Once BoM is live, I expect content creators to issue updated mesh bodies to accommodate the new options.

I donРІР‚в„ўt use the Official Viewer, so I am assuming that a new Firestorm update will happen soon after. I saw a blog post today that said that the new Bakes On Mesh viewer would be released soon, perhaps Monday. Hands and feet are known to cause issues, so IРІР‚в„ўm hoping that by the time Firestorm updates for BoM, most of the bugs will have been worked out. There are some issues with BoM, so donРІР‚в„ўt expect it to work perfectly right out of the box. I did keep my SLink hands and feet (and shoes!), so IРІР‚в„ўll have to wait and see what happens. If it doesnРІР‚в„ўt, I may have to switch over to SLink. IРІР‚в„ўve used my Maitreya body for so long that I donРІР‚в„ўt think I even have other mesh items anymore, so I really hope it gets updated. I havenРІР‚в„ўt yet heard about update for any other bodies or heads, so we will have to wait for those creators to update. If you use a SLink body, an update for use with BoM is available.

I havenРІР‚в„ўt actually tried BoM myself yet, so I donРІР‚в„ўt want to hand out bad information. IРІР‚в„ўm not going to explain it all here in detail (for that, you can read more here, here, and here).

There are several really good blog posts out there already about how to use BoM, but what it essentially boils down to is the ability to use system layers (remember those?!) for skins, tattoos, makeup, clothing, etc. So those who are already using BoM will probably look strange to us until then. Those of us who use a third-party viewer will have to wait until an update is released. The new Bakes on Mesh viewer is now live (if you use the official SL viewer). Hmm, an excuse for shopping РІР‚вЂњ I may have made my decision! СЂСџВвЂє On the other hand, if I do pick up the SLink body, I definitely will need to go shopping, as most of my current shoes and clothes are made for Maitreya only. Except that previous frustrating experiences with SLink hands/feet issues is still recent enough that I donРІР‚в„ўt know if I want to do that. I donРІР‚в„ўt know if Maitreya plans to remake their body with fewer onion layers, so the SLink body is tempting. IРІР‚в„ўm still debating whether to keep my Maitreya body or pick up the SLink Redux body made for BoM. Plus, I try to be conscious of my personal rendering cost, so wearing things that are easier to render is a bonus as well.

I never got into tons of appliers, especially makeup, because it was too overwhelming for me dealing with all the layers of a mesh head. Not having to use a HUD to apply layers to my mesh body would be a HUGE deal for me personally. I have a ton of makeup layers and tattoos I used to wear all the time and IРІР‚в„ўm curious to experiment and see what they look like using the BoM system. I still need to pick up the Maitreya BoM HUD and the nail fixers, but IРІР‚в„ўm excited to play around with them. Lots of people donРІР‚в„ўt care how it works, they just want to know how to use it.Р”В®layne also linked to a blog post by Cazimi that has a lot of resource links for BoM at the bottom of it. She keeps the explanations fairly simple and non-technical, which is always helpful, in my opinion. The first one explains the difference between the two alphas provided with her mesh head and which one you should use depending on what youРІР‚в„ўre trying to do. However, I have watched a few videos and read a few blogs that have some pretty good explanations.Р”В®layne over at The Studio has 2 videos about BoM. I have updated my viewer, but I havenРІР‚в„ўt yet had time to play around with how it all works. Firestorm has released an update that includes the new Bakes On Mesh option.
