Omega?

Ok, so I just learned about this late last year and I still have trouble figuring out exactly what this is and where can I get it? Is it a conversion system for appliers or just another azz? So confused about this. Thank you in advance.

Omega is the nearest thing SL has for a universal system for applying clothing to mesh body parts. As of right now, it is supported by almost all the current mesh bodies out, with the exception of Slink and The Mesh Project. This is a godsend for designers since now, they only have to make 3 appliers, Slink, TMP and Omega.

Look up Omega inworld or Love-N-Lust. That will take you to the inworld store. On the second floor, you'll see a room with all the mesh supported as well as the kits you need. The kits are 99L if you aren't in the group adn 1-3L if you are. Joining the group is well worth it since the owner is there as well as knowledgable designers that can help you.

Some parts, like any breast implant that uses tango appliers, work with Omega with nothing else needed. Some of the parts need you to rez them out and add a script to them so they can "hear" then Omega appliers. Some have the scripts in them, such as Banned and Belleza, that need a actibator that turns on the scripts. Maitreya uses a relay you wear. The Omega appliers talk to the relay, the relay talks to the body.

Think about it this way. Your defaul body is mesh...take a look at it on wireframe and you'll see. SL takes care of automatically applying the texture when you wear system clothes and will now let you wear up to 5 items on each layer, (Tat, underwear, shirt, jacket, underpants, pants, skirt). The current mesh is worn over the default body so you have to manually apply the textures with scripts. Mesh is limited in that you have to go old school, 1 item per layer and no  jacket or skirt layer and many don't have the tat layer. Same applies for your skin....on the default you wear it, on the mesh you have to apply it.

Hope that helps.

Thank you! I ended up finding the website and figuring it out.

Yea, TMP and SLink are terrible to most designers, it's not just me! Lol!

As a designer, Slink actually has the easiest system to make clothing for...at least for making the hud. But, at least for now, it remains a closed system.
