N-Core - SHARK

Deirdre:
Some fancy sandals with prim toes from N-Core, these are the Shark model, maybe named for the cool rows of tiny spikes - they look like shark's teeth to me.

The heel is wicked, like the rest of the N-Core shoes, and the prim work is astonishingly good.

(A quick note : we get a prim display bug when zooming in, so there are no missing spikes or bits of chain - it's just our "camera". Linden Labs is doing their best, Linden Labs is doing their best...)

When you visit the store, make sure to stop at the counter in the shoe section (at your right when facing in) and pick up the freebie gifts.

You'll have to join the group to get them, but getting notices about excellent shoes and boots isn't a fate worse than death.

There are more on the second floor : freebies, dollarbies, and cheapies. Someone at N-Core clearly understands SL marketing ;)

lelo:
I really like the way they hide your foot and replace it with a full prim foot/shoe, even if it's a bit prim heavy (200 prims per shoe).

The menu on these is even more impressive than the one in the Stylus shoes.

You can control the color of the most parts of the shoes, including the heel, sole, and the shoe itself.

You get 8 colors for the shoes, two blues, yellow, white, orange, pink, black and the red shown here.

The accessories, like the ring, ankle chain and spikes can be turned off and on and you can change their color.

The skin color can be changed with the HUD but once again in my case the preset worked fine.

The HUD has been improved giving you quick access to all the shoe options.

N-Core : Stylus Platform Xtreme Heel Black

Deirdre:
lelo spotted someone wearing those great shoes at Bondage Ranch, and we just had to drop in to N-Core to see them.

A classic fifties shape to the foot, and a very well-made platform make these shoes a delight to the eye.

You totally picture Betty Page wearing them.

The prim work is excellent, the texture has shine just in the right places, and I love the ankle strap.

Service was excellent, and the store is clean and easy to navigate. The huge stairs in the middle are fun.

Shoes are in the little annex building in back... you can just walk straight ahead at the main entrance.


lelo:
I adore these shoes, loved them the moment i saw them, and they come pretty close to my beloved ballet-boots with the heel height.

They look so uncomfortable, it's to die for. *winks*

After i had stopped drooling over them i found the menu in the right shoe, which gives you amazing control over the shoes.

You can easily adjust the skin color, there is a color hud but the preprogramed colors work fine.. for me.. *smiles*

You can change the color of the inside heel and shoe sole, the ankle strap buckle and if you want diamonds on the ankle strap.

Size is also controlled by the menu, as is the heel sound.. by the way did it tell you i really like these shoes?? *winks*

They come in quite a few colors so you can match them to all your outfits.


A small but very useful bit of advice from N-core:

Make your prims visible from longer distances!

1. Press ctrl+alt+shift+D to open an ADVANCED menu options
2. Go to ADVANCED >> DEBUG SETTINGS
3. In opened window choose "RenderVolumeLODFactor" and set value to 4
4. Close window and enjoy right looking sculpted prims from any distance
