Ok lets talk about mesh!!!
By now everyone knows what mesh is and the things that we can do with it. Mesh entered Sl as a great improvement and novelty and, as everything that is this different, some love it and others hate it.
In what concerns to me, I'm not a great mesh enthusiastic. I do think it can be used and make the difference in certain occasions, but at the right proportions.
For instance, mesh and avatar physics... is a no!! If you tried to wear a mesh top with bouncing breasts, you will know what I am talking about, besides, I can't really see the advantage of mesh itself just for tops that are supposed to be tight to the torso. For that, the regular layers work just fine.
Getting away from what is my department, clothes, mesh, many times count a lot more prims then the regular sculpt for the exactly same building, with the down side that if you have to make that building bigger, the prims will increase even more.
True that I've seen very cool creations using mesh, including at the fashion department, the texturing is fantastic and the shape is very agreeable. But honestly, I do hope they come out with mesh deformer soon, mesh is beautiful yes.... but so is your shape!!
Now, skirts and dresses, as I said, the texturing and shape is very nice, but I do prefer the flow and movement of a prim skirt. The way I see it, the flow of a prim skirt moving around while dancing is one of the trade marks of SL and mesh now reminds me some women or men that make some plastic surgery to correct something they think is ugly at their face and they end up losing that thing that even "ugly", or not so perfect, is what gives them that special touch that makes us love them.. (not very sure if I made my self clear, that's one of the problems of not writing in our main language :P). Is more a less like Barbara Streisand correcting her nose :P
But, as I said at the beginning, I do think mesh has it uses and that is perfect for some situations, and in what concern to system skirts is a nice improvement.
Soooooooo...... for all of those that flooded my IM's asking for mesh, here it is: Frenchy, a vintage looking outfit, using a latex mesh pencil skirt.
As always you can find the DEMO at our MP store, where you can also buy Frenchy with COPY permissions. But if you prefer to buy clothes with TRANSFER option, you can give a jump to our main store in world and get yours.
