Hello ladies and connoisseurs of feet

I got my sculpts late last night and spent some time playing with the toes

As I had mentioned, I am going to beta this product and the beta will last for the month of December as I have travel plans and I am sure you will too.

I look to hand out the prototypes on Sunday. This message will also post to the Exchange.

Focus of the Beta:

I am going to hand out pairs of my feet/shoes to 10-15 female participants and create panel of testers. I look for you to provide me with feedback and tips to try and make this product better. In exchange, you get feets You also get new styles as they become available. I will more than likely pass out two styles initially. One is an angled foot with wedge attached and the other is a more flat version of the foot. That is to be determined over the weekend. Initially, I will keep it simple and create some flip flops.

My area of concern is skin matching. Because of the way light interacts with avatars and prims, there is always going to be a difference although through the manual color change spectrum, I have managed to get a really close match.

The shoes will come with a color/texture change HUD which will control the the textures applied to the foot or nails(yes you can change nail color) and tint individually.

Who i need on the panel -- I am looking for a mix of ladies from creators to consumers to represent a dichotomy of the SL market. Creators, texture artists,clothing designers, shoppers -- the whole gambit.

Profile me inworld and go to Shoe Fly Shoes located on the Sofa King Campus in Tentacle. On the first floor, you will find a formtec application taker where I put in a few questions just so I make a list of applicants. Those of you whom have shown interest initially are already shoe-ins(hahaha I kill me)but please make it a point to drop by. My brain needs all the help it can get.

One last thing -- one of the questions asks you how you can help me make the product better -- please just jot down a couple of your SL talents - ie textures, scripting etc -- And don't be afraid to put shopper!!!

Look forward to your participation CC
