   Hey there ! Thanks for the blog its perfect, love the tutorials and love the fact that you dont turn any post unanswered.

   So !!!! here is my share of questions.

   I have come to know about another programme " makehuman" which helps us make perfect human body parts and allows us to export them in blender as .obj files. I have exported that file into blender and it turned out alright, now what i thought was that it will be easy to bake it in blender and export to secondlife but i cant get to do that, i have imported it as .obj file in blender, and when it dint work i also imported it as secondlife sculptie .obj. but i dont know, i cant get to bake it. im very new it this so please guide me how can i bake an external. obj file mesh.

   i hope i have said and explained what i wanted to ask.. please reply.

   Amber.

   MakeHuman is built for creating regular 3D meshes, and currently Second Life still doesn't have support for regular meshes. Sculpties were a huge step forward, but you can't make a sculptie out of just any ordinary mesh, unfortunately.

   Mesh support is on the way, though. I'd recommend reading information on both SL Sculpties and the up coming mesh support, as I'm sure even SL's mesh support will have some limitations.

   They're making the feet with sculpties, like anyone else. Blender will work for that. There are other programs, but you should get familiar with sculptie-making and the features and limitations associated with them.

   Also, if you have one of those feet handy, try taking it apart and analyzing it. Or at least give it a good look-over if it's no-modify. See if the creator used multiple sculpts and where they put their seams.

   yes i have been doing it for a long time but it seems pretty difficult to just make a body part on its own.. i have seen people making full bodies with the help of pictures, i have been digging into blender video tutorials on you tube which are very helpful. but do u think the " modeling with outline" feature can help me in this context? So, atleast we have a basic shape to temper with???

   i do see some awesome boots in pictures of your tutorials, so is it that have you urself created some boots or shoes alongwith feet?

   PS: by the way im not at all a blogger so i have no idea how to put a picture in a post like this. So if a little help there is possible i would be obliged.

   Umm. I've sculpted shoes and I've sculpted feet, but never both together. And I can't say that my sculpted feet were amazing either.

   It's hard knowing the best advice to give you without knowing exactly what you're having trouble with. What sorts of things have you sculpted in the past, and how is this more challenging to you?

   Also, for pictures, you'll have to upload them to a site like imageshack or photobucket and then use the URL or IMG tags to attach it to your post.

   You say you've been "doing this for a long time". What have you sculpted before, and how is this more difficult for you? It's hard to give you advice when I'm not sure exactly what you're struggling with.

   Like... if you're not sure how to make the shape of a foot, I'd suggest looking at your own feet and trying to imaging how edge loops would form your feet. Maybe even draw lines around your feet with a pen.
