What do I need to do to see system layers/BOM layers on my mesh body parts?įirst of all you need a viewer that supports BOM (for example the latest Official Viewer or Firestorm).
BOM makes it possible to wear those system layers on mesh body parts too, if they are BOM ready. All you need to do is wear/add a system layer and the texture “applies” to your system body/head. It is sort of an inworld applier system without the need for huds/scripts.
“System layers” is what we used to wear on our system avatars/classic avatars, before mesh bodies and heads became popular in SL (people who never switched to a mesh head or body still use them). That means no more worrying about if you wear makeup A you might lose makeup B \o/īOM supports 1024×1024 resolution textures (before BOM it was 512×512), so the quality of the textures will be the same as applier skins/makeup/tattoos.Īlso, since all BOM textures get baked onto one layer of the mesh head/body, there won’t be the need for onion layers on your mesh body parts anymore, which will reduce rendering cost and will make SL a better experience for all.
SECOND LIFE HOW TO MAKE APPLIERS SKIN
There is no more alpha glitching, less lag and layering is possible again! You will be able to wear up to 62 layers at once that will get baked onto the skin layer of your mesh head/body. Think of it as different kind of applier system, similar to Omega, but without Huds/scripts and more layering options, but we get to that in the next point. Every kind of system layer (skin, tattoo, clothes, alphas, eyes etc…) when worn will apply to your mesh body/head just the way as system layers show on classic avatars. I wear mesh breasts and butt, ears, mouth, heads on occasion.BOM or Bakes On Mesh is a feature that has been introduced in August 2019, which allows system layers to show on mesh body parts that have been set up for Bakes On Mesh. I am used to hands as well, because I get gestures, relaxed, bag hold, point. I always wear mesh feet, if not then I wear boots to cover up the awful anckles. Beware of good deals on the Marketplace without demos. Some does not include appliers but sell them in a small box or vendor next to the main vendor. In doubt, (If it looks like mesh body parts is used but nothing says so) ask the creator. If it says nothing about appliers, then assume it's not included.

The text should inform you about what's included, and exactly what you are buying. A dress has an applier for the breasts, gloves, sweaters etc. Same goes for clothes, when you wear mesh feet and stockings, you have the stocking as a layer on the leg and a stocking applier for the feet with the stocking texture. If you have a skin with highlights and shadows, you get problems because you have to pick a shade and so it will always be inferior to applying the skin texture. The match is exact, as it's literally the same skin texture, just applied to the mesh feet. So, for example, if you have mesh feet, you use the appropriate skin applier hud to match the add-on mesh feet to the rest of your body, rather than attempting to tint manually. By keeping an eye on sales and fairs, you can score a good deal.Īn applier is a hud, that applies the skin texture of whatever skin it is, to the body part it's intended to go on. It adds up in some money totally, but it is much better than the default avatar. The mesh parts is sold separatly, skin makers make skin appliers, shoe makers make shoes add-ons, clothing designers makes appliers for their clothes. Like ugly feet, hands that look lumpy and has few crude gestures, butts that look flat when you bend, breasts with strange angles instead of a smooth curve etc. They are designed to correct flaws in the default avatars shape. These days, mesh replacement bodyparts are becoming more and more popular.
