I have had many frustrations in my years of using Daz Studio and Poser...which include lighting...posing...just to name a few.  But the one frustration that i find by far the worse...that is for me...is shoe fitting! and posing.

Of course almost all shoe sets come with a ton of morphs and dials and feet poses to help adjust the shoes to the character...and in most cases all these morphs dials and feet poses do the trick...but in other cases its the complete opposite!...

i cant begin to tell you the extended periods of time that i have spend adjusting and working with the morph dials to try and make the shoe fit and look proper!...not to mention the headache and frustration that goes along with it!...i have come to realize that just applying the provided feet pose is by no means all that needs to be done.

Yes...the characters feet adopt the position for the given shoe when the feet pose is applied...but that is not the end of the story!...there is a ton of more adjustments to be made...and i mean a ton!...there are so many different dials...that i would not even know where to start!...as you can clearly see in these images all these were with the feet pose applied that was provivded...but the imperfections that still remain are numerous!...and as much as i fiddle and fiddle with the dials and morphs...i just cant get it right!...

 

I have also noticed that this happens specially with open shoes where the toes and most part of the feet are visible.  With shoes that are closed there is different tricks that can be done...one of them being hiding the toes...but i am sure that most of you knew that already.

 

Needless to say this shoe fitting ordeal is driving me out of my mind!...and of course it is possible to get the right and perfect final render...because that can be seen in all the promos!...but of course those are done by professionals who know more then one trick to make it all look right!...if only i was let in on those secret tools of the trade!...

 

If any one here knows of any other way or trick...or maybe even a comprehensive tutorial on fitting shoes properly and making everything look right...i would really appreciate it!...

 

I spend hours adjusting and working with dials and morphs to try to make the my characters look good in the shoes...and all that is time that i could actually spend creating my art!...but i can not continue until everything looks right...and that includes the shoes!...

 

Thx for viewing.
