Quote - My personal preference is for toe caps or anything else Like that (pubic hair or genital "cache-sexe") to be a parented prop as opposed to conforming figure... I just find conforming stuff aside from shirt/pants/skirt to be hard to work with since I often do a lot of scaling etc... I usually just parent conforming hair and genitals etc. I /think/ the toe caps might even be able to "inherit" toe bends if they are parented. I tend to like geometry switching over parented props and parented props over conforming figures but that is just me.

I agree that whenever a prop can do the job, it should be preferred over a conforming figure. If and when I make pubic hair for Antonia - and I say 'if' only because someone else might get to it before I do, in which case I might not bother anymore - I'll definitely try to make it a prop. Antonia's unlike any figure I've seen because her groin region actually deforms quite a bit via JCMs following the movements of the legs. So any prop that sits on top of that region would need to inherit some of those deformations via ERC magicks, but I'm pretty sure it can be done.

I think geometry switching could in fact work really well for toecaps that aren't supposed to be transparent. In that case I would just replace the toe geometry with the toecap geometry instead of combining them. I'll have to think about that. I mean, how often do we need a figure in stockings and sandals or just stockings without shoes, and we actually need the toes to be visible through the tips of the stockings? I might have some posing morph and/or JCMs in those parts as well, so I'd probably have to use a pose file to do the switch., so the geometry and the morph could be switched over at the same time.

PS: glad to see you around, momodot.
