Slink Feet for the novice

I have a friend who is still wearing the old ugly 2008 style system shoes.  She has a perfectly lovely avatar she just doesn't know how to wear any other kind of shoes.  So I bought a her pair of Slink feet and some shoes to go with.  She is still wearing the ugly old shoes. She told me she still hasn't figured out how to wear the ones I got for her.  So I started googling to see if I could find a nice how to blog for Slink feet. And I found nothing.  Even  went to Slink's official page and there is nothing for the beginner. 

I guess I will have to make one for her

So you open your feet and you get a folder with all of this:




what next?
well in order to wear the mesh feet you have to wear at least 3 things:
 

1)the alpha layer - makes your old system feet invisible - there are two alpha layers included, one that is just for the feet and one that is for both the hands and feet combined.  IF you don't have the hands, then it's easy just choose the feet alpha.

2)the system shoe - The system shoe doesn't seem very important but it is used to determine where the ground is.

3)the feet themselves - Then there are the feet themselves and they come in 5 sizes and you should choose the size that best fits your ankle.

so that is what you need to wear.  there are also various huds that do different things

The first one that you need to mess with only once if you only wear one skin or more often if you change your skins frequently is the Slink Omnihud V5 feet

for how to use this I direct you to the official Slink site: This hud will take you through the skin matching process, the nightmare that we all must survive in order to enjoy pretty feet.

then there is the basic nails hud which you use  - to choose your toe nail style and color

and the utility hud that you use whenever you want to wear stockings that come with appliers

Appliers  these are the wonderful aids that other designers make for you so that you can buy their products that work with the slink feet.  there are nail appliers and skin appliers and stocking appliers and the designers have done the hard part for you, all you have to do is wear the applier press a button and take the applier off and your skin will magically match the rest of you with no more effort on your part.
