Defects:

• Shoes look “weird” on CAS, in-game looks fine
• Too bright/dark colors look awful
• Potential clipping with floor and furniture also misalignment on animations, poses and interactions between sims
• Pants might clip around the ankle
• Clipping and bending behind the ankle depending on custom animation (normal simming is ok)
• 3D accessories that contain morphs, like necklaces, might deform shoes and feet

Notes:

• A “simple” design that allows a slightly bigger UV isle and that reduces texture blurring (kinda)
• Viper’s texture, specular, normalmap and mask were originated from a single 512x512 tiled image mixed with nodes, lamps and an environmental image; with all this I was able to add basic volume, shadows and highlights to the final result
• Originally I wanted to use one of the leather patterns from the game but the scales were barely visible, maybe it’s because Sims 3 uses 256x256 patterns
• Talking about patterns, you can mix them with the texture for interesting results, it just requires more work with the color wheel
• “Fun fact”: generating the textures took a lot more time than modeling the shoes…
• Compatible with the default body, MedBod and any other custom body mesh that follows the original leg seam
