Actually -- One Right Shoe. I've got an old high-topped tennis shoe mesh I'd like to use in Poser, but I only have the right one. I'm not a modeler & have no real 3D modeling apps & don't even have a clue how much trouble it would be to flip it to make a shoe for the left foot. I know it's kinda weenie to ask, but [in my most pathetic Tiny-Tim voice] if it's not a major undertaking, might one of you assist me?

If it's not a copyright violation I'd be willing to give it a shot. If you e-mail it to me I'll try mirroring it. What is the format; 3ds, obj or other? I can handle both of those formats, but not much else. jon jstro@swbell.net

export as an .obj, open in RayDream,just hit OK in the box that pops up in Open (thatis, leave the defaults as is). Then Select All Objects, and select Duplicate with Symmetry. Then Select the new, mirrored, object that is created and Save as an .obj of your own naming, in this case, probably "left shoe."

Wow - coincidence or what?! I found a pair of tennis shoes at 3dcafe the other day. Unfortunately, only one of them had the materials for the contrasting stripe and sole, so I eventually figured out how to mirror that one and import it successfully into Poser. I used 3D Exploration (magazine cover CD), Anim8or (freeware) and Compose (freeware). And a LOT of brain cells. The result doesn't pose (toes won't bend) but will be useful all the same - all for free!

If you have CR2Edit, open the OBJ, click Mirror, choose X translations only, and save. Dan http://www.zenwareonline.com/cr2edit/cr2edit.html Sorry Win only for software http://www.zenwareonline.com for ZenPaint, ZenTile, ZenGrid and VueMaster
