Amelie Barbours Mesh Straitjacket

Another straitjacket today, what can I say, I love the things.

Quality

This thing is a tad.. Odd with quality. Its appearance changes heavily based on viewer settings. If you have lighting and shadows on, you want to edit the restraint (You need to right click on something else, hit edit, then click on the SJ, rigged mesh and all), go to texture and change shinyness to high for the best results.




If you don't have Lighting and shadows on? Set shinyness to low. Regardless of whether you do this or not though, the SJ looks great. Tight as only a mesh product can be, thick, tight straps in key locations, very latexy. Not as many straps as some SJs, but well.. This seems to be the kind of one you pull over your head, not slip in via an opening in the back, going by lack of zip on the back.

It has a colour hud to allow basic colours changes to the buckle, the main body and the straps. You can also go into edit as described earlier, tick the Edit Linked box, hit select face and adjust the straps or body manually this way if you want a specific shade (NOTE: This seems to crash my viewer at times. Uncertain if its just me however)

Function

Its let down a bit here. Theres the aforementioned HuD that lets you alter the restraints colours, and then theres the locking mechanism. Two types. You attach the SJ controller that comes with the restraint, and get an option. Anyone, or Single Key. If you choose Single Key, you can wrap yourself up, and free yourself.. Or be at the mercy of whoever else gets the key first. On Anyone however, it does as it suggests. Anyone can lock you or free you.. But once you're bound, you can't free yourself. Be careful!

It also has a Lift/Drop command. This is sort of like a leash. The person who lifts you carries you around on their shoulder, although there can be a few issues with this looking a bit odd.

Other info

If you take off the Straitjacket controller your arms no longer stay snuggly in front of you, but instead free, albeit still in the SJs sleeves. Could be used for some interesting RP such as breaking out if done right.
