~JJ~ Crystalline Skin (ruby)

Note for DEMO kits:
These kits include watermarked textures and may not include all options that are included in the full kits.

What's in this kit:

~JJ~ DermaLab Skin Applier (multi-option)
~JJ~ Bakes on Mesh / System Skin(s)

Wear or Add the HUD to attach it to the default HUD position (Center) or attach the HUD to a screen position of your preference. Note that if the HUD is attached to anything other than the default position it may require additional editing to be properly viewed. The HUD can be edited to move it on your screen to a position of your preference.

Once the HUD is attached you can touch any of the buttons on it to apply the indicated textures to your applier-compatible mesh avatar.

Bakes on Mesh layers can be applied by activating the BoM features on your compatible mesh parts. These will be applied as high definition textures to your body but will not transmit materials data. If your body supports it, you can use the HUD-based applier to set the materials on your skin. Please note that system skins used on non-BoM (classic) avatars can be worn directly on any visible system avatar parts. These textures are low-resolution and do not display materials effects due to the limitations of the system avatar.

Tips:

Even if you do not see your specific mesh body type listed as a compatible type you still may be able to use the appliers and/or BoM layers either with full or limited functionality. Check with a support representative of your chosen body or head for details on what features may or may not be supported. Remember that DEMOs are available and they are free so grab one and try it out first to see if this product works the way you expect it to.

Do not reset the scripts inside the appliers! If you do, they are almost certain to break. If this happens, get a redelivery of the kit and discard the broken one.

Catwa and Maitreya applier buttons are included on some of the multi-applier HUDs to help insure that those very popular brands are fully supported by their proprietary application systems. Omega buttons are for general use and will apply textures to both the head and body of compatible mesh parts. Be sure your mesh parts are Omega-friendly. Insure Omega is built-in to these items, installed properly and, in the case of those items that require a relay, that the relay is attached.

So I see that there are materials-only buttons on the HUD. When I apply that, I see the materials on the skin that was already on the body (or head) and it looks terrible! What's that for?

The materials-only appliers may help you easily apply the materials effects over a Bakes on Mesh skin. Some bodies allow you to apply a regular materials-based skin to get the materials effects but others may disable BoM when you use it that way. The materials-only option is there for you if you need it.

If your head or body does not look as "shiny" as it is pictured in the advertisements then you may need to either activate Advanced Lighting in your viewer or use the HUD that came with your body or head to increase the materials effects output. In your body or head HUD be sure that the Glossiness and Environment sliders are up ALL THE WAY to the maximum setting! Don't worry, the skin knows how much gloss and environment to display all on its own. There should be parts without much effect visible and other parts with a bit more drama to them. If you end up looking like a walking mirror then try re-applying the skin and/or materials. If all else fails, contact the creator of the mesh body part to learn more about how that product handles applied textures and materials.

Both appliers and Bakes on Mesh can be complicated to use. Please familiarize yourself with your mesh parts and how they work. These skins have been tested on many popular brands including Tonic, Belleza, Genus, GA.EG and others. Be sure your mesh items are the latest versions and if you use Omega appliers be sure your install kits or relays are also the most recently updated versions as well.

If you have any trouble, questions or comments, please drop me a notecard (and not an IM as those can cap and get lost easily). I fully support this product, but it is still up to you to use it properly. Let me know if something doesn't work the way it should. ALWAYS make and use a backup of your item! If you get "creative" and mess it up, that's on you. Although I support the textures and applications from the HUD, I do not support any products sold by other merchants. You will need to contact the creator if you need support for those. This includes features that may not be compatible with another creator's mesh products whether or not they are supported by Omega appliers. For help with the Omega products (the applier system) directly please contact Omega Solutions customer support.

I hope you love the ~JJ~ products as much as I loved creating them!

~Love~
