Tutorial
1. Go to 'accessory manipulation' and click 'load'.
2. Select 'foot_l [Footprint.fx].x' and click 'OK'.
3. In the accessory manipulation box, attach 'foot_l [Footprint.fx].x' to the left toe bone of the model that you want to apply the effect to. Click 'register' when done.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 with 'foot_r [Footprint.fx].x' and attach it to the model's right toe bone.
5. Go to 'accessory manipulation', click 'load' and select 'footpanel0.x'. Place it very slightly above the ground by making the Y parameter in accessory manipulation higher than 0.0000. You can load multiple footpanel planes and place them next to each other for a longer floor panel.
6. When the model's feet touch the footpanels, a footprint will be left where contact was made.
7. If the footprints do not exactly show where the model's feet have touched the panels, you can manually move 'foot_l [Footprint.fx].x' and 'foot_r [Footprint.fx].x' into a better position by manipulating the X and Z values in accessory manipulation.
Tips
-If you want footprints to be left behind but you do not want the floor to be white, you can set the Tr of the 'footpanel.x' effects to 0.00.
-You can change the transparency of the footprint by editing the Tr value of 'foot_l [Footprint.fx].x' and 'foot_r [Footprint.fx].x' effects.
-The footprints will disappear when you press 'play', and will reappear during the animation playback.
