Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 04 4:13 pm)
I have attached the file at the top of this post. I had to add a ".TXT" file extension to post it here as an attachment. Save the file to a pose folder without the ".TXT" part of the extension.
INSTRUCTIONS:
HeelHelper only works in P6 or above. HeelHelper let's you apply a static correction value to the bend of the foot, and to the hight of the Body actor above the ground. HeelHelper can be applied either before or after the walk cycle has been applied, but its dials should remain set at zero until after the walk cycle has been applied. Make sure the character, NOT a shoe, is selected when you apply HeelHelper. After applying the walk cycle advance the animation a few frames until the thighs are lined up approximately side by side, use the yHip dial to raise the figure, use the HeelAdjust dial to set the shoes (or feet, if bare foot) parallel to the floor, if necessary readjust the yHip dial. Advance the animation and see if the toes dig into the floor, if so find a frame where the toe dig is at its worst and use the 'NoToeDig' dial to correct this. After using HeelHelper, you may find that using the "DropFigAllFrames" Python script (that comes with Poser), will further improve the walk.
If you need to reapply the walk cycle, or add a new walk cycle, you should zero the HeelHelper dials first. You should also zero the dials before saving the figure back to a pallet, this is not necessary when saving a pz3.
I have only tested HeelHelper in P6, but have had reports of it working in P7.
Thanks for replying. I was about to lose hope.
I downloaded the file and tried to remove the TXT extention by renaming it and leaving the pz2 but it doesn't change from being a text file. Could you upload it instead to rapidshare or some other filesharing site so it could be easy for me?

You could try a pz2 I wrote "HeelHelper", It was meant to solve the opposite problem, letting a flat footed figure walk in high heels, but it should work the other way round as well. I don't have V4, so can't test it on that figure myself. If you try it, please let me know if it solves your problem or not.I have attached the file at the top of this post.

Assuming you are running under a Windows OS, open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer), from the menu bar, select 'Tools', and then 'Folder Options', in the 'View' tab, make sure "Hide file extensions for known file types" does NOT have a tick (U.S. "check") in its box, click OK. Now use Windows Explorer to browse to the file you saved, right click on the file, select 'Rename', type in the correct name, then press the Enter key.
By default Windows hides many file extensions, this is a terrible idea, and causes problems when you try to rename files. Doing the above procedure in the View options should fix the problem.
If you want you can return the "Hide file extensions for known file types" to its previous status after renaming the file, but I recommend that you don't, as if you do you, will just face the same problem in the future.

I got it now. And hey, it worked like a charm! Thanks lesbentley! Yes, it works well in my Poser 7.
The only problem left is how to change the l with something more interesting.

I noticed that v4 walks landing the steps on her toes not on her heels when you use walk designer. I need to know if there is a way to make v4 walk stepping on the heel first like what a man does.
