Feature Proposal 14: "Generalized Texture Layers" has been marked 'acknowledged'
by Linden Lab.

Here are the Linden notes: This is a good idea, and something that we want to do
in the future. We accept this proposition.

i may not have been making much by way of clothing, tattoos, etc., but i'm glad to see this in development!

I too am happy.

It's a more modular, flexible, sensical approach. :)

Have to wait and see how it actually works in practice. Hopefully it will allow people to apply their own tatts to no-nod skins but it hasn't been fleshed out with any real details. My fingers are crossed :)

I proposed a simple implementation method for GTL's in its originating thread.

GTL's

It seems like a step in the direction you are talking about Chip, but it might need one additional set of textures, such as an independent tattoo outfit, and a renaming of the current "tattoo" slot to "skin". I would love to hear more critical comments on it from others. Is it enough, or is a more radical departure from the current skin/tattoo clothing heirarchy needed?

This is great to hear. Now if we can get generalized attachment points my Big Two requests for SL will be accomplished. Then I can move on to the remaining Big Three Or Four Hundred. :)

I think it should be enough (and a huge boon) so long as they don't forget about tatts and include the head. If it ends up just being for clothes there will be much crying and gnashing of teeth ;)
