Wetsuit

I needed a better wetsuit for sailing, as the one I had was BoM which I made for myself ages ago.  I hunted around and found this one.  This suit is L$250 at CLBlue.

There are two sizes for Lara in the pack, a standard fit and one for slim arms.  Also included are fits for Freya, Isis, Slink Hourglass, and a one-size-fits-all fitmesh for classic avatars.  The suit is modify, and the creator has supplied the AO and UV maps, so you can texture to your heart’s content.  There are also some example colors in there too, green, aqua, and black (shown).

The fit for Lara requires some substantial work with alphas to hide poke through.  So much alpha that this may be the first Lara outfit that I’ll sit down and take the time to make an auto-alpha wearable to go with it.  If you don’t know what that means, let me explain.  You can get a free script at the Maitreya store.  If you drop it in an object and tell it which alpha cuts to apply, it will automatically alpha your bod when you wear it, and un-alpha them when you take it off.  Normally, you’d create a transparent sphere or something and wear that with the outfit, but because this is modify, I can drop the script right in the wetsuit.  That will certainly save some time when getting changed!

All in all, this is a very nice looking suit making great use of materials.  Considering you get a mod kit with it, it’s definitely value for money.
