xIITaylorIIx Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If I see another avatar wearing something I really like, is there a possibility to "find out" with some tool, 3rd party software or whatever, what the items are (without asking the person)?

Dillon Levenque Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Yes, and without any third party software, but why not just ask? Most people are only too happy to tell you where they got something and many are pleased that you asked. I know that on the rare times that has happened to me I'm somewhat flattered that another person thinks I made a good fashion choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done it recently with the advent of the v3 viewers so not sure if it's still an option, but we used to be able to click on an avatar, get the pie chart and click on "More" until an "Inspect" option came up that showed designers of various items the avatar was wearing. Of course, some people had the option checked so they knew when someone inspected them (or am I thinking of EQ...I might be confused there) and would get irritated. If I see something I like worn by another avatar, I just IM them, compliment <the item> and asked if they would mind telling me where they got it. I've never had someone say no; usually they are flattered. ETA: Dillon beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xIITaylorIIx Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Well, that's why I wrote without asking the person. Tried it 6 times today for over 2 hours in same room, avatar was moving around but got no answers. If there is another possibility, could you pls tell me?

Amethyst Jetaime Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Inspecting items only works for prim attachments. You can't use that method for system clothes.Not sure if it works for mesh either as i've never tried. It is hard enough clicking on mesh items I am wearing myself sometimes. If you were clicking on a prim attachment, you may not get a pie chart unless your viewer is set up that way, you may get a little square mini menu instead. While most people don't mind telling you where they got something, some do. They don't want to give the information out so their avatar remains as unique as possible. Its their right to refuse to answer and you should respect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melita Magic Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Aside from the above you might try taking their photo and then posting it here (in the fashion forum) or showing it to some fashionista friends. Also sometimes people put their favorite shops or designers in their picks or are in one of their groups. So, look in their profile for hints.

Rhys Goode Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I use the current FireStorm (4.4.2) and sometimes the current SL viewer (3.6.1). In FS, I choose not to use the old-style "pie menu", so in either viewer, if I right click on an object I get a very similar context menu. And I can choose "object profile" to get various details about that object. For either viewer, this works fine for prim attachements on other avatars - hair, skirts, shoes, etc. For FS, but not for the SL viewer, it also works for rigged mesh clothing. For system clothing, the only option is to ask the person wearing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot people don't pay attention to local chat and don't notice when someone starts talking to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwenting Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 especially in clubs where open chat is usually swamped with gesture spam by the hosts and DJs (and the various tipjars, sploders, greeter bots, and other scripted items begging for money).

I doubt we'll ever see that in the official viewer. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you know no one can find it on MP and buy it and the designer doesn't need money to keep making things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be kidding... no one in SL could possibly be so self centered. :matte-motes-wink-tongue: ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
