I love the shape of some of the shoes in SL, like those at Maitreya, Bax, and 69. They use a sculpted foot shape that's a lot sexier than basic prims can look.

Can somebody point me to, or make me, a full-perm version so I can start making awesome shoes for my outfits?

THANKS!

Thanks Sylvia! I was looking for something a little sexier... I found this:
http://www.slexchange.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=508838

...which has a really hot shape but it's L$2500 and not the sculptie map, and would go out as someone else's creation. I also found some sculptie tools in my searches, and I'm thinking that with these slim pickins', I might just be better off trying to reinvent the wheel (shoe)...

I found a set of sculpt maps that are made by tenM (I don't remember if it is tenm or 10m) they are pricey but you get the actual map

I made these shoes using the sculpt maps (not in world to double check the spelling)

http://www.slexchange.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=599352

I did my own texture for them (not sculpt texture, the texture texture) and added the other details and the strap across the front

if I remember correctly the sculpt maps are like 3000 or 3500L

ahh it is TenM
(see one of their ads on the "what others have purchased" section of the one you linked hehe)

Rhaorth -- how are ya.

Have you had any issues with those sculpt maps? I know quite a few people that bought them, including myself and they had breaks/gaps in the shoe after the map was applied. I tried every way possible trying to use those with no luck. So, I took mine out to Blender and fixed them all myself. Then I went a little nuts and made a platform sole and a new heel heehee. Call it a learning experience on my part -- customer service absolutely SUCKED too. This guy not only said that everyone was bitching about it but in the next sentence said we were all crazy.

cheers

The actual upper has a break in it. There's a big gap in them. And, I have met a few others that have experienced the same issue. Luckily, I can brute force my way through Blender and was able to fix them. The actual maps are a mess by my standards considering I work with a very talented 3d artist from time to time. I also made my own platform and heel so basically, Mine are just a very vague resemblance of the originals.

I would advise caution when purchasing full permission sculpt maps on SL Exchange a lot of these are stolen designs being sold on...Anyone who can create a great sculpted shoe has no reason to want to sell their work full perms. I have no idea if there are any valid honest outlets for this kinda thing or not but again please be aware.

did not see any gaps in mine... very strange

did you buy your from 10m?
if not then they might be ripped off ones thus causing the game from bad rips.

I sell a ton of full permission shoes. But, they are all custom made for each customer, and they are a lot more expensive than 3k.

Stop by Fashionetics in the sim of Ambulyx . I have on hand my new line of sculpted shoe machines . They will build and assemble the shoe for you . All you have to do is link and texture them .
