The Second Life viewer 2.0 (beta) hit the grid today and all of plurk is aflutter with the many, many micro-changes that were brought to it. I was expecting some kinda bigger changes but there are a couple of things that will get fashionistas and designers alike perhaps a little excited, the first thing being, an extra layer has been added to clothe the avatar mesh ! And it covers the face too, so you can make make-ups to customise skins you bought. Or skin makers can create extra, standalone make-ups that you can buy separately and wear with skins from other brands !
LeLutka, being always on top of things, sent some test make-up layers to their group members. I tried them with different skins, and found they worked great ! I’ve not tried too many skins, and with some of them having particular quirks, it is not guaranteed make-ups will work with every skin, but this seems promising !

An alpha layer was also introduced, so you can make any part of your mesh disappear, to use, for example, for shoes. Let’s see who gets to put it in practice first !

Oulalala depuis la sortie du 2.0 je suis toute excitée !
Cette option “tatouage”, c’est de la folie !!
Oui, j’aimerais bien qu’Emerald ait cette option aussi, bientôt, j’espère. :)
