Hi All!
Ok so quick post today to show you this free....yes free....fitted mesh body from The Shops.
Ok so a little background from what i know (which isn't much and i could be wrong on any of it)...but a while ago The Mesh Project was started, and The Shops is part of this Mesh Project along with other designers like The Skinnery, Essences and many more. Now i think the idea behind it was that, instead of a load of designers all making their own mesh bodyparts, they would join forces to make one mesh av in collaboration.
Now, the plus's of this for us as buyers are that, we wouldn't have to keep shelling out our precious L's on all the various new bodyparts that pop up constantly, as well as their appliers.
This can only be a good thing right?
Unfortunately, the other mesh body part creators won't think this is so great, so the race has been on as far as they are concerned to bring out their own mesh body first. Wowmeh seemed have won the race on that score, but i personally thought it was no where near release stage and there was more wrong with it than right.
Now last time i checked The Shops, they had free mesh feet and hands which a lot of you will have already grabbed. But now they have a fitted mesh body! \o/
I have to say, i wasn't expecting big things from it because it was free, but i'm glad to say i was massively wrong! As far as the shape of it goes, it couldn't get much more perfect to me. One thing i love about it is that it is more suited to people that prefer smaller breasts. I did play with the sliders but found bigger breasts just look strange, although i have seen other people with bigger ones that don't look so strange....so maybe i just have to play with the sliders a bit more
It comes with a lot of different skin options, so there is a chance you will get it to match one of your current skins. I got it pretty close with one of my Hush skins but there was still a seam so i opted to buy one of their skins too. This was a whopping 1K, which i think is a lot for one skin, but i do love the body and that was free, so i think it leveled it out a bit.
Now onto it's bad points....
It doesn't have any way of hiding parts of the body like Wowmeh did with the alpha's, and at the store i only saw one outfit for it (which was free, and pictured below). So until we see a considerable increase of designers making mesh that fits it, we will just have to walk around naked :D
The same with skins...i am stuck wearing their skin with this now, and in turn, their feet and hands. This just isn't feasible considering the amount of money i've spent on slink shoes, so they really need to address this and either make slink appliers for their own skins or other skin designers make appliers for the mesh body.
Having said all that, this is still early days, the body is still in beta. So hopefully we will now see designers making clothes and appliers for it!
I personally love this body, and will be keeping a very close eye on any updates
