Whoever programs shoes and feet, I would like to stick my RL foot in their RL butt.

My robotic utilitarian alt. is a plain black ball that only responds in chat with pre-programmed gestures I've fed into it! But it never does much, it rarely logs in, it's there for permissions testing and to sit on my groups as a safety net.

Yes being a bigger woman, a lot of the miniskirts disappear. like my butt swallowed them.
I am not about to give up my butt though!

I don't mind the system skirts. A girl should have a booty.

Ann HAS a booty...I just don't want a bustle.

What I want out of J's is for a scripter to team up with that person and figure out a way to set the coloring on one pair of toes and then export that setting and import it to another pair of toes. I am absolutely horrid at that type of fine tuning and always have to go to friends for help.

im not so fond of programed shoes anyway.

in RL 10-11 would be gargantuan for a woman, regardless of heighth!

That should be very easy to do too though obviously it depends on who they have doing their scripting.
In fact the whole colouring procedure seems overly cumbersome to me. The color changer for the Xcite products is quicker and easier better as I recall. Though it has been a long while since I wore an Xcite body part.

The programming is only needed because you need to tint them to your skin color, without that the fleshy parts would look odd.
Other than that the shoes are fabulous because you get toes that look like real toes poking out of them.

I talked to the creator once - suggesting what I wished for. It sounded like the creator scripted it themself, commenting to me that they would not know how to do what I wanted as he/she was not a scripter.

So, I'm guessing the creator learned enough scripting to accomplish the toe color change, but doesn't know enough scripting to enhance the process. Not even sure if they would be open to paying a scripter to do the enhancement.

Ironic really, I could do the scripting I am sure but my artistry with scultpies leaves a lot to be desired, otherwise I would just make what I wanted too - a plain set of bare feet that look real.

Excuse me, I'm 5'7" and I wear a 9 1/2 or 10. My feet aren't dainty, but they aren't 'gargantuan' either.

size 10 feet are pretty normal for your height ann (at least seems to be normal for the women I have known in my lifetime)



I am a shorty, 5'2 and small feet (my RL feet pretty much match SL size 0 feet LOL)
(size 4.5 or 5 womens US sizes) or boys approx size 3ish...

yep.. small hehe

really? wow.

i'm 5'11" and i wear an 8.

$300L ($1US) is expensive? You obviously haven't spent much time shoe shopping, even as a mere male I could tell you that's cheap.

I'm 5'10" RL and have a size 10 foot and it is proportional to my height/body size.

Ahhh, so you're the odd one.

What I don't understand at all is why the shoe makers of SL decided on size 0 as the universal size, when this causes the lumpen ankle effect. If you increase the size of the avatar feet to 20 on the slider - which isn't huge by any means - then you lose that lump and get beautifully smooth feet and ankles.

It seems just daft that nearly every shoe maker and clothes maker is making leg warmers to cover up the defect, when making the shoe size itself 20 as standard wouldovercome the problem.

I'd like to see more shoe makers offering a size 20 shoe for those of us who can live with slightly bigger feet if it means we get smooth ankles. I can see that offering a lot of sizes isn't necessarily possible, but offering two? Should be doable, surely?

Actually, I think males have it worse than females for SL shoes. The choices are just so limited, and there is so much utter crap that it's all to easy for a male avatar's shoe budget to exceed that of a females and *still* end up unshod. (There are a couple darlings of the male fashion blogs that sell shoes I wouldn't inflict on my worst enemy.)

A plug for Calveen Klein's store: it sells mod perm male shoes. Not every possible style, but if you need passable dress shoes that you can actually fit to your feet, I honestly know of no other alternative short of becoming one's own cobbler (to which I've resorted out of desperation in the past).

Not sure about the sculpted feet thing. I played around a while back with prim toes, and it's difficult enough to match skin color in a range of lighting conditions, even when there's a convenient joint there to justify a different shade. If a similar color shift showed around the ankle, it would be Some Kind of Ugly.

I'd expect much the same problem with hybrid prim and system shoes, unless the designer creates their own shape discontinuity to justify the color shift between prim and avatar surface. But the idea is very practical. I'm thinking just a prim sole and well-executed texture shoes might look good and solve a ton of problems. If I can remember when I get back in-world, I'll try to find FD's shoes--texture shoes are scarce in my Inventory.

5'7", and I wear a 9 or 9 1/2, depending.

But if they are at least modify okay, you can use a tool like the KKF Resizer to make it smaller beyond the minimal size

Works really well and safed me already from throwing away some shoes and other modable, but officially not shrinkable stuff.

I make a lot of long dresses with system skirts. The trick is to bring the skirt width down to 0, no bustle, no poof etc... and close it all up. You get a choice of one silhouette, a sheath, but it's a nice modern silhouette, and yes, my avi has a "skirt butt" (also called a shelf or a portable sofa). She also has a paunch, but so do lots of real life ladies. What I like ahout the system skirt gowns I make is that they look like a real long dress (the kind I'd pick out for a "formal wear optional" party or a semi-formal) I'd buy in a store for myself, rather than a 19th century crinoline or princess gown or wedding dress.

If I want alternative silhouttes, I make tube dresses of various types. Sometimes my avi looks like she's wearing a barrel. Other times, the shoulder pads are huge. Someone called her a burrito. It would be nice to have more system options, but one makes due.

As for shoes, system shoes are fun to make and very practical. What is wrong with a pair of lovely ballet flats or loafers or oxfords. Avatarot dance all the time and such shoes are perfect for the dance floor, formal but practical and definitely attractive.

And my avi who has a heavily modified original city chic skin, has toes. The nails are not painted, but I noticed she has toes.

Great Book Qie.
