Layers Vs. Lag
Recently a topic came to mind that I felt could be fairly insightful. How many times have you cursed a particular designer to future fits of lag because you favorite clothing items from different outfits share common layers and can not be mixed.
The ability to mix and match clothing items in both real life and Second Life, is what makes fashion so personal, it is what allows us to be unique and to make our wardrobe work for us. So why is it that the majority of designers are not giving us our outfits in various layers?
Several things such as bandwidth allocation settings, Avatar borne scripts such as color change shoes, Avatar borne prims and inventory size all affect your playing experience. Anyway giving us each item in several layers will allow us the flexability to mix and match and thus allow us to personalize our wardrobe and make it work for us. on the downside our inventory lists will jump in size about ten fold, is it a worthwhile trade off?
