Best Shoe transfer method from V4 to G3 to G8

  I found this method works really well on the shoes I tested...

  Load up your G8 figure and deselect it.

  Load up your shoes

  position and pose your shoes so they are lined up with G8's default pose

  Now you can either send the shoe to hexagon and back via the bridge to create a new prop or go to edit->figure->rigging->convert figure to prop

  now parent the shoe props to G8

  then go to edit->object->rigging->convert prop to figure

  the defaults should work fine (Triax weight map and with Inherit skeleton of parent checked)

  click ok

  fit shoes to G8 using unsupported and done.

   

  You may have to add a smoothing modifier to get rid of any poke through

  Appreciate the reply, thanks. How does this work for shoes with heels or boots ? Should the character's feet be posed? And Parent where? Under the top level scope, or the foot scope?

  The shoes I tried were mostly heels and they worked just fine.

  Do not pose the character, they should be in the default pose, just pose the shoes (you can do this by expanding the shoes in the tree and selecting the bones there)

  The parent just needs to be the top level character node (where it says Genesis3 or Genesis8)
