Susi Soothsayer

Hello...I would like help in finding a mesh or sculpted human body, including anatomy, bones, muscles, possibly. If it hasn't aleady been created (and what hasn't already been created on SL?) I would like to build it. I haven't seen anything on SLMP that is realistic enough aside from the various skeletons people make for Halloween, etc. Any idea where I would start in creating it myself? I don't have a 3d graphics program but can get one. Any help would be appreciated - I am a figure artist in RL so I think I could pick it up with some direction. Thank you... :womanhappy:Susi

Thank you, Masami. That was really helpful. I keep forgetting what a new frontier SL is - in terms of design and continuously evolving. I started SL 7 years ago and stayed for about a year and then left until a year ago. What a different place it was then..our avatars then seem crude now. But we were still ripe for creating and pushing the boundaries in every field. That sense of adventure is still here. So the geniuses of mesh are not lured by money, hmmm. Well, let them then be lured by the desire for perfection. And the desire to have fun in creation. You see, what I did not know is why the mesh would attach to a body part - like foot/leg in this instance - and yet be out of alignment with the avatar. If these were prim boots you would just edit them a teensy bit and then they'd be perfect. What I'm hearing is that it is the mesh object itself that is not quite right. If that's the case then wouldn't it be out of alignment on all avatars? I'll take your ideas to heart and be wary of future mesh purchases. All the best... Susi

Oh for goodness sakes...why so protective of Mesh? And so willing to attack someone simply stating their own opinion? 1. Shopper..I didn't claim to be smart ..I just claimed to spend money 2. Yes, wearing alpha. 3. No demo was available 4. Did not state all textures are bad. 5. Clearly mesh is complex and needs the bugs worked out of it. Anyone else have a friendly suggestion?

I have to say that I am tired of Mesh clothing. I don't think I'll buy another single item, I have nothing but trouble with it. And the designers can't seem to fix anything. The clothes are one-size-fits-all in a world where customization is the selling point. Many of the mesh clothing is really ugly..it has no natural flow or drape. The geni pants? Ugh. The big shirts? Ugh. So, I want to say at the outset that I am tired of having to cope with this hot new graphic item that has all the designers excited. For me..they are a fail, fail fail. And why should you care about my opinion? Because I am a SHOPPER. I have spent probably $1000 on avatar products and happy to spend more. I love cute new clothes and skins and makeups. I am your target audience...so, you should want to make me happy so I'll buy lots more, right? Here are the mesh boots that show skin - there is nothing I can do to edit the boots or the alpha, there is nothing I can do to change my avatar shape. The designer very kindly tried to explain things like "RenderVolumeLOD" blah blah blah...tried it. It failed. So would any mesh geniuses out there know how to fix this product? Please? And thank you for your time and attention to my little mesh-rant.
