Hey all you poser masters out ther .. i had a quick question..

Is it possible to make a figure where only parts of the figure will conform .. for instance .. a belt that conforms with a scabbard that hangs down but doesn't conform?

Or wold it be better to make the whole thing a perfectly conforming figure?

Basically i'm looking at some of the things i've done in freebies and trying to find better ways to do them so i can improve my future work.

one of the things i'm looking at is reducing the number of props i make when i'm making things like conforming armour ... In my P4Fem Fantasy armour i made a conforming belt, but the scabbard and the sword IN the scabbard are both smart props.. i'm trying to reduce this ... my tain of thought was if i could include the scabbard as part of the figure then i could do just the the sword as a prop and reduce the number of prop files i have to juggle .. BTW what brought some of this to my attention is i'm currently working on an image that has 7 characters .. 6 of which are armoured and armed to the teeth .. while i know most people who might use my stuff won't go THIS insane ... it might be helpfull if i try to reduce things like the number of props one has to keep up with :)

Yes, it's possible to make a conformer with additional parts. My conforming necklace for Furrette has the chain in the chest group, but the pendant is a separate posable body part. There's also a body handle so you can move the entire chain around to simulate gravity and other vectors.

Yes...I've done, among other things, "conforming" clothing items that in reality only conformed a bone to the figure, with the actual hat or belt being a rotatable child of the bone.
