My character model is all stretched out, what's going on?

[Kaelth Zemenis]

Hi, I'm Kaelth.

This is the very first time I play on Second Life, and as soon as I enter I find my character this way:

What shall I do? I tried to change some things in the Graphic section, but still this way it is.

Please help me out

i and welcome

You can try this:

1. Go to Edit > Preferences.
   
2. Click Graphics tab and check Custom to show additional options.
   
3. Uncheck Hardware Skinning.
   

   
   

   
   
4. Click OK" button to confirm, and see if that resolves the issue. You may also need to restart the Viewer.
   

And also (specially if you have a ATI graphics card) DISABLE VBO:

Hardware Settings allows you to configure some additional, more advanced graphics settings. Press the Hardware Settings button to access the Hardware Settings menu.

 

Enable VBO: Enables OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects.

   
     

Tip:  Enable VBO on modern hardware gives a performance gain. However, older hardware often has poor implementation of VBOs and the Second Life viewer may become unstable when this is enabled.

I'm not sure but try this.

Preferences=>Graphics=>Hardware options.  Then Untick Enable VBO. Relog. VBO is not compatible with all graphic cards, some go faster, some go crazy.

Many many thanks! The first thing helped removing the stretching, and the second one improved the speed.

Thank you =D

Thanks, it helped me improving the speed of the game, but the stretching was caused by Hardware Skinning. Thank you anyway =)
