    but frankly since the shoes dont suffer poke-trough during ankle bending, i think i may skip the rather complicated work to turn them into figures

    so i could spend the time on making the leather thicker, making the shoes texturizable ( a good UV map ) and adjustable heel height

    also i didnt mention it but there will be an open-toe (peep toe ) version, and versions for TheGirl2 and maybe Aiko5

    this animation was made with the great help of mcjAutoLimb, mcjKeepOrient and mcjMakeTarget

    incidentally i noticed mcjautolimb is not Aiko5-compatible (probably other Genesis figures too) and i should fix this soon

    With Aiko5 do you mean genesis and its morphs too? Nice Work BTW :)

    Props should work fine for this sort of shoe - and also allow variations such as taking one off, dangling from A3's toes, and such.

    Thanks!

    Now the bad news - the file seems to have no geometry in it. :(

    Edit to add: the PP2 file is looking for :Runtime:Geometries:mcasual:mcjA3PumpsBeta_L.obj (or _R), but the zip contains only Runtime/libraries/Props/mcasual.

    What I meant is regarding fitting as figures. Not props.

    Yeah, what English Bob said. :-) Too many times I want to play with the footwear like that and can't.

    Looks good, as always.

    Well... It seems that there are no geometries in the package.

    thanks!

    Aiko5 is a morphed Genesis yes, so there would be a version of the shoes that fit her default shape and size

    if i keep it as a prop i don't know if there's an easy way to make it fit the other Genesis figures since the prop is modeled over a tip-toeing pose

    Thanks for getting on this so fast, and even offering a direct link. I use the Gen3 figures almost exclusively, and A3 is my go-to gal.

    Do you care if appreciation renders show up in your thread?

    renders are welcome :)

    the UV map for version 2 is almost ready, but i'll fix the little visible seams ( thought i could get away with this )

    good news the UV map for mcjA3Pumps Beta version 2 looks better than expected

    i'll post it on my site in a few minutes

    -----

    the fact that the chessboard texture still looks like a chessboard ... that's a good sign

    also i fixed some ''leaks'' in the geometry

    later on we'll see if we can make studs using a displacement map

    incidentally this photo shows a studded Bianca 140mm shoe by C.Louboutin

    Actually a noob question: where should I put the pz2s? I tried to apply them but they do not do anything... :(

    Actually a noob question: where should I put the pz2s? I tried to apply them but they do not do anything... :(

    the zip package containing the 2 morph injectors and 1 pose should be unzipped into a daz studio content folder

    on my PC that's
    - C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library
    or
    - C:\Program Files (x86)\DAZ\Studio\content

    once unzipped the poses can be found in Daz Studio's content tab under

    Poser Format / Studio / Pose / mcasual
    or
    Poser Format / My Library / Pose / mcasual

    you must select Aiko3 before applying the 3 poses

    the 2 morph injections don't do anything visible, one has to, for example, select Aiko3's left toes, and look in the parameters tab for a brand new channel named "pushToes" and turn its strength up to 100% - then the big toe of the left foot will move inward
    in the case of the fitStilettos morph, it's the feet and shin nodes that gain a new channel which needs to be pumped up to 100%

    but but the new pose i added yesterday will do this work for you

    so you apply the pustToe morph, apply the fitStilettos morph, and apply the Pose named mcjA3PoseForMcjA3PumpsBeta

    and everything should fall in place

    ------

    then you want to parent each shoe to the respective foot

    ----------

    none of this will work if the figure is not Aiko3 ( the genesis-Aiko3 wont work either )

    ----------

    another way to apply a pz2 pose is to do : File / Import / Poser file ...

    Ah yeah... I forgot to look in the parameters -.-. Aiko is a Gen3 figure. Too much used to genesis :P
