Shop (store) ideas that won't fly
Pixieplumb Flanagan replied to Raspberry Crystal's topic in General Discussion Forum
Or maybe a time travel shop called Come Back Yesterday? -
I looked at the demo for these on marketplace here: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/CREATIVE-SCANDAL-264-SOCKS-DEMO/25648598 and it's not possible to detach the foot part. However, you could rework the textures in PS or Gimp by adding an alpha channel to render the foot part invisible. It's a lot of work and expense though, so BOM socks are likely the easier way to go.

Seems it's resolved now.

I remember a Lessbeef Morpork. Nice chap. And Immy (Imnotgoing Sideways) of course; she was lovely. -

Hello fellow forum users Free account here, because, really I don't need the group spaces, land allowances, slightly (let's be honest) dubious 'special' gifts, rinky dink houses - so cute, but I just don't need one, or stipend - bless!! LL make a nice little packet out of me, in marketplace sales commissions and cash out fees. Because even though this has been my actual full time job for (checks notes, blanches, swallows) 15 years, like any business I don't spend money I don't have to. I rent my inworld store from a lovely landowner who gives me no grief whatsoever, and whom I sincerely hope is also cashing out with pocket jangling regularity. Despite being very reasonably priced xxx Soo, no, we don't need a special rich kids of SL enclave. If you're so loaded you don't know what to do with it all, why not have a hot shower and rip up fivers. peace out.

Palomma Casanova has passed.
Pixieplumb Flanagan replied to Pixieplumb Flanagan's topic in General Discussion Forum
My informant was Dollen McMillan, so this would possibly be the first person to contact. Thank you xxx -
I was sad to hear today that Palomma Casanova of the Free Dove has passed. I'm very sad, but she is beyond suffering now, which is a blessing, as was counting her a friend throughout my time here. Her hard work and generosity were remarkable, and SL will be the poorer without her.

It couldn't, although mesh with different faces could selectively hide by face, but typically a pant leg will have just one face. There is also a limit to how many faces each mesh can have. And yes, you're right, it still wouldn't fix all clipping. I guess it's all part of the fun of shopping in world! Of course, if you buy a complete outfit in world it absolutely should all work together in all combinations.

There would need to be separate textures for each colour of each item with graduated alpha'd areas. Each variant would be a separate texture upload. It's just not practical currently as mesh is. There's a whole other issue of alpha channels on mesh items that causes issues as well. With the alpha cuts on mesh bodies it's a much simpler process with an on/off for each cut. Even so, at times you can have awkward situations when the cuts don't perfectly match the clothes worn.

That would vastly exceed LL's desired remit. They 'could', but in reality they won't. They really don't police the grid much at all, and truly would not care about something like this. This would require all creators to come together, to make many many multiples of every item, say a pair of flared jeans would need a 'tucked in' version to work with boots that go over, and possibly an extra wide version for boots that go under. Mesh just doesn't 'suck in' or stretch over other mesh - it's not dynamic like that. Whilst it would be lovely if this were a thing, it's not. Perhaps one day it will be. Even then, it's a huge ask for every single item to work with everything else. Also, how is a mesh sweater supposed to know whether it should tuck in or go over a pair of jeans?! I think there used to be, back in the early years, something of the sort. How to open boxes and carry stuff, etc. If LL could see a benefit from this, they would do it. I guess some new sign ups decided it was too much of a drag, so they skipped. SL is for most people a game, an escape. They don't want to be hassled about stuff, and rude people could complete the course, bugger off and be rude anyway!
