Rumancekk Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I didn't know exactly where to post this, but since it wasn't an actual question about MY avatar... why the heck do avatars have brains? I don't know of its a SPECIFIC mesh or what but everytime I load into a sim , chances are in addition to seeing floating clothes, I'm gonna see a floating brain. I just can't fathom why the care was put into putting a brain in when you're not even supposed to see it ,and what the point of it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet Psaltery Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 To freak people out? I don't know, I've wondered that myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desiree Moonwinder Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Because it differentiates a particular brand of mesh head, and is near-zero work due to nice mesh purchasable on the web.

Lindal Kidd Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 But, Desiree...even us classic avatars have brains! I always thought it was in case of a Zombie Attack. We could all just throw our brains at them and escape while they were busy snacking. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're referring to the classic avatar hair that's usually tucked inside the scull and alpha'd-out. If its not alpha'd, it does look a little like a brain, I admit.

Lindal Kidd Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Ewwww. Now I'm wondering how I manage to think with a head full of hair. On the inside, I mean. On the bright side, if I throw it to the zombies, they'll get hairballs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesecurd Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It so when you enter a safe hub and instantly receive at minimum 10 different IM's that all start with "hey" you can blow your brains out with realistic detail. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the little spot on the upper right of the head texture that needs to be alpha'd out on the system skin to mask the system hair.

Maitimo Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Its a trademark of one particular head maker. What I never understood though is, 1) Why are they so small? and 2) Why are they red? Brains are supposed to be grey. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brains are supposed to be grey. I don't know why it's small but it's probably red because you just ripped off the skull to see it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Reddevil Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 It's the Catwa signature. It can be turned off though but maybe it makes some feel smart 🧠 by keeping it visible. Why ruin the illusion for them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolya Ugajin Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I believe a better question is, why doesn't LL require the people operating avatars to have brains? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelindaN Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 A couple of days ago there was a glitch and a few avis were walking around with no head and the brain and teeth hanging out the front. I don't have a brain. I checked. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just having a brain doesn't say much. There once was a chicken, that survived its own (botched) decapitation, because part of its brain (at least the brainstem) was still intact. It could breath, digest food and keep other vital functions running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinos Field Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I used to have a full set of internal organs. It was just fun too see how many people cammed through me. Then I decided I'd rather spend that complexity on things everyone will see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
