heyas; erm... i can't tell what the picture is of, i thought the white spot was the empty space between the straps.... but okay. we'll run down the usual suspects. look at the model in smooth-shaded wireframe mode. if that's one polygon that's getting freaky like that, perhaps that's a point where you need another subdivision. what happens if you bend the toe? does it go away, does it get worse/better? did you run it through uvmapper and look for degenerate facets? true, that should show up on both versions of the model, but who knows. are you sure all the points at the foot/toe seam really line up? did they all used to be single points before you sliced them into groups? poser can get REALLY picky about this. that's all i can think of; that's a weird one. now if that white area IS empty space between the straps, you have a serious problem! :)
