Applying Belleza skin to Belleza (Jake) body

[Lascivar Darkstone]

I've returned to SL after a while away, I'd had experience with Mesh bodies in the past and applying skins and whatnot but recently I'd purchased the Belleza body which has turned out lovely, but upon purchasing Belleza Body Applier, the folder contains 3 skins and 3 tattoo layers without an applier object of any sort.

Am I missing something? Or is there a way to apply this to the Belleza HUD to be used?

Just as a sidenote: I've managed to make all outfits, tattoos, everything else work perfectly that all used appliers but this one is just confusing the hell out of me.

In the Belleza store, it is a "Relay for BoM" box where you buy the body itself.

I am not sure of the exact text on it. It is BoM or "Bakes on Mesh". Buy it for 0 L, it comes with instructions, I believe.

This relay let the layer body skin appear on the mesh body, instead of applying it.

BoM is the latest news and has mostly replaced appliers.

This blog has much information about BoM, select "Tutorials". https://virtualbloke.com/

You are a delight! Thank you so very much, I would've pulled my hair out trying to get this to work (Literally dragged the skin into the contents of the HUD even, lol!)

I make a separate reply because I have edited my post so much already: Appliers still work for Belleza and most bodies, but some creators has dropped the appliers totally.

It is when you can't find an applier in the folder, that you add the BoM relay so you can use the skin layer.

So appliers still work, it is only that the skin designer dropped to make them.

You are not alone!  I have NOT been away and still find BOM confusing though I have (somehow) managed it on occasion.

Why, though?
