Tattoo layer over skin layer ? But there are no layers for mesh uv textures ?

[Mac Ayres]

Hi,

A mesh avatar can not use the layer system (skin, underware, clothes).

How do you simulate this ? Is an alpha (mask) channel doing the job or is this only useful to influence transparrency of the texture channel.

Perhaps a stupid question but I do not get the picture:matte-motes-frown:

Mesh avatars are usually onion skinned so thus have multiple layers and most of them follow the SL UV map.

 

Applier's are used to send the clothing layer texture to the appropriate layer.

There are also different appliers for the different bodies and heads and "parts". So that can be a LOT of appliers to get (sometimes buy) and set up. Some designers offer free appliers for creators. I know the Catwa head has one as I was looking on the marketplace yesterday. So you might get that just to look and see how it works.

 

"I" have no clue really. Not my area .
