LIQUID MESH Jeans From Redgrave (Update)

Here's a sneak peek at the Classic Cut Jeans with separate Belt from REDGRAVE which will be released tomorrow. Jeans and Belts are made of LIQUID MESH which means that they automatically adjust to the body shape! So, basically no more fitting is necessary! (*)

But, that's not all! The pants can also be modified by changing the shape settings for Body Fat and certain settings in the Legs section:

  • Leg Muscles
  • Butt Size
  • Saddle Bags
  • Knee Angle
  • Foot Size (to change pants cuffs width).

Example: I increased my Body Fat from 0 to 28, the Butt size from 50 to 87, and the Saddle Bags from 20 to 40, so I could wear the new mesh tank tops (size XL) from [M.o.w] that I show on the picture properly tucked inside my jeans (see left & right). That would not have been possible with regular mesh pants. I also increased the foot size from 0 to 25 to better fit my boots (worn on lower legs not feet!) under the pants.

(*) Do LIQUID MESH products really cover all possible shape settings? No, there are a few limitations. For the belly size the maximum setting is 3 for it to work properly (also depending on your settings for body fat). In this post my belly size = 0!

Meet the Hybrid Male Mesh Avatar from YABUSAKA

YABUSAKA, known for his petite avatars, released his first Hybrid Male Mesh Avatar (HMA). It comes with 2 HUDs that let you choose between one of five eyebrow and beard styles as well as one of five mouth and eye positions (open, closed etc.). 

The Good: You get a complete avatar with a shape and a skin, a resizable but not modifiable mesh head, a selection of 3 mesh ears (elf, half elf, normal), 3 resizable mesh hand versions, mesh feet as well as tintable finger and toenails. You can leave the mesh feet away to wear shoes or just wear the mesh head depending on what outfit you want to put on. Since the head and the hands are resizable via the standard shape sliders, you can also use your regular shape and all of your mesh and system clothes will fit you. 

What is still missing: Unfortunately, right now there is just this one skin and head shape to choose from. The designer asked me to pass on the information that he is looking for more skin collaborators for his hybrid mesh avatar. Btw: Buyers of the HMA also get a Male Skin Applier/Making Kit so they can make and sell their own skins for this mesh avatar. Requirements: They need to know how to edit the skin texture of the HMA's head as its geometry is quite different from a regular SL avatar's head. 

The Not So Good: When wearing the HMA, trying to fit a hair would crash me instantly and I normally never crash. This made the fitting process kind of difficult since I had to take off the complete mesh avatar first before I could edit my hair. As mentioned in the review on the designer's SL Marketplace website others apparently have the same crash problem so it's to be hoped that a future update of the avatar may resolve this issue.
