in 2016, a new open source mesh body was developed by opensim uses intended to update that platform to a legal, non copybot mesh body and also to provide a good alternative for the system avatar to SL users. The final product was the Ruth Body.
But, there were problems.
Many users of the new body wanted a different head as they felt the default Ruth Head was too jagged and too similar to the system head. But, when commercial mesh heads were added to the body, there was a terrible visible seam and mismatch.
Additionally- users were stuck with applier skins, many times simple freebies that the uploader of the body had saved. This resulted in a bad user experience that was no use to either a new SL user or a seasoned oldbie wanting to dip their toes into mesh.
This new release of Ruth 3.5 fixes all of these problems.
The head has been rebuilt from scratch to a more attractive standard and no longer has visible jagged edges. There is more bento functionally and a full range of shape support. There is a fitmesh neck blender that is also BOM and the old Ruth choker collar, to provide different levels of coverage.
There is a robust nail system that is as easy as wearing a system tattoo. Simply right click and ADD to yourself in your inventory. There is also a pure white modifable tinting option.
Skins are NOT mined freebies from other websites, they have been made specially for the body and head. There are a variety of colours including natural and supernatural tones. There is also all three tints of our Color Wonder ultra customizable skins.
Finally, a compact, low lag mesh body accessible for all SL viewers with no catches and no sacrifices. Look beautiful for the lowest possible price...free!
Perms info: all tintable items are modifable, other skins are not to prevent messing up the tones. If you want to play, please use the tintable items <3
Best free body yet for Maitreya clothing
It's not 'perfect,' but for a free body that can fit a good majority of Maitreya clothing, I am very pleased.
The body is labeled "G&D Ruth 3.5 Body Bake mask" in the folder. I renamed mine to make it easier to find.
My main complaint is that you can't minimize the alpha HUD, and it takes up a lot of the screen.
I have neck issues with some heads that can be fixed by moving body fat and thickness sliders all the way to the left.
Where is the body?
Is there a mesh body in the package? I can only see a shape, some skins and feet for Ruth's body. Where exactly is the Ruth's body itself?
5 thank you for replying
Thank you for the free Ruth body, i'm a big fan of this meshbody. You did some great work, i do wish to add that it would have been 'correct' to add that the mesh is thanks to Hyacinth Greymoon :). And thank you kindly for your reply to : is it really not possible to change the nailcolors? They are grey-blue-ish, since all is no modify? When you rezz hand, you can adapt nailcolor (info for other customers), i had to remove my review (i could not adapt it), so 5 now :) Thankyou
Very good clothing fit
I have tried all the Ruths, like this one the best. Come with an Alpha Cuts hud!
Keep going!
Great work , surely to be appreciated. Will you like to contribute your work to the project on github ?
Still needs some work
Like every version of the Ruth Mesh body this bodies hips start to distort sideways when you set the butt size below 20. Wich makes it unuseable for short dresses and pants, since Maitreyas(wich is the best fit for the Ruth body IMO) butt is still big at size 0 on below 2m non-obese avatars. Needs fixing.
The head is slightly better but still has nasal creases.
