The queen of digits,
Strawberry Singh, wants to know how our shapes have changed since the introduction of mesh. My digits photo is empty of numerals. I am a lazy gal and you can see them all, just the same as they were over a year ago in my
previous post here *wink*.
I do like the new height meter which seems much closer to what Linden Labs believes is our height. I also did my own test by building a 2 meter cube (phantom) and standing inside it. We were indeed the same.
And as a post script. I am taller than my 2 meter (6 foot 6ish) size in the top photo as I added shoes. We want to be stylish as well as accurate!
And now to answer some questions.
- How has the introduction of mesh affected your SL, if at all? Are
you open to wearing mesh often or do you still shy away from it?
I love mesh, when it fits of course. My shape is anything but "standard", being first flat chested and second minimally buttocked. (Yes, know that isn't really a word, but it should be!) I prefer long dresses and pants over short skirts which seem to always have a sitting issue (a different issue than the old days, but who wants part of themselves to disappear when they sit down?).
- Have you changed your shape to fit into mesh? If so, did you go bigger or smaller?
No new shape for me. I admit to tweaking the tiniest bit if I need to get rid of an edge overlap, but most garments that don't fit me have large breasts and a volumptuous derriere which I feel very uncomfortable in, so why go there? Instead I sometimes put on a standard sizing shape and turn into someone else for a few minutes so that I can feature something on my blog. After that, the items head to the recycle bin.
- Do you think the mesh deformer will resolve a lot of the issues
people seem to have with mesh and will it encourage you to wear mesh
more often, if you don’t already?
While I hope that proves to be true, the precursor garments that I have tried actually fit me less well than the standard sized ones. So while I have my fingers crossed, I am guessing it wont make much difference for me. Happily there are some designer's mesh that seems to fit me well; these are typically not the full perm models, but personally made mesh.
