Pose to hide body part

Burpee

It gets tedious hiding certain body parts by browsing through the scene tab.  How can I make a simple 'hide foot'  ' hide toe' or 'hide hands' pose?  Is it possible?

I don't recall if a Materials Preset includes VIsibility, but if it doesn't use a Properties Preset.

That will work for the foot and hands, thanks.  It does not work for hiding just the 'toes'.  Any other way to hide toes besides textue domain visibility?

I may make and save property preset,, to easy hide some nodes only.

load figure, (with no morph no pose, )  then hidden parts,, then save as property preset.

 

uncheck "shape", "morph" "material"  section, but  go to "others" then check "include others settings in preset"

usually it only record "un-visible" about nodes which you set. (not change pose,, or shape)

(untill save it,, check again,, you only check which you need to record in the preset,, to avoid,, the preset change mesh resolution etc without intention  ^^;)

And you may hope  to make another property preset,,  , to visible all nodes.

Thank you very much Kitakoredaz.  I was able to hide the toes following your instructions.

I was also able to make a 'show toes' pose.  Thank you so much!

Sorry,, not full explain,,

You may need once all nodes set visible again (or simply restore figure)

then save it as proeprty preset,, only about nodes, >general  Display >Scene view> visible,

, (I think, you can not use auto-process,, (save modified only)

bedause as default,, they are visible,, then need carefully check each node visiblity,,(tidy work ^^;)

my pic only show,, when you need to set visiblity about left toes,,visibllity in scene, and render,,

(you may need to check or undeck for each case which you need to save

eg,, save about  all nodes visiblity (scene and render) only .

Thank you for your assistance and help.  I now have two presets.  One to hide the toes and one to show the toes :)

I now find more smart way ^^;

1. make  un-visible property preset.

2.  load zero figure,, then apply the un-visible preset

3  memorize figure (it should set current proeprty value as default)

4 restore figure ( I think,, it just confirm but,, I do) , it may not change anything

5  set visible again, manually,, (or select all nodes,, (by select children) then in parameter set them as visible.

6  then save it as proeprty preeset,,,  as same as use, "check modified only"

it may only check about,, you modified = you set visible again,, 

(I test some case,, it seems work,, but may need more test,, then if you hope to make preset which set all node visiblity,,

you once hidden all nodes,, then memorize figure,,restore figure >visible all nodes,, then save as property preset,,

with option "(check modifed only) should (I feel so) work . ^^

sorry,,seems not work,,,, even though I mermozie figure about invisible figure,  and change visiblity ,

when I use check modified only,,ds not set is as modified ><;

I used your instructions and I have hide and show presets that work properly. 

For the 'show' preset I used your instructions but did not hide any body parts.

LOL. I just got finished making 32 hide poses and 32 show poses for G3F. I got you covered.

1 Select the parts you want hidden in the scene tab, then toggle visibility off in the parameters tab.
2 Save As>Properties Preset: you want to uncheck the box for the first three tabs on top, then go to the fourth tab and check the box. Click the button on the right and navigate to Uncheck All. Then click it again and navigate to Check All Modified Only. Then save.

Once you have all your hide poses done (I used the basic ones like hide left foot and hide left leg to build bigger ones like hide left leg & foot, hide legs, etc.), copy the lot to another folder. Use a renamer (I use File Renamer Deluxe) to replace "hide" with "show" in the file names. Then open all the DUFs in a text editor (I use Notepad++) and replace the bits that say 0, 0, 0, with 1, 1, 1, and the bits that say "false" with "true" (easiest way to do this in Notepad++ is to open everything at once, copy the offending text into the search>replace function, and then click "replace in all opened documents"). Now you have your show poses.

You could go all sperg like I did and make custom thumbnails for them too, but YMMV. :)

Oh, forgot to mention, I think you want file compression turned off when saving your properties presets (so you can open them in a text editor).

Yes, that saves having to decompress them or having a text editor capable of decompressing on the fly (yes, there is a slight chance of losing the file/edit using a decompress on the fly editor, but out of the hundreds I've edited that way, I've lost maybe 2...).

Thanks, that's exactly what I asked in another topic. I can then close it now, thanks again !
(my research was for especially hiding/showing parts of clothes, not body parts, but your tips works aswell for that subject!)
