How you you do footprints in Poser on something like a sandy beach, or snow, or anything that would show footprints. Thanks

I would do it in post work, But there was a thread a long time ago, someone used magnets on the feet to get foot prints in the snow. A search for foot prints might come up with something. Tashar 59

I personally would use a square prop (so I can control the scale) for the ground, and make a bump map with footprints in it.

yes a bump map on the ground plain or a floor prop would be the thing though it wouldn't show deep footprints the way a bryce terrain would (by the way if you know anyone with bryce they could export a terrain as an obj file which you could use in poser.)

If the ground is level, you could make a Square or Box just big enough to contain one footprint, give it a bump map, then set out a series of them all placed level with the main ground. Set all of the "step tiles" invisible to begin, then have the character walk on them, and turn each tile visible just after a foot leaves it.

post work.

1. Buy and install Poser 5. 2) Turn a high-poly square into a piece of Poser 5 cloth, set feet as collision objects, and have the figure walk across the cloth. 3) Create a nice sand texture using the Material room. At least that's how I'd do it :-).

Easiest way to do it... buy Bryce and export the terrain.

Oh, you'll need to use terrain objects for the footprints. primatives dont' export. come to think of it, boolean groups don't export. So scratch that, buy a mid range modeler that can work with bryce terrains and export the final mesh.

until I buy P5: (abridged) in poser make a foot object for each foot. export. import into bryce. make feet invisable. put feet slightly into terrain. boolean with feet being negative. (terrain positive.) use render as ground texture in Poser.
