Would anyone know why my foot at the ankle area looks like there is a bump there and color like wearing hoes cuts off at the foot. How can I get that area to be smooth. Everything else on my avatar looks good. I am female and wear high heels. I have checked my graphics card and cannot find anything to help. I am running a good card that should be able to handle everything.

e-GeForce 9800 GTX nvidia 512MB DDR3 PCI-E graphics card

ty very much for any advice you might have,

Does this happen regardless of what skin is worn?

There's a texture seam, right at the ankle, between the "leg" part of the lower torso, and the "foot". Some surprisingly expensive skins get that seam surprisingly wrong.

...hoes...
(O.o)

Anyway.... =^-^=

Yeah... the avatar mesh is lumpy. I usually avoid open shoes because of that... And I'm a big boot fan in the first place. It will be one of those things you'll just have to turn a blind eye to until the mesh gets updated. (=_=)y

I will have to check skins. But I believe it happens anyway. I have been checking other avatars out. The other night I saw a female avatar in high heels and her ankles looked perfect. That is what I am after. I have to have the smooth look as I am going to model.

I gave the information on my graphics card I am using in my first message. Would anyone know if there is a setting in there I need to change. I also notice the bend at my knees and elbows not looking smooth. It seems there should be something I can do.

What skins would you recommend. I am using an expensive one. But am open to other ones too.

ty so much to everyone for your comments and for any more help you can give me!!
