BG Solarian. Need help with mesh.

[xBabylonTheGreatx]

Yet another forum of me asking for help with stuff even though I've been playing for 3-4 years ._. ...

On my last forums I asked about Mesh bodies, clothes and avis. Sadly this is about all 3.

I recently got a Blue Galaxy Solarian, if you aren't familiar it is a COMPLETELY MESH avatar by the creators of Blue Galaxy, it is a furry and furries is all they make. I have been to the main store, and marketplace stores. What I've discovered is that by using the alpha HUD you can fit your old avatars clothes onto the Solarian, that is if it doesn't attach to the invisible avatar that you cover using the full body alpha that is provided in the box with the Solarian. I got a job at a furry club, Pawsh. So a night or 2 working 2-4 SL hours I can raise about 300-600L. I get paid purely from tips only though. Anyway. Not many stores sell Solarian stuff, as said above I've been to a number of places and sites. Most things are over 100L, which i can get, but still seems a little much. I understand that it's specifically for the BG Solarian and that is why it's that much, but some nights I only make 100-200L, that is if that one Patron comes in and tips everyone 200L like she always does, she tips then leaves. I don't even have time to render her avi. Point being, I was wondering if anybody has any places I can check out for clothes? Marketplace or In-world stores works, any links to even a Pintrest article will work. It's either this or learning to make mesh clothes myself, and I know that is a long process and will probably cost more than just buying them. If you know any people that specially make them, I'd take that advice too. Thanks in advance ♥♥. 

-Edit: There was a shape that came with the box that had the Solarian in it, it was in the notecard that usually comes with most purchases. It's called 'Solarian Curvy', I don't know if that would be useful information. And I haven't tried messing with the sliders so it's the same shape that was provided in the notecard. 

Below is my Solarian

I can't reallty help  with clothes to fit your avi but you do know 100L  is only about 40 cents?  I wouldn't call that a little much for the work a creator puts into creating an outfit especially when you are looking for an outfit to fit an avatar body outside of the normal popular range of bodies. 

I would advise you continue to search the MP and make the use of demos to rest on your avatar before making any extravagant purchases.

I have been making clothing in SL for 12 years, since before the invent of mesh clothing even..  I had to adapt to the changing trends with all the mesh bodies that started coming out, and since I have not yet mastered making my own mesh, I have to use templates that I purchase in order to continue making clothing, and trust me they cost well over 100L some of them in the 1000L mark or even double that for some.   So when I put in 8 to 10 hrs of work to texture and make demos,  I can't see putting items out for sale under 100L.   I am also limited to which mesh bodies I can make for depending on which ones the original mesh maker has provided.  So there are going to be some bodies out there that I cannot make for.   And I think a lot of clothes makers only do the most popular mesh bodies.  If you were to find someone to make clothes for you specifically for Solarian body I can assure you it will cost you way more than the 100L you are now feeling is too high.  You say you make about 200 to 300 L for two hours work in SL..  if creators of clothing charged for each hour of work they put into any clothing item, the public would be looking at 1000L at the very least for each item.  Just something to think about..

You just may be working at the wrong club, too.  I gave up dancing over 7 years ago, but even then I was averaging L$1000 to L$1200 a night in tips, with some nights way higher than that.  It sounds like your club is friendly, but has lousy tippers.

It's not that it's "too high", when I say that I mean the already made stuff, from the mainstore. And I do get that it takes that amount of time, and I didn't really ask for anything under 100L, I knew it would cost about that much regardless. I was just wondering if anyone knew any stores marketplace or in-world that sell Solarian. And yes, demos really are an important thing lol. I would buy L but if I could I wouldn't have this job, just saying. And yeah I went to a place in-world that charged at least 1,000L for each hour, but shes really good at what she does, I'd pay it if I had it.

Yeahh.. Some people don't tip as much. Each person that tips, tips like 100-200L. And that's if you have sex appeal. I got all these things for my avi, I convinced my friend to apply for the job and she makes 1,000L in the first 2-3 days she works there. She has a Kemono though. Maybe it's cause shes just so cute, but I have more sex appeal than actual cuteness. Being furries I guess the cuteness factor is important. And not many people come to the club at all, it's kind of laggy to some people, and others complain about mess ups in the music. But overall it's a great club, there's a gaming room, escorts, private rooms that are free to rent. It's just not many people come. And the people that do come mainly spend time talking with people rather than tipping the dancers, DJs and hosts.

I've noticed, a time or two, that people have been confused over the two different Blue Galaxy mesh figures, but it looks as though you're talking about the "Solarian Feline" rather than the older "Blue Galaxian"

There are a few clothing items available for free, and some stuff that you can get completely outside SL, as an uploadable mesh and texture files. It's quite common to be able to at least be able to change the textures. There was something wrong with the main authorised download source, you need to ask in the in-world group to get the current source.

I do use a few generic mesh clothes. Depending on the shape you're using, there are some which fit the Solarian Feline well enough that only a few body sections need to be turned invisible. There is some rigged-mesh hair that works well, but I've had some odd things happening with hair that is described as Bento-rigged. Check with a demo.

I set up a Bento tail for the Solarian Feline, works well.

Yes, the Solarian Feline. The older one was too small for my liking XD.. But yeah, the shape makes it difficult to find clothes. I have not yet to find any free stuff? I know Pintrest has things from SL but I haven't checked about the Solarian, I figured since it's fairly new, not a lot of people would be talking about it. It was either the Solarian or a Kemono and the Solarian is 800L while the basic Utilizator Kemono is 900L, not to mention the Linden I would need to spend on the clothes after I buy the Kemono, I'd need parts like a head and I believe other parts to mash onto it to make it look nice. But the Kemono stuff (Clothes and accessories) seem to be more inexpensive than the Solarian stuff. Even the mods are less Linden. I found a Kemono mod for under 10L and almost had a heart attack. Though the stuff on the marketplace store Vixen has more expensive stuff (adult stuff such as toys, gags, etc..), and they also have clothes for it. I thought getting the Solarian would be easier but I was sooo wrong. I should have just saved and got the head and the parts I needed one by one until it was finished. The hair thing isn't a problem for me because I have hair that isn't rigged and when I attach it to the skull it just fits perfectly without adjustments being needed.
