    this wacky model I started from a cylinder is of a gymboot... these days they call them converse... cool

    I guess, with a little more effort it could be a product.

     

    Stezza....  how did you 'rig' it?   I still have problems with G3 shoes even doing Misty's convert to blended and saving as a figure prop after appplying to her Carrara G3 in DS, then putting them onto the Carrara G3 character in Carrara.  They fit, but I have to pose the figure first, then put the shoes on. Otherwise the soles stay 'glued' to the floor.  I can get around it by making each shoe a separate object, then parenting each to the left and right foot in Carrara. BUT I do not have the metatarsal or ankle/foot bend ability.  So how to rig that part???  Sorry not to be around much... just a lot going on in real life. I am still tryint to work on the NPR character scenes.

    I think that is Veronika's Leon

    those later genesis charcters have a foot issue hers does not suffer from

    Hi Silene..

    from memory ( House Rules is about to start )

    after modeling the shoes I loaded Leon's sandles into Carrara then I modeled the shoes to shape using the sandals as atemplate. Once happy with that I exported my shoes to OBJ using DS as the export scale..

    Then start up DS yuk!

    load Leon add his sandals then import the shoes OBJ fie and adjust to fit Leon as close as possible..

    I then deleted Leon... and used the transfer utility to transfer from the sandals to the shoe OBJ

    deleted the sandals and then saved the shoes ... Loaded up Leon and then see if the shoes fit him in the usual fit to way... 

    Mine worked first go so I didn't bother with any adjustments and doing it again.. just luck I guess..

    Then start up Carrara, load Leon and dress him up with my new shoes.. yes

    I'm pretty sure those were the steps I did.

    Perfect recipe, Dave! That's what calls "using templates".

    BTW, I never tried to wear this kind of shoes without laces surprise

  • SileneUKSileneUK Posts: 1,975

    Oh that's an interesting 'recipe'... I will make a template. Maybe I can get Leon based shoes to go onto Misty's C3 people?  surprise Silene

    Interesting that you use the sandals for the transfer utility instead of the Leon figure.  I have been using Leon (or Genesis or whatever) in the transfer utility.  Would I be better off using a clothing item for the figure?  Or, is that just for shoes and other footwear?  Maybe it makes no difference?

  • StezzaStezza Posts: 8,051

    mmm.. I dunno

    I just thought I'd try it that way ( as I also do what you do ) to be different and to see what would happen..  cool

    I think you may be right... makes no diff . smiley

    I think what Vyusur meant was this:

    He used the Sandals (that were made for the figure in question) not only to model around, but also as the rigging source (by transferring the rig from the sandals to the shoes in DS)

  • DartanbeckDartanbeck Posts: 21,551

    Yeah... really nice scooter! Love it!

    More wonderful modeling, Dave.  The rock opera, Tommy, was recently a point of discussion in a classic movies group.  Your Elton John boots were spot on!  Great job on tridens, furry animals, and all the rest.

    Emu footy ball trophy?

  • Steve KSteve K Posts: 3,234

    My wife & I tried to attend a World Cup cricket match in London years ago.  Took the Tube to the stadium (Lord's? Maybe the other one) and found the only remaining tickets were 100 pounds, which was ... lessee ... a lot.  So we went back to the Tube station which was closed for boarding, only dropping off the big crowds.  So we walked to the next station (a few blocks) and went back to the pub and watched.  Probably had a better view anyway, the action is WAY out in the middle of a big ... pitch?  No, field.  That evening I asked a young waiter who won, he said beats him, he's going home to watch the N.Y. Yankees.  There was a big expo at Covent Garden at the time for ... Major League Baseball.
