Scylla Rhiadra Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 @Ivanova Shostakovich, I should take this opportunity to thank you, too, for reintroducing me to what used to be perhaps my all-time favourite sim, AM Radio's The Faraway. Aside from its intrinsic beauty and artistic interest, it's a place that has a lot of personal resonance. (This is more accurately what I did yesterday, and so probably doesn't belong here. But whatevs, right?) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TatianaNikolay Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 So my best friend and I decided to buy a piece of land...but then the cliff disappeared and we could see a massive, tacky store. And there were 2 neighbors having a war next door so we moved again and and decided to rent (it ends up being cheaper than our monthly tier). Another friend came over to see our new land. Can't wait to post in the home and garden thread our updates. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Gregoire Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Apparently, I will be spending the rest of the day trying to figure out where I can buy a "classic avatar" skin that will blend in the neck area a little better with the mesh body (Lara) I plan to get at some point in the future and being frustrated to the point of almost being in tears. It's frustrating because I know many people don't use mesh heads and yet from what I have seen their "classic" skins blend perfectly with their mesh bodies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's frustrating because I know many people don't use mesh heads and yet from what I have seen their "classic" skins blend perfectly with their mesh bodies. 7 Deadly s{K}ins still has their classic skins upstairs and they blend well with the Lara body applier under most lighting - assuming you can find a shade that you like. You can get a demo of all the applier shades and see if you like any. That is what I'm currently using. I sometimes wear chokers though because under some lighting, the seam is visible. Other places that I've gotten classic skins from, but am not currently using (some blend better than others and it also depends on your shade preference): LAQ, Modish, Stix, Dulce Secrets, WoW, Genesis Lab. I feel your pain. I haven't gone to a mesh head yet - just not ready - and I hate skin shopping. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been there and LAQ as well as Glam Affair. A&E seem to have their own body now but I kind of have my heart set on the Lara since I have been familiar with and bought from Maitreya for years. I don't know. I may go back and get the A&E demo. Everything seems to be called an applier and I'm just so confused by what I have seen. I do get that they are called appliers because they "apply" the textures but nothing really tells me that this skin/applier for the "classic" will work with the Lara. If that makes sense. As I said, I'm confused. Hopefully I'll get it sorted out before I get completely discouraged and give up.

I do get that they are called appliers because they "apply" the textures but nothing really tells me that this skin/applier for the "classic" will work with the Lara. If that makes sense. Basically, the appliers work one of two ways. 1) They either say that they are Maitreya appliers and then they will apply directly to Lara with nothing extra. 2) Or they are Omega and in that case you have to go to the Omega store and buy the Omega relay -- something like L$50 if you join their group or double that if you don't. Some Omega relays only have to be worn and activated once, but the Maitreya Lara one has to actually be attached every time you use it. That same Omega applier will work with any other type of Omega body appliers - like for tattoos or special skin effects. You buy an applier for the body in the same 'tone' as the classic skin that will show on your head. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early in Spring 2017, I came back to SL after roughly 8 years of inactivity and had to learn all about mesh bodies and appliers. It does seem a bit overwhelming and quite frustrating at first -- well, for quite a while actually. But the more you play with it, the more comfortable you get.

I don't know what is going on. I have the Lara demo and all of a sudden this happened: Quote [17:11] Second Life: Maitreya Footwear & Accessory Server owned by Onyx LeShelle gave you 'Maitreya Mesh Body - Lara' ( Maitreya Isle (150,139,3050) ). It wasn't my other half. He had just logged in 3 minutes before that. Whoever did it... thank you so very much! You are a very kind and generous person whoever you are! I will reciprocate in kind for someone else in the future! ANd now I have to go before my dinner burns! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a change in skins some years back - I'm not sure exactly what the change was. However, 7 Deadly s{K}ins changed all their tones at that time and subsequently only made appliers to match the later tones, not the earlier ones (if memory serves correctly here). The skin I was wearing before I returned as from someone that is no longer in SL, so I had no choice but to go shopping. Even if A&E has their own body, they may still make skin appliers for other bodies, probably an Omega one. If they do, and if your current skin tone is still one that they carry, then they may have the applier you need. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) I popped over to A&E. They do have body appliers specific to Maitreya that come in tones EA, EB, EC, and ED -- right side after you pass through the entry area. They also have body appliers for Maitreya in tones T0, TA, TB, TC, TD, TE - left side after you pass through the entry area. If your classic skin is one of those tones, then you'll have a matching applier. If not, then you have two choices: Find a new classic skin w/ associated applier or pick the A&E tone that is closest to what you have and always wear a choker (not a great option).

How would I be able to tell what tone my skin is? About all I do know is that the "India" applier on the Maitreya HUD is the one that almost perfectly matches my A&E Sharisa Mocha skin. I'm at A&E right now looking at the ones on the left side of the entrance and I see now the Maitreya demo. It's starting to come together for me a bit but when I mouse over it says "Women's body appliers for Maitreya DEMO" and the next line says "For Maitreya Bento and non Bento heads". I'm not sure what that means. Is it for the body or the head? Or does it mean that it will work for the heads as well as the body? This is what confuses me. I know Sachi is trying to make it clear. It's not her fault it doesn't translate well for me. I'm just going to take the plunge and grab the demo, take it home and see what is what. If I need a new skin, it will have to wait until after I get a couple of paychecks. Or longer. In the meantime I have found some mesh group gift outfits that will get me through until then. Thank you so much for your help! You have no idea what it means to me. Between what you have told me and the gift of the Lara body I am close to tears. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Maitreya HUD you can fine tune the skin colour to get a pretty much perfect match to your current skin, I managed that with my then Skinthesis skin using the Arctic tone as the closest match when i first demoed body before eventually buying a Glam Affair skin in Arctic when they still sold system skins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then someone anonymously buying the Lara body for me shocked me so much that it didn't hit me until I read your post that I could likely do the same with the body.
