Foot pose locking

Nancyclair

I often have a problem of having to re-pose feet with certain shoes, after changing the pose of a character. I have been using a foot pose that came with the Winston Dress to do this but it can be a pain to keep having to do it whenever a pose is changed.

I have just started using iClone and 3DXchange, and the conversion process was also bending the feet and shoes into weird shapes, and it's probably possible but I could not figure out how to fix it in iClone or 3DXchange since I just started using them. I found a solution online which another user posted in the iClone forum. It involves locking parameters of the feet, toes, and shoes in DAZ studio before doing any exporting or converting of the DAZ figure. I tried it and it worked.

It also works in DAZ Studio. Now, whenever I change a pose, I do not have to go back and pose the feet. Every once in a while there might be some issue with the shoe having a hole in it. I only tried it once so far with one particular shoe. This is a Predatron stiletto shoe. It comes with a slider in the foot parameter called pred fit shoe that fixes those holes. It's a really versatile shoe that comes with Predatron Boudoir for Victoria 6.

I would like to see some kind of way to lock the foot and shoe pose with one option. Maybe there is an easy way to do this that I don't know about, or there is a way to make a script or custom parameter to do it?
