- Fitted Mesh Avatar < Warrior > contains 3 mesh layers: Tattoo, Underwear, Cloth, plus Cuff, they are all controlled by Alpha HUD and Applier.
- Alpha HUD can show/hide Tattoo, Underwear, Cloth, Cuff. If it shows red on hud means the part is hide, if it shows white means the part is show. Sometimes if you find it doesnt show correct, simply click the part on hud which you want to show/hide again.
- Applier control the texture on Tattoo, Underwear, Cloth, Cuff. Simply wear applier( or wear then click applier ) to change the texture.
- Please make sure the mesh layer is show before you wear applier, otherwise you may not see the change of texture.


======================================================

░░░░HOW TO MATCH CLOTH FROM OTHER BRANDS░░░░


---Alpha HUD---

- To have best look to match cloth( especially rigged mesh cloth ) from other brands, you can wear alpha HUD to show/hide part of body.
- You can also click "Upper All" or "Lower All" to switch show/hide all of upper body or lower body.


---Adjust Shape Slider---

As you know, < Warrior > is Fitted Mesh Avatar, means this mesh avatar is deformed by shape slider, include Muscular, Butt Size...etc. So you can not only use alpha hud but also can adjust shape slider to let < Warrior > match cloth from other brands!


======================================================

░░░░SHININESS EFFECT░░░░


There are 1 Fitted Mesh heads and 1 Fitted Mesh Body. If you need shininess( specular) effect, please follow the steps below to evoke Advanced Lighting Model on you viewer ( If you don't evoke Advanced Lighting Model, you may not see the effect ).

1. Press ctrl+P to open PREFERENCES.
2. Switch to Graphics, evoke Advanced Lighting Model, press OK.

Advanced Lighting Model


* Note: I find sometimes SL official viewer doesn't show correct shininess effect, not sure what's the matter, so that my suggestion is use Firestorm or Singularity viewer if you need shininess effect.

Then you simply wear any of the 3 skin HUD and click SHINY/TINT HAIR, the HUD will show the shiny function, you can enable/disable shiny or adjust glossiness and color on both head and body by HUD . Note glossiness and color ONLY work when shiny is on.

======================================================

░░░░DEVELOPERS KIT░░░░


< Warrior > is match sl UVW Map, means designers can transfer textures( include skin, tattoo, cloth which was made for default sl avatar) onto the mesh avatar. Simply use developers kit to make appliers, and then designers can also sell their own appliers.

Tattoo designers can make ASYMMETRY TATTOO ( for example tattoo only on single arm, not on both arm) or ASYMMETRY  CLOTHES by this developers kit, it's impossible for default sl avatar but it's easy on this mesh avatar.

Please see  DEVELOPERS KIT GUIDE here to know how to make appliers and other details.
