Oldbie needing help with mesh

[Mackenzie Winchester]

Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone can give me the dummies guide (or point me to it) for MESH in Second Life. I'm an oldbie. Been in world since 2005, current AV is born in 2009 and took 4 years off recently and now I'm back.

Mesh confuses the heck out of me and I'm about to give up. Specifically, I bought the fancy feet (mesh) and a proper pair of shoes (made sure they were compatible) but if I'm wearing mesh pants, the mesh layer of the shoes makes my leg skin show. I would be happy to meet you in-world to show you what I mean.

Is there a guide for how to dress with mesh? I'm so confused.

The mesh feet you bought have ankles and it's likely this is showing through your pant leg, assuming the pants are also mesh. You just need bigger pants.

Thank you Pixieplumb, I had not thought of that!

Thank you tako, I am on my way to read that! Much appreciated.

Mesh is more complicated. But I think it is worth it, because the default feet is really ugly.

The demos is there because such things can happen, pants not made to fit over feet. In the old days, there was prim cuffs that could be resized and moved up and down to hide shoes or straps.
