Jacki Silverfall Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Does anyone know the name of those skirts that bounce and spring all over? They're like wearing a rubber band and I'd like to avoid them! Nothing worse then buying a dress only to find it bouncing out of control when you walk. Also I'm running into them more often./me hopes this isn't a new trend.:smileymad:Jacki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Silverspar Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 if the skirt has mod perms, you can change it's bounce factor - lower the softness settings and try adjusting the gravity and tension settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexi can be adjusted but the sculpts are anchored to an attachment point and may not always go with the flow:smileywink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I adore those springy skirts..especially when a designer has gone out of their way to ensure its a no knicker flasher..springy skirts make me smile:smileyhappy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Silverfall Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi Argus! I don't know what the difference is between Flexi, Prim and Sculpts (Skirts that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Silverfall Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi Faithless! Like you, I'm sure there are lot of people that like this look. It's just not for me and I'd like to avoid them before spending money on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's all a matter of how the designer has set the flexi parameters. I'd suggest that you do some experiments. Make a copy of one of your skirts (assuming that you have mod/copy perms), wear it, and hop up on a pose stand. Then select the skirt, and open the "Features" tab in Edit. Click the "Edit Linked Parts" box and choose one prim in your skirt. Then try changing the Drag and Tension parameters. Making them smaller will make the prim less bouncy and more flyaway. Repeat the operation with each prim in the skirt. Then hop off the pose stand and see what it looks like. Play with the skirt, changing various numbers until you get a combination you like, then remember what you did so that you can do the same thing next time you buy a skirt and want to shange its bounciness.

The skirts in question were Flexi and mod so Jacki will be changing the flexi features :smileywink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Silverfall Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 And it worked too! I don't want to think of the dresses that have been trashed on account I couldn't, or even didn't know they could have been fixed Thanks Argus & Rolig Still learning in SL Jacki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyra Blackthorne Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 @ Jacki the Flexi skirts have some measure of "limpness" to the and will blow as you walk as if in a breeze. How much they move depends on how flexi the maker created them Sculpts are often softly shaped with rounded edges and such but they have no limpness, a sculpt skirt might swing like a bell when walking but with not flutter in a breeze Prim skirt are hard - made of one or more prims...often you will see straight mini's made with a jacket or pant layer and then a prim panel to make the front of skit. - but not a flexi skirt is a usually a multi-prim skirt with the but each is turned soft Nonprim skirt just a skirt layer and usually you have to adjust your shape to wear them or look like a huge bubble butt Sooo, that least my explanation and probably as clear as mud!

squashy Beeswing Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I like springy skirts that bounce up in a saucy kinda way. :smileywink: What i really dislike are the very long skirts -- or gowns -- where the prims float off to one side, or drag along behind like a deceased parachute.

Rolig Loon Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 What a lovely simile! You've captured the image exactly, Squashy. "Like a deceased parachute ....... " :smileytongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
