Thanks TrekkieGrrl! Glad to have you back and look forward to seeing what you do with this. I too prefer props to conforming figures wherever possible. It kills me when I see hair as conforming props and you can't use it on anything but what it is supposed to conform to. And I especially hate seeing it done that way when it isn't necessary like in the case of a slip-on pump when it would be so much easier and versatile as a smart prop.
So I both applaud you for your choice and for trying this. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately I am on a Mac and many of the apps available to the community overall are just not available to me or if they are I would need to invest in a more powerful system to use them on. But thanks for the ideas and response.
