JustaTest Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Can someone explain to me what appliers are in regards to SL? Not sure if an applier is something specific or if it's a broad range of things that go over the mesh like tattoos, skin, clothes, body parts.

Theresa Tennyson Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 An applier is an object that "sends" a skin or clothing texture to a mesh body part, either to the part itself or one of a series of "layers" floating just above that body part. This allows person A to apply a texture made by person B to a mesh made by person C without any of the parties having full permissions over the other people's work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustaTest Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Oh interesting! How does that work though without needing to change permissions for the texture? Does it have to be at the very least no copy/no mod/ transfer? Ty for explaining by the way, I know I'm so far behind. LoL :catvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoL :catvery-happy: 1) Person C creates a mesh body part and issues a kit to allow third parties to make appliers for it. The appliers have a script that will "talk" to the body part. 2) Person B gets the applier kit and references one of their textures in an applier. I think they use the texture's UUID rather then having the actual texture in the item. The script in the applier will then apply this texture to Person C's mesh - person B doesn't need to see the script details, and person C doesn't need to see the texture information. 3) Person A buys the mesh body part from Person C and then gets an applier from Person B to add clothing, a tattoo, etc. Person A will then click on the applier which will send the referenced texture to the body part without Person A knowing any of the details of how the process works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaitlinCornsilk Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Showing my ignorance and noobness here, but how do you know where to get the applier from? Is it a case of shopping for those too? Sorry if that's a stupid question. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
