Hi, I am still learning P4, and I have a basic understanding of how it all works, except for getting the female boot to fit on the female figure. I tried to using the conforming option but the feet show right throw the boots. Can any one help me on this one? I have seen remarkable rendings of the poser members and WoW! you are all very good. Thanks for you time. Mike.

There are two tricks with the female boot to get them to fit properly. After you've conformed the boots to the figure.... 1) Select the toes and set the property for them to invisible. Then do the same with the feet. This prevents them from showing through the boot. 2)Sometimes the "ankle" shows through the boot as well. Select each of the shins and taper them - 1% or 2% is ample.

I'bve just cut and pasted this from the Poserworld message board, 2 fixes.......... Yes but its a bit of a long winded fix...here go's on the figure make both feet and toes invisible then add the boots and conform.....then select the figure right shin and use the grouping tool to create a new material on the offending part....repeat this for the left shin then go to render materials and find your new material and make it invisible or the same color as the boots...first is best for renders second for non rendered animation...another tip is once thats all done save it as a pzr3 then rename that file as a cr2 and add to your character folder and it'll save you redoing it every time......Steve

I turn off the IK for each of the boots as well--they seem to retain their properties and don't have to be re-conformed all the time. Of course, the figure wants to sink slightly below floor level, but that's easily adjusted.

Or, DL the boots made by Phil Hokosai. They conform better than the stock poser boots. The Clara Kringle boots conform pretty well too. (shameless plug :-) nerd
