected ) the pose wasnt applied, now it is

Tamoka ( The Captain of The Guard of The Castle ),

back in the days,

underwent extremely harsh training in martial arts ,

here you see her at the secret Hamarikyū training facility.

Extremely harsh training!

Do you see her smile? No you dont see her smile,

because it was Extremely harsh training.

Everything is awsome.  I did try that script too, which works fine -although you could flip'em in geometry editor.

for my babysteps - does while( !fin.eof() ) mean 'while not at/reached the end of the input file' or do I have the wrong end of the stick?

i did try normals flipping in the geom editor, but it never worked for me,

even after saving the supposedly flipped obj, when i reload it, the normals are inverted.

Normals are stored as vectors in the Scene memory, when they are first computed, they are based on the vertex order of the facet corners,

so say a triangle facet is defined by corners  A, B C the vertex points out on one side of the facet

when the same triangle facet is defined by corners C, B,  A then the normal arrow point out of the other side of the facet

o .... just to explain what the script does, it reverses the order of the vertices for each facet. 

 

Looks like the geom editor only flips the memory resident normal vectors, but things like the obj exporter/importer just ignore them and recompute them based on vertex order

I'd say there's 50% chances this totally bored you and 50% chances you kinda knew all that but it's interesting.

 

yes while the while means, " as long as there's something left to read in the file, read another line from the file, then if the line is a facet definition, reverse the order of the facet corners, then write this line to the output file"
