crazytaffy Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone! First time posting here and I have an issue. So I got a skin for my Maitreya body and the issue is that any skin I really use, I always have white feet. No matter if I have BOM on or not. I'm not sure what's causing it. I couldn't find any posts about this but do let me know if there are with the similar situation! Edited March 25, 2021 by crazytaffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollymews Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 this can be caused by wearing system shoes which are white by default. If so then a way is to Edit the system shoes and apply an alpha texture to them can use: Inventory \ Library \ Textures \ *Default Transparent Texture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I think @Mollymewsis right. But if you don't want to find out how to edit the system shoe, you can delete it and make a copy of it from another set that has the same foot height. Sometimes it is not possible to edit also, when the item is no modify. The "system shoe" was not meant to be seen when mesh bodies covered all of our body. When BoM is used now, such ooops moments happen when creators never thought it would be visible again. The system shoe is only used for hoover height. It has a brown symbol that's often included when you buy shoes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I actually put on a shoe base the other day that turned my feet white. Could check that also. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwyneira Evergreen Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 It's your shoe base, go into your worn tab in your inventory right click edit you'll see where it has a white texture click on that and select transparent. save - and no more white feet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shoe base I had was the object one that increased your height. It may be the same thing but different icon and terminology.

That is one of the functions, but just like the 'hair bases', it's one object with several functions, the height slider is just one of them much like how the hair base (which contains your avatar's 'actual' hair, which is most often alpha'd out and shrunk into a small ball inside of the head) has sliders that change your brow's shape (which has led to it sometimes being called 'brow shaper' instead). There are in fact two sliders that affect your avatar's offset from the ground, Heel Height and Platform Height: ... Platform height is further down, couldn't fit both into the screen - but there you can also see some of the other options that were (are) available. The icon is still a shoe, in Firestorm at least: Much like a the system hair, the texture can be an alpha - but in the pre-BoM period, people didn't take that into account as the shoe texture wasn't visible on your mesh avatar anyway. Thus, a lot of 'shoe bases' included with shoes (primarily heels, for the height offset) will turn your feet white, which is the default colour when you make a new system shoe.

My only point was they may not be looking for a shoe icon but an object called shoe base. N-Core, for example, always uses an object. That was what turned my feet white. Not the shoe icon. Never had that issue before either. Edited March 25, 2021 by Rowan Amore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why those would turn anyone's feet white though, they're essentially a deformer that pushes your avi up in the air - I abhor them, as they offset your avatar from the camera lock. Whenever I try to zoom in to look at someone's avi and they got those on, I get a screen full of bosom instead of face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claireschen Hesten Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 It's a shoe base, before BoM became a thing, when mesh feet then bodies became popular and the system was such you never saw this on feet lots of footwear creators that included shoe bases got lazy and never put a transparent texture on the shoe base as no one would see the system foot underneath. now with BoM this issue crops up if modifiable you can right click > edit while wearing and set the fabric to a transparent texture 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazytaffy Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Thank you everyone for the responses! Yes it was the shoe base I just took it off and it went away! Thanks again! Edited March 25, 2021 by crazytaffy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chassie Rowley Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I dislike reviving a dead discussion, but I have the same problem. Only difference I am not wearing a shoe base. Looks like frost bite on feet. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Amore Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Older skins used as BOM often have this issue with feet and hands. I think Izzies sells a fix for this. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Izzies-BOM-Hands-Feet-Fix-for-Izzies-skintones/18404926 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chassie Rowley Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I believe I've found the problem. For a reason, my avatar didn't take the LAQ Next Level skin. I'll book the Izzies link just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
