I want to talk about some of my favourite outfits, but first I'm gonna talk about SL viewers.
Like a significant proportion of SL's residents, I don't use the official Linden Labs viewer. When I first joined I used Emerald, but after privacy concerns were raised I switched to Imprudence, and then onto Phoenix, which became the most popular third party viewer on the grid.
Phoenix is a very good viewer, but the team behind it have another viewer too, Firestorm, based on Linden Labs Viewer 2/3 (rather than viewer 1.23 like Phoenix)
It's still in Beta, but after trying it for testing, its become my new mainline viewer.
There are still a few features to add, but it has some great features that make it worth using.
- Outfits panel - Separate to the inventory, has an easy list of each outfit created, along with their components.
- Multi Attach - The ability to attach more than one prim part to the same point on your avatar. Phoenix has this too, but won't do it automatically with outfits.
- Multi Layers - A big one, you can have multiple items of clothing on the same layer, and the viewer remembers the order you put them on, so if you have a bikini top that the creator put on the jacket layer, you can still add another jacket layer over it. It also allows multi tatoo layers, which I need to be able to wear lipstick, a hairbase and eyebrow layers (and more) all at once.
- Multiple inventory windows - great for sorting the inventory
There are plenty of other advantages, and plenty of things that are annoying (like the search), but it's looking good so far. :)
