Thank you. Happy new year!

Nice! Are you going to share this?

I loaded the wrong picture for the fitting room. That was an unsuccessful experiment. Only the boxes down to the shin should be selected.

Another way to rig high-heeled, rigid boots is to rig down only to the shin. These books are from the neo-victorian outfit for G8F (not recommended because the bodysuit is missing). The boots were rigged to the shins in DS. This allowed me to pose the shins inward to change the pose to the usual in Poser rather than the A pose of G8F. As usual, I exported an obj and imported it to Poser. Then, with La Femme zeroed, I positioned the boots, posed theft  thigh, shin, foot, and toes to fit the boots and then used the pose symmetry command to mirror it. A little morph brush work on the boots produced a good fit.

This is the view from above the ground plane.

Save the foot pose! You'll want it later. Rig the obj to the shins in the fitting room with LF not zeroed.

In the pose room, zero LF and then pose the boots you rigged to fit the shins. Now, go to the fitting room and rig the non-zeroed boots to zeroed LF down to the shins.

Conform the boots to LF and apply to her the foot pose that you saved. You may have to tinker a bit with the pose or polish the boots up a bit with the morph brush, but new LF has some sext new boots.

If you are lucky enough to still be using Poser 11, go to the material room on the simple tab. Select a material you want to change with the eye dropper tool. Click the panel displaying the texture and click browse. That should take you to the folder in your DAZ Studio library where the materials for the model are located. Select a different file and execute. If the textures are from a third party, such as a freebie, look at the download file to see where the textures are stored.

Good work!

The illustration for my freebie Jenny 8 for La Femme shows Jenny wearing a rigged version of the Vita Gown for G8F (available at DAZ). My tutorials thus far have focused in using the loosen and tighten features of the morph brush, but making the Vita gown riggable required experimentation with and heavy use of the pull function. The problem was that the fabric on the left side where there is a slit overlapped the front and back panels. I tried using the pull tool to move the top layer to the side in one direction and then the bottom layer in the other. This produced ghostlike tendrils between the two layers. So I zoomed in close and tackled the bottom layer first with the pull tool from a sharp angle to separate the front and back, then further developed an "open slit" morph on the left side. I also created one for the right slit, which was easily accomplished. I then did the rigging with the slits open and auto grouped to the front and back skirt handles of our MFD for La Femme.

When you fix it, I recommend creating a UI dot in each room for the layout you like. That has saved me many a time when I have accidentally messed up the palettes.

@shante: There is a way to use recent Genesis figures in Poser, if you use Windows-- Genesis 3 Poser Updater by willdial. If you just want the body shape, I have two freebies that get you [retty darned close. Jenny 8 for La Femme and Jenny 3 for Pauline.

Also, consider how many users even here are afraid to use Superfly or even the Cloth Room (if forum users and gallery posters can be considered a sampling of actual userbase). There are still a lot of Poser 8 or earlier style renders around if you peek. The adaptation to the 21st century is as slow and gentle as possible. For reasons like NFAs as well the commo about new developments is limited.

I remember wishing Poser featured more prominent to Rendo's site marketing when they acquired the program. It took them a very long time to implement those changes too, which is usually a sign of limited resources both in staffing and finance. I see nothing to indicate worry here.

Just for the record, I am not afraid to use Superfly or the Cloth Room. I have used Superfly. Superfly is way too complicated for barely any improvement in my renders. The Cloth Room is a time suck and a poor option for scenes with numerous figures. And Poser 11 Pro actually belongs to the 21st century, too.

V4 is sufficient for my little pictures - but I will admit Daz has some beautiful outfits for their G8 girls.

Not that I can afford them anyway.

Thanks for the update, DCArt. 

DSON Converter no se vende mas. Hay un program (Genesis 3 Poser Updater by willdial) que puede importar Genesis 3. Yo creo que funciona también por Genesis 8. No funciona en Poser 12, solo Poser 11.

What happened to your TT work on La Femme? At one point when DCArt started converting V4 and Genesis 2 characters to La Femme, she let slip that a texture transformer module had been created for La Femme. Never a word more was heard. Did Rendo catch and kill? No TT module emerged. I hope the L’Homme project  works out.

Here are the boots with Poser materials applied.

And here are the smart prop versions of the morphed objects I created earlier. parented to the shins The same feet pose works, of course.
