Hello, I am going nuts. I have the morphs for vicki 2 to pose her feet for high heels...however, my feet never work!! I see so many pictures with her feet looking great in high heels and I just can't get them to work. My feet either get very mishapen or the shoes don't want to conform properly (they get all distorted). Does anyone know what I can do or if there is a great tutorial? Thanks for your help Jamacove;)

It all depends on the shoes. What shoes are you having trouble with? They usually explain what you need to do to conform the shoes properly in the README file. Some (such as PhilC's V3 boots) use morphs that are included with the shoes. Others, such as those in the DAZ V3 HiHeel pack use poses which bend the feet and toes. For the latter, it is best to lock the feet and toes after applying the pose.

I went nuts too, when first tried to put Vickie's feet in those damn high heels, boots, etc. They come distorted because they are conforming and so they take bend, twist and side from the character dials, and Vickie's starting position is, let's say, "flatfooted". The trick is real simple: being sure that the figure selected is Victoria - and not the shoe - put her foot bending to about 45 and her toe bending to about -45 (adjustements may be needed conforming to the height of the heels,and maybe You'll have to modify a bit also twist and side-side for a perfect fit),and You'll have those grat looking high heels feet.You can do that before You conform the shoes to Vicky, but it's the same if You do it after (in this case the distorted shoes will "magically" aquire their correct shape)- just remember to select Victoria as figure. Best second thing to do is locking the Vickie's toes (from the menu "Properties" check "Lock Actor"), so they'll mantain the correct bending respect the foot; better not to lock the foot because different poses need different positions. Only real important thing is those "about 45" between foot and toes. Women knows if that aches (before they get used to it) while I had to fight "against" Poser for hours before understanding how they worked. I hope it was clear enough (my English is not too good) and it helped. Alberto

Thank you Alberto...I understood perfectly ;) I will try that! nakamuram: I am trying to use some boots that I downloaded but I really don't remember the name of them. But they are very high heeled and that is where the trouble starts. I didn't even think to lock the toes. Thank you both again ;)

The important thing to remember is that some shoes conform with morphs and others conform with poses. Read the README file to be certain. Good luck JaMaCoVe!! By the way, Jama means trouble in Japanese.

Really? Actually my nick is from the first two initials of my, Jan, my daughter Mareena, my daughter Corrina, and my husband Vern. I will remember to read the README...I just get so carried away when I open poser that I just want to jump right in.
