Does anyone know how to put a character flat on the ground or floor to where it doesn't make them look like they are floating in the mid air?  Every time I set up a character with it's feet on the ground as close as I can get it, it still looks like the character is floating after rendering.  Thanks for the help.

Click on 'Figure' on the top menu bar & then from the drop down menu click on 'Drop to floor'.

Sometimes after you've changed the pose you may have to manually make changes to get it just right.

Stormchaser I did drop to the floor and it still looks like they are floating.  I will attach a render in here so you can see what I mean.  Here it is. Adrian

anonymous1 -  I think you will need to change your shadow settings, this can really give the appearance of the feet being on the ground.

You are right.  I don't have any shadows in there at all. I didn't have them checked in the light settings.  I'll try that.

Stormchaser OK I loaded the scene and now I don't know which shadow to use.  Do I use Depth Map Shadows or Ray Trace Shadows?  Thanks. Adrian

Due to the complexity of that scene, I would go with raytraced shadows. You'll probably want to move the light more to the side, though, or you won't see the shadows very well. Very dim lights don't always need shadows, so you'll have to decide if you want to use shadows for the other light. If you do, you can use a shadowmap with a lower shadow size (256-512 should do).

A little bit of Ambient Occlusion really helps with "fixing" the character to the ground.

I find that even when I do use Drop to Floor, sometimes the character is still floating above the ground.
What I do  is switch to front camera.  Then I select the character's Body from the parameter
window.  The I use the Y translate dial to line up the bottom of the character(s feet)
with the white horizontal line.  I also check the left, right, and back cameras.
Perfect feet every time.
If you don't see the white line, you may have to check Ground on in the Guides menu.
Also sometimes it disappears, but shows up as you move your character, and
then disappears again after you stop moving your character.

As EricJ says, AO is the way to go as well, I use it in all my renders.

I find that on many surfaces it looks better if the bottom edge of the  feet are a TINY bit below the ground .  It is usually the very slight shadow that fixes the item to the ground.

OK I'll try all the stuff you guys suggested.  It's hard to get it just right.  Thanks again.
