My avatar is SMOKE!

[Denny Delgado]

Using both the SL Viewer2 and Phoenix, my avatar is smoke.  Why is that and how do I fix it?

[Akane Yven]

have you tired to rebake it yet??? Advanced Tab, Charater, Rebake Textures?

[Randall Ahren]

If the rebake doesn't work, do the character test. Make sure you're using the latest version of Phoenix, and don't bother wth V2, it is nothing but trouble. 

Character Test:

Bring up the Advanced Menu at the top of the screen by typing ctrl+alt+d

Click Advanced - Character - Character Tests - Test Male or Female. Your avatar will return to the original simple version. If this doesn't work, search your inventory for "Female Shape & Outfit" or "Male Shape & Outfit". Right click on the folder and choose "Replace Outfit".

I had a white egg for an avatar yesterday, and some of the other avatars around me also looked like white eggs. By pressing ctrl+alt+Q you should get a develop tab that will pop up at the top. Click on that then go to avatars-character test-male or female. That does the trick!! The only problem I have now is everytime I log on to second life I have to do this and change my avatars clothes etc......

Heya Rufio,

Find a quiet sim like Smith, clear your cache & relog back to Smith. Open your inventory and just wait there without doing anything else until your inventory is fully loaded. Hopefully should be able to log in without having to reset everytime after that.

Did you fix the problem Denny? If not maybe you need to clear your cache manually:

(XP) - C: \ Documents and Settings \ (USER NAME) - Application Data \ SecondLife and
C: \ Documents and Settings \ (USER NAME)\ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Second Life

(Vista) and (Win 7) - C: \ Users \ (USER NAME) \ AppData \ Roaming \ SecondLife and
C: \ Users \ (USER NAME) \ ApplData \ Local \ Secondlife

Recommended to delete the Phoenix folder following the same paths.

Delete everything in those folders and restart first your computer and after the program. Usually the folder Appdata is a hidden folder. (Windows Tools \ Folder Options \ View & enable Show Hidden Files/Folders)

If you uninstall viewer do it for all and restart your computer before the new installation.

Rebaking your avatar might help

Got it fixed.  Thanks everyone.

I tried rebaking which left me with a naked avatar with now customized skin so I tried the Character Test and I appeared!
