The good, is me taking on a one time Blogger challenge, Which I thought came from Luna. But I can't find the post. Someone in the 52 weeks group did link me to a Flickr group though.
SL Blogger Challenge: Outside the Norm
The challenge? Wear something not like you normally do. I went all out and went tiny and not furry. Though admittedly the clothing is something I wear big and furry.
I chose to flutter about in the new Yabusaka Petite Fairy Mesh Avatar. Which is totally adorable and TINY. I loved being so small in a big world. And it was different seeing myself without the fur and tail. This avatar is hot right now. So many of my favorite designers are making stuff for it! I have on an Evie's outfit and a wasabi hair and a wings by the same lady that made my normal ones. Jen's just recently changed the name and I don’t remember the new one.
Anyway..here I am all tiny and cute! Posing with a cute chair that Evie made for the petites.

And to give you a better idea of how tiny..

Since you can pick everything up at one location, well except the wings. I'm giving a single Slur to the petite kingdom
I suppose I could have gone with colors at least that I don't normally wear, but HEY I figured, no fur, that’s a big enough change. Will I be keeping any part of this? Rather hard to. But I have left the chair out on my land for any petites that stop by.
I do want to find a place with lots of furniture and things and have fun playing around there in this. And I would LOVE it if any Fur creators made petite furs this size. That would be adorably fantastic.
Now for the not a nice. Because I have a Sad.
I am quite open to mesh as you can see. But I am REALLY hoping that hair designers do not all go to making just mesh hair. Because I would be screwed. I cannot wear mesh hair. Not wont ,because it would change my personal shape. Can't. Not unless I go human. So really the mesh hair trend affects all Furs not just me.
Why?
Because you cannot resize, modify or even MOVE where mesh hair is attached. Which sucks so much. I wish Linden had made it so you could and I don't fully understand why they made it so you can't. The not moving its attached point more than anything.
Even adjusting by resize script would work to allow me to wear mesh hair, especially if it’s that nifty one that lets you adjust prim by prim and location as well as size.
This is what happens if I wear well ANY hair right out of the box. But this time it is demos of Truths lovely new mesh hairs that I would LOVE to be able to wear but can't.
If Hair makers all go all mesh, I will be SO sad. Wasabi Pills is already pretty much all mesh as it is, and now Truth has started to make Mesh hair. I am just hoping creators will at least make both mesh and none mesh. Though I know I am a minority as a fur and the hair makers will go with what sells. And Mesh hairs are fabulous and selling. Which I why I wish I could wear them!
And in none related to mesh ramblings. I am ready for the next 52 weeks color post! I got it done ahead of time in case of dying again after this weekend’s trip to Muskogee for Ren Faire stuff. *boogies*. I'm excited about it as I will be introducing a new possibly permanent addition to my look. I say possibly as I'm still trying to decide if I want to keep it or not. But its nifty and I can't wait to show it off.
Your problem is not mesh: it's RIGGED mesh. Unrigged mesh can be resized just like any other prim, but rigged mesh has to be made in a very particular way that "welds" it to the avatar so it can move across multiple joints- and that process inherently makes it unsizable in any way. (There's no way to resize it because it doesn't even understand the concept of being resized, nor how to resize when it would have to do so across multiple bones and directions.)
ReplyDeleteSo, unfortunately, long hair will continue to have this issue :/ But you may be able to find short hair that isn't rigged! And people may be able to come up with clever solutions on a case by case basis, so while much mesh hair will always be a problem, it's not an entirely hopeless case.
There are actually two types of mesh accessories - rigged and non-rigged. Non-rigged meshes can be resized and repositioned like a normal prim or sculptie. In contrast, rigged meshes move with your avatar and cannot be repositioned. Rigged meshes are what make the Petites work with a normal AO. This also allows for hair creators to make long hair which doesn't bury itself in your torso as your head turns. The downside is that making a version for furry avatars would (potentially) require making a version for each major avatar, as the hair that works with one model may not work with another.
ReplyDeleteThank you both for the information. I had been under the assumption that the ability to resize and adjust placement of rigged mesh was just something Linden didn't bother to put in.
