You've seen it lots
of times with regular clothes: Different designers buy the same
templates for pants, shirts or other apparel and retexture them.
Then they sell them as cheap clothes or give them away as MM prizes,
hunt items or group gifts.
The same is
happening with basic mesh clothes. Different designers buy the same
templates to experiment and see how their customers like them.
So, today's choice is between a free mesh hoodie with pants (incl. prim
cuffs) from Caster Inc via the MENstuff Lounge and the same
basic hoodie plus pants (incl. prim cuffs) outfit newly released from
:SZD: for 99 L$.
Question: Is it worth to spend that extra money?
The answer:
It depends, since you get two very similar but still different
products. For one, the texturing is always a matter of taste. Secondly,
the alpha layer of the pay item (I used it on both pictures) works
nicely with my mesh adjusted shape (belly and body fat = 0). The free
alpha leaves holes at the wrists and I would have had to fiddle around with
my arms, result unknown. Also, the pay item contains two hoodie sizes
instead of just one, I wear the smaller one, plus it contains a prim
belt buckle. With the free outfit comes a cap that I did not wear on the picture.
