Baked on Mesh is out...what does this mean going forward for appliers etc?

there will be a time of adjustment while people decide what that means for appliers. ideally, it means make clothing layers, no more appliers. in practice...people don't want to let go of their appliers. maybe they will once they really understand the system, but most bodies and heads aren't committing or even have a version that IS committing to the

system yet (slink is. every other thing i see is doing it some flavour of half assed, at least until they actually get to properly updating)

Appliers is pretty much just a texture change hud, so there's still plenty of uses for that. But anything that equates to "onion layers" will hopefully be dead and up in flames cause it was always a really terrible fix for a problem we now have a solution for

𝖘𝖆𝖇𝖎𝖓𝖆 : appliers need the onion skin- unless you're talking about just a skin, no makeup/tattoos/etc.

Oh, sorry, no I wasn't referring to mesh heads. I'm hoping no appliers will ever be used for that again as so many people like to layer things. But essentially, we use the word "applier" for anything thats a third party texture applying HUD. I'm sure that's useful for anything that only requires one layer and not multiple ones

Like idk, if zooby lets others make clothing appliers for their babies etc

material appliers aren't going away, neither are nails- eyes could but probably won't, especially with the popularity of heterochomia. skin/makeup/tattoo/clothing appliers are (largely) out IF people actually commit to bom. they implemented the left arm option HORRIBLY, so that will still need a hacky fix (same with left foot, though that's a smaller

area to deal with)

Things that wouldn't be using the ruth body texture layout, that you still want to change the texture of via third party means

But for your own personal wearable things that can properly take advantage of the system layers (where people might at any point want to layer things), heckers no. Byebye appliers

while they are the same sort of thing, i don't consider those "appliers" in the general usage! but yes, ASIDE from mesh body parts, things won't be changing much (they can, but again, crappy implementation so i don't expect a lot of adoption out of that unless some community adopts a strong standard for the few options)

you might be able to tell i'm a bit peeved about the way they did the extra layers
