Shoe Creation...Help Please!

[nappyme]

Hi all....Ecspecially you shoe meshers out there. How do you go about creating a shoe. I know Al has a bunch that can be attached, but I would like to try for myself. I'm using MS3d. Is it possible to create a shoe from a background photo in MS? If so how? And yes I have meshed before, it's just this is one thing that's really nagging me. I'm not going to be satisfied until I create my first shoe....So ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated (sp?) Thanks!!!

yup, right click in a viewport and choose use background image
you have to fiddle a bit with the scaling and offset



If you finally found out, you definatly can use this tutorial by DR Pixel, it about uvmapping your new shoe.

Morning all, it's me yet again with another question. I'm about finished with my shoes. I know the size for the adult model uses...1.064 or something like that. My question is will scaling the shoe to adult size take care of the width of the shoe? (2nd question) How do I go about attaching a foot? It seem everytime I try to import a model it becomes really really tiny. Thanks in advance!!!

scaling from teen to adult or vice versa is done with the scaling options set to Origin not Center of mass.
Scaling all axis ar the same time will give you the correct heigth/width and length.

I have no clue wat you mean by the 2nd question.......
