Removing Alpha and Mesh at the same time.

[Danraka]

Hi. When I remove a mesh, a top for example, the mesh comes off first, then there is a delay and then the alpha comes off. Is there a way, or a HUD that can remove both of them at the same time ( At once) so you don't have invisible body parts for a while. You know, just so it looks better and smoother. I have a striptease HUD that removes clothing in order, but there is that delay with the alpha.  Thanks.

It always takes longer to remove an alpha than it does to take off a piece of mesh clothing because of the way the avatar "baking" system works. I'd suggest that you take the alpha off first. You can usually see bits of body peeking through which will tell you that your underlying avatar has updated, and then you can take off the mesh piece which usually happens very quickly.

OH...You know, with that striptease HUD I have, I can make a folder in the RLV folder for the HUD called...Shirt Alpha, and that is used before the Shirt Folder. It does do just what you say, takes off the Alpha before the Mesh but....lol...I wish it would happen at the same time. ( So, I just click real fast after the alpha is gone and it sort of looks right.) I though there might be another...work around for that...ok.

The new Maitreya body has the ability to "accept" the new auto alphas (turning off certain alpha slots in the body) and then turning them back on when you take off the garment.

 

I only have had ONE outfit that uses the new technology but it might be something you want to watch for the future. Assume if other bodies don't already have this feature -- they will.
