    TMP Legacy mesh body

    Ok I did new tests with LOD since obviously I wore clothes in the first image:

    Lod 2 and 3, anything beyond those zoom settings will make body vanish, I don't think this is a big issue tbh.

    Regarding the bolded bit: Are they admitting bad LOD?

    I think there has to be somekind of miscommunication going on I have LOD 3 and my body does not vanish no matter how far I zoom out.

    Actually, the Lab made BoM available. There is no Linden pressure to use it. So, this use or not-use is up to each designer.

    Any pressure will be from users. I for one will switch to the Slink version of my body as soon as Firestorm updates their viewer. The ACI is a little lower with the BoM version of the body but, the script load reduces by a huge 2MB, getting my typical outfit's 3.5MB to 4.2MB down under 3MB. I suspect others will clamour for better ACI and script weights.

    So, the marketplace's free market dynamics may push TMP to provide it.

    Legacy already supports BOM. https://www.meshbody.com/updates/

    Hmm I see well time will tell what happens, then again it's Second Life nothings for certain, we have to live in the moment. The alpha tearing issue is being investigated and tbh all mesh gets these tears the higher you go including clothes but it needs to be fixed atleast at ground level. I don't have a neck issue at all head fits perfectly but I have a skin both for my lelutka head and legacy body (StrayDog), if you use the included skins for the body and another skin for the head there will be obvious issues.

    TMP never cared about what their customers said, but since LL want BoM, TMP have to provide it?

    Internet is a dangerous thing, it quickly becomes he said and she said something when at closer inspection it might not have gone down that way at all, then rumors become facts. They have been very active in the inworld groups like the Livehelp group, so I dunno my image of TMP is exactly the opposite of yours. Of course I have read the past experiences that likely you had and others but I wasn't there so I don't know how much of this is true or not or what the underlying causes of the problems actually were, not saying anyone is lying here, but it's very easy to blame the big bad corporation.  And often this comes down to the corporation doing a bad job communicating reasons for the state of things and then customers "fill in" this information themselves through speculation and conjecture and that's just how we humans operate I guess. All I know is TMP or The Shops or whatever they want to be known as now are doing a good job on the communication front atleast and updates are flowing fairly well, but time will tell if this is lasting or not.

    ...I don't even know what Legacy plans to do about BOM considering how rigid they are with doing things "their own way" aka.. hell.

    They did a test with BOM the other day so I would say it will come sooner rather than later. :)

    The Cool VL Viewer already supports bake on mesh (and has been supporting it for over a year already), and the current sources for the viewer can as well be compiled with the new Universal tattoo layer support. The next release (to be published on next Saturday) will have the universal layer support compiled in.

    Cool VL Viewer is the best, I have been using it since I can't even remember but probably around a few days after the "new" official viewer came out. :)

    Bowing out here as well and I would like to apologize to Matty for derailing his thread, my original comment was more aimed at making Matty stay in Bellisseria because he is so awesome. :P

    I wish I had taken photos at the time. @Quartz Mole inspected the house, and it (at least the exterior) was correctly aligned. The visible problem that developed wasn't subtle as you describe. I had the wall covers installed in the Winchester, nicely aligned and looking good, until one day they were not. And it was not just a wee gap or a subtle flicker. This was like the alignment had gone so wrong that half of each wall (or even entire walls) was no longer covered, with large amounts of flickering going on.

    Ultimately, after a few days, I was able to get the covers back in alignment with the walls again. Soon after that, the same issue happened: massive misalignment, apparently spontaneous and of unknown origin. The wall covers had been locked the entire time so had not been manually moved. So.... since others have noticed misalignment of the interior walls themselves, that seems the likely cause: something about the Winchester model itself is not "right".

    Or it was an unique event that only happened to a few people or more, otherwise one would think it should happen to everyone with a Winchester but it's doesnt.

    Mine stayed in place at first, for a while. I hope yours never move, but just be aware that this was not an immediate problem for me, either. Her add ons for the Adams have worked fine so far, so I really do think its a "house" issue and not a "wall cover" issue.

    I have had mine up since 28th of May and they are still perfectly in place so there is clearly something else going on here and it's likely the house that's moving somehow for some people.

    Signature Gianni and Belleza Jake are still pretty popular, why drop one just to have legacy. It kinda gives you a choice, do I spend 1000s of L on getting a new body skin and shape, or do I just not shop at that store? And for some people who really like that creator, they tend to spend the 1000s of Ls, instead of going to find another company they may like.

     

    It's possible that some creators have seen a decline and if they convert their entire line to this new body (mostly tattoos for obvious reasons) then they will stand to make quite a bit of cash fast. But to drop the other bodies, that's just strange since they already have the rigging tools and are familiar with the body. I mean just because I have a Legacy body doesn't mean I don't want a Jake or Gianni user to have the same clothes.

    So if these add on wall helpers are problematic I am just wondering why there are ten five star reviews and ONLY ten five star reviews, and yes, that is expensive :D. It would be good to let potential buyers -- AND the maker of the walls -- know there are issues. IF there is something the creator can fix and update I suspect they would like to know (hoping anyway). 

     

    Remember that these houses -- as stated by Patch -- have always been meant to be "starter homes". Some folks have turned them into "retirement homes" and that works too :D.   But the WERE designed in part so that add-ons could be made.  Sorry you ended up with a product you couldn't use. 

    Yes Xia Xevious the creator is very friendly and approachable and she would no doubt want to hear about this, in fact I'm going to show her this thread. :)

    I think what he is getting at, is why are they dropping support in general. It just means that men lose more and more of their favourite creators, or have to switch their bodies over to Legacy. It makes no sense to me, why a creator drops one of their popular bodies they design for, for another popular body.

     

    That makes no sense yep, one would think a creator would want to sell as much clothes as possible.

    I don't understand why so many male clothing designers are dropping support for other bodies and adding support for the Legacy brand.  Surely the body can't have that much market penetration. Do the morphs make it just stupidly easy to weight for Legacy or something?

    As a male you dont even have to use deformers since Gianni clothes fit almost perfectly and obviously this is both because many male clothes cover the entire body and that shapewise the legacy body and Gianni body are similar.

    I see your point, but in the case of walls, I agree with @Matty Luminos that it shouldn't be necessary. I happen to have the same add-on walls that you mentioned, and yes, they are lovely, but they are also difficult to work with. I found that in the Winchester, they did not stay aligned properly, and neither I nor a Mole who took a look could figure out why, so I finally gave up and tossed them back into my inventory (which is a shame because they are not inexpensive).

    It would be much nicer to have more options built into the walls themselves if fitting cover-up walls is such a persnickety job. 

    Hmm that's odd mine has stayed in place or atleast I think it has only problem is the values I have written down are for the entire rezzer, when its done it divides itself up into the individual rooms. I checked very carefully and it looks as perfect as when I first put it up, did your house move perhaps? Of course the house shouldn't move but I know someone else mentioned a while back that their house had moved slightly.

    yes it's nice that people have made stuff like this, but it shouldn't be necessary.

    Well look on the bright side it gave someone a chance to create something and sell, this is also how SL has always worked provide basic "something" then let users make the missing parts desired. Also if LL made the perfect world there would be no need for creators and hence we would all have to pay alot more for land and free membership would likely not even exist. To me it doesn't matter who makes it I'm only interested in if I can get a certain experience or not, but as it stands with what I just said I actually believe it's best exactly like it is so the economy works and since SL is still here after 16 years and apparantly doing rather well LL is doing something right after all. :)

    I think the biggest flaw with the traditional houses is not being able to change the colours of the rooms individually. With the houseboats it doesn't matter so much as they are open-plan.

    You can change the colors of each wall in all the rooms with this little gem https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/GIVORIA-LH-Winchester-Paint-Walls-Mod-Version/17355685 :)
