Poses and height

rokkr

In some stock poses (the ones bought here), for instance, when there's some heel pose on the feet, the character is elevated, like his center was changed but the character's "Y Translated" parameter is still zero. The problem is, if I want to apply a pose like this for a character not wearing heels and, thus, change the feet to a flat position, the character will be floating, and I'll have to adjust the "Y Translated" parameter to a negative value, even if the character was supposed to be at zero level. How do I avoid that? Even if I apply the pose pressing control and deselect "Translation... Y Axis," the change still happens. Also, I'm also curious not only about knowing how to disable that but also about how to do that because, if I attempt to replicate the pose, I'll have to adjust the "Y Translated" parameter to make it not sink on the floor. Also, the heel example was only one possibility, it may happen also in other poses, like laying, sitting, and so on.

Instead of giving the character a negative Y Translate, how about giving the character's Hip bone a negative Y Translate?

Well... If I'm trying to replicate the pose, it might do, but, my priority here is to nullify the effect... And, with the pose I'm using as a test, though there was a little Y translation on the hip bone, after flattening the feet, it wasn't enough to take the character to the ground (it was something about +2 and, after flattening the feet, I had to add about -3)... But maybe it's the way it is... If this is enough, thank you, but if you know any other tip or something I'm missing, I'll appreciate if you share and, of course, thank you again anyway. For your reference, the pose I'm talking about is Absolute Basics Poses and Expressions for Genesis 3 Female(s), pose 18, base female.

Okay, I think I understand what you're saying.

Even if you could disable the character's (hip bone) Y Translate when loading a pose, I think adjusting the Y Translate would still be a necessary task.
If you put shoes on the character, you need to adjust for the thickness of the soles.

Using Move To Floor (Ctrl+D) will make the grounding process a little easier.

Wow! Thanks! I didn't know about the "move to the floor" trick (and neither about adjusting the hip coordinates). I've learned a lot from you. Thanks!

I'm pleased that was useful for you.
