Making G8F Shoes Fit G8F?
(I'm a Poser user of 15 years, trying to move to DS. Last platform was G2F, DSON Import, under P10/2014)
Maybe this is a silly question, but how to 'fit' shoes which don't seem to fit. This lighting-test image below shows DAZ "Lara for G8F", so right off the bat I understand she's a scaled toonish character. The shoes are the Rocker Outfit, which "just shows up" in my DAZ lib, so I assume it is part of the G8 starter kit.I did delete & re-add the shoes a few times, being careful to have Lara selected each time.
Notice how Lara's feet are too wide? Toes also poke out? I had hoped G8 rigging moved past such things. The "Rocker Shoes" node lacks the Scale X/Y/Z dials (what I'd use with Poser & G2F), plus has no other adjust morphs. The single "Scale" dial does bizzarre black-hole mutation things, so that doesn't work. Scaling Lara's feet seems to be a NOP.
With my P10 & DSON, they had a 'DSON transfer active morphs', which attempted to add base-figure morphs to conformed clothing. The usually (but not always) fixed such fit-issues. Is there something like that in DS? Note: I can live with THESE shoes not fitting THIS gal, as this my learning/light-testing fun, but I want to know that I'm not missing anything obvious!
Comments
In DS morph transfer is automatic as long as the morph is setup with the "autofollow" flag.
Regarding the scale dials, they might be hidden by default. There's an option in the menu for the parameters tab to show hidden parameters.
Maybe the poke-through is caused by the different foot pose which was applied when you applied the fully-body pose? I had those issues with other shoes. Reapplying the foot pose for the specific shoe (it's under poses in the product view) or changing the pose of the toes manually might help.
Thanks, I will try the 'auto-follow' and reposing. I have not seen this in many other items, so worst-case I just won't use these shoes when they don't fit!
The way how I solve this problem is by enabling show hidden morphs and them disabling those morphs for feet. I usually do it not to prevent poke through but to prevent shoe distortion.
Since your shoes hide a significant portion of the feet you can modify shoes to hide a certain portion of host geometry when being fitted on.
this will be the easiest solution rather than trying to tinker with hidden morphs.
Pretty sure that the Rocker Outfit was for Genesis 2. It's typical to have some trouble with shoes fitting properly across generations
