DeMarco Galthie Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Why SL has deviated far from its original path? Where did the freedom of establishment. Where nobody was caged to specific formats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Romano Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 There have always been formats that had to be adhered to, before mesh there was inworld editing only. That still exists, now we ALSO have the ability to edit in external tools and import. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMarco Galthie Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sorry, my English is not my native language, so it is difficult to be clear. I do not mean the technical part as mappings, file extensions or something. I mean the freedom to create without having to tow objects created by the formality stores. I am not against entrepreneurship but feel a depletion in the power of individual creation. I refer to the "do different" not "do the same".

anselm Hexicola Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Can you say " tow objects created by the formality stores" in a different way? For me, that does not translate very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabird7 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I don't understand what are the limitations. The last criticism against individualism I remember concerned universal mesh sizes. Since this is the creation forum I think you must be speaking of something else since the universal styles were to make fabrication for more people possible, not prevent deviation in creation. Just to speak on that note, I feel this, or any totally noramlizing trend (mesh feet perhaps) would not be as fantastic as 'doing your own thing'. I try to live IRL doing my own thing, but I think there will always be limitations to freedom from within ourselves, and also from society. Best thing I find is to do my best with whatever presents itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Romano Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I *think* it means "it's a shame that so many people use mesh templates such that all shops are effectively selling the same thing" but I could be wrong. Either way "SL" has not lost it's direction in that respect, it's case of supply and demand and skill set. If you want something different, make something different.

Nalates Urriah Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Are you talking about standard sizes? Anyone is free to make any thing. No one has to conform to standard sizing, most don't. SL hasn't moved away from creative freedom. Have you tried Google Translate to see if it givse you hints at the words you may want to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMarco Galthie Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yes, I use it. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMarco Galthie Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 I meant that the stores impose forms of body parts like feet, breasts and even the whole body. But do not condemn, they just use spaces left by LL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is that (unrigged) mesh clothing is stiff and inflexible and doesn't follow the avatar's body shape the way system clothing (which is simply a set of tecture layers) does. There was no way the clothes designers could make mesh that would fit everybody so they had no other option than to go for a few standardized shapes and sizes. Fortunately it seems fitted mesh fixes this, at least to some degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Romano Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The stores don't impose anything, they offer products for sale. It's up to the customer to choose whether they buy them or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
