Make Your Own Flexi Prim Mini-skirt
So the “Necklace Generator” script I posted on my Second Life Page is a huge hit, I get asked about it all the time in Second Life.
Well as a project, I thought it might be fun to use the same principles to create a flexi prim mini-skirt. They are all over Second Life, often expensive, and not all are very good. So here is the skirt I created and a short “how to” to make one yourself.
First, unless you have a large plot of land, you need to find a nice sandbox, as this will generate a 50 prim skirt. Generate a couple of boxes with the following properties:
Box 1 (the belt):
Size: 0.080 0.320 0.320
rotation: 0,0,0
Box 2 (the skirt)
Size: 0.200 0.500 1.200 (increase the z value for longer skirts)
rotation: 0, 350, 0 (the y rotation causes a slight billowing effect you can adjust to your liking)
taper x= -0.65 y= -0.45
Check “Flexible Path”, the default settings are fine.
Put Box 2 on top of box one, it will sag to one side, this is fine
Link the two boxes together as shown in the picture. Name the object “skirtpart” and take it away.
now generate a 3rd prim (does not matter) and create a new script with the following code:
Touch the prim and watch an upside down skirt materialize before your eyes!
Delete the skirt generator prim then select all of the skirt objects and link them together. Turn the skirt over (x rotation = 180) and use “scale” to shrink it down below 0.5 meters before attaching it to your pelvis. Then you can use position rotation and scale to adjust it as necessary. Because your avie’s hip is not a perfect oval, Feel free to adjust some of the flexi prims individually for a perfect fit.
If you dont want your legs to stick out when you walk, you can create a pair of black pants to wear underneath that match the waist and hem lines.
