Silly question: is this an actual Second Life avatar?

Hey guys,

Very noob question but I'll ask anyway: was this female avatar made in Second Life? ->

Thanks. :)

No, because avatars ate not made in Second Life.

 

There is a base avatar provided by LL which responds to all the appearance sliders and is skinned using the UV map provided.

 

That avatar is not the LL provided base, therefore like every other non standard SL avatar, it was not made in SL.

Thanks, but come on you know what I really meant. Ok this 3D model was not made in Second Life but does it look like it's useable in SL? or made for SL? Like a custom skin/mesh or something.

The 1st one has too many ploygons to animate it in real time. It's for render pictures.

The 2nd one is difficult to see.

Nope, I didn't know what you really meant at all, I tend not to attempt to guess or interpret if the information isn't there in the first place, it often leads to mistakes.

There are many highly inappropriate 3D models, avatars, clothing etc. which was made for other platforms but which has been brought into SL.  They can even be made to animate and "work" but as Nova alluded to, high number of polygons isn't a good solution for SL when it comes having an efficient viewing experience.

The seller's message "High polygons, high detail, best ever in SL" needs to be binned.
