I've been seeing a lot more of my clothing purchases give me "Lara X" mesh fits. Usually, not always, I can just throw them on over my base Maitreya body. But quite often, there are geometry breaks around my butt and chest.

I remember when I upgraded Maitreya last, I received the Lara X files too (I think?). I can't find them in inventory and when I did an inworld search I couldn't even find the main Maitreya store. ?? I've been lackadaisical about keeping my av updated, and now I pay the price.

I guess my question here is how I can (a) acquire mesh files for Lara X; (b) how to avoid geometry breaks or will there be any?

I'll hang up and listen off the air. Thank you!

Mesh files for making stuff or just like, the body.

I believe they just replaced Lara with Lara X but they include the original in the box.

A redelivery should get the new body.

Thanks! I spent some time yesterday searching for the maitreya store without success! (?) You helped me find the redelivery. I should be so good to go I'm already gone :geek:

They've definitely "juiced" the polygons in the butt and chest in the mesh.

After an hour of rummaging through my 100k inventory I feel like nothing fits. And a quick glance tells me there aren't nearly the available outfits on the market that there are for standard Maitreya. That's to be expected I guess.

I do like the extra polygons for snoothness. I'm not sure why my butt resembles a Kardashian, even de-slidered. I'll make frequent use of the save stick when I want to switch bodies. At least my small fortune in clothes won't go to trash.

You can see from the polygon shapes/alignments (displayed by the Alpha settings) that the significant changes are in the chest, stomach, back, hips and thighs/legs.

Lara 5.3:


Lara X:



What I have noticed is clothing that enables the alpha channel on polygons can be problematic (until you reset them in settings) if wearing them on the "wrong" body.

Generally, 5.3 items that fit LaraX are sleeveless. You may need liberal use of the alpha hud for butt and boobs. Thigh highs will break, shoes and boots up to knee high (and maybe a little bit over the knee) should fit just fine.

Yeah, I've found the majority of my footwear for 5.x can be used without adjustments on X.
