Shoe Rigging (Pro)

mmaximuss

Hi guys created those heels, now.. How to rig them propperly? so that morphs from Genesis don't affect it and they kept their structure.

this method works ( https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/524376/trouble-with-shoe-rigging-my-soles-are-warped-and-bumpy ), but when i apply morphs to figure, shoes loosing smoothnes, and over smoothing with smoothing modifier i don't think is a good solution.. 

Is there any propper guide for that?

You probably need to create custom morphs to match the figure morph, projection will fail for much the same reason as projection of the basic rigging isn't good enough.

This is how I rig high heel shoes... usually the default smoothing is enough to fix any distortions.

@mmazimuss Those heels look great! Nicely done! :D I've not rigged shoes before, so I can't be of help -but hopefully the link Mada gave will be helpful. I'm going to watch it too, as I'm sure it will teach me a few things. :D Mada does awesome work, so if you do it the way she does you'll be golden! :D
