As I mentioned in a previous post, the Centaur avatar has been awaiting some pretty major updates as the new applier system has been in development.
The system wasn’t quite ready for prime time when they were first released, but over the past week or so we’ve had the opportunity to buckle down on all the necessary functionality and to offer additional coats while we’re at it.
What’s changed?
So let’s start off with the major changes – The new applier system shall allow third parties to easily & quickly offer new textures for the centaur body without having to worry about potential issues giving textures away.
To use the new appliers, all you’ll need to do is either wear or rez the applier in a script-enabled area (while wearing your avatar body) then click to apply. Once all aspects of the applier have been sent to your centaur body, the applier can either be detached or deleted.
What does that mean for people who’ve already bought the avatar?
Moving forward, the Bay coat will be the default coat that comes with the centaur body. All other coats will be made available separately using the new applier system.
In order to take advantage of the new appliers, all existing holders of the centaur avatar will need to update to the new version by rezzing a copy of their avatar body on the ground in the blue exchanger circle, located here: (link)
These packages will each include both one copy of the mesh body AND a copy of the appropriate applier.
Cool, but what happens to those people who bought multiple coats?
Each existing avatar holder is eligible to update their avatar and receive the appropriate applier via the exchange process. (Yes, even RFL edition avatar holders!) Additionally, appropriate refunds for the difference in cost between full body & applier shall be handled individually upon request (please be patient as there may be a sizable queue).
How do I create for this avatar?
Finally, as a reminder for interested content creators, applications for dev kits are now open – you can check out the full details in this recent post: (link)
Last but not least, here are four new coats offered as appliers!
