One of my favorite things at this year's Fantasy Faire is the Star Mesh Body. The body is done well, with features one would expect as well as a few innovations. It also comes with two animated mesh heads: Baby and Pro. The extensive HUD contains settings for both the head and body which will help to declutter the viewer. Another surprise is a conformer, which I will say more about below. There is even a fix button for alpha glitches.
The package contains many options. The mesh heads have a button in the HUD to change from EVOX to SLUV mapping so most skins will work. The included heads look great, but if you'd rather use another, it's not a problem. Just take off the SMB head and add the one you want. You may have to redo your shape. I recommend starting with the Star Body shape you like best, and then readjust the head. I got very close to my usual look.
The body is made in sections, kind of like the Genus Morph head. There are several bust shape options, shoulder options, etc., so you can try them and choose your favorite. There is also a deformer for fine tuning. The body has layers that work with appliers, and there’s also a BOM version that only has one layer. The BOM version has a much lower rendering cost. One wears the conformer, and it basically adjusts the body to whatever clothing you’re wearing. This means that we can still wear clothes rigged for Maitreya and also for many other bodies. This is a great idea! Star Mesh Body has a series of videos on YouTube that explain everything. I watched the one for the conformer and found out that it needs to be enabled in the HUD. I tried on a dress rigged for Maitreya, clicked the HUD and my body popped right into the dress and looked great. Clothes rigged for some bodies fit the Star Body better than others, so do try a demo to make sure it works for you.
The Star Mesh Body is offered at half price during Fantasy Faire. Getting a mesh head and a mesh body for under 2500L is a steal, so be sure to grab it while you can. You can also get a Panthorian add-on free with the body. The included HUD has a lot of fantasy colored cat skins and one that has a more natural wildcat face and body. The store has some fun costumes made especially for the Star Mesh Body, including a Steampunk style dress and a retro spacesuit. There is also more information at the store. Star Mesh Body is a Sponsor of Fantasy Faire. Enjoy!
