Ayeleeon Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I have an issue with my neck, its not just that the colors dont match, there seems to be a dark stripe, this stripe isnt covered by the neck blender. in fact if anything it is even more obvious with it, I am using Belleza jake, with a Leltuka head, Anyone know how to fix this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, turn off the neck blender. It's just causing problems. If you still see it there is a mismatch between your head texture and body texture. If your head and body skins aren't from the same maker that will be an obvious cause; if they are it's still possible because they're technically different textures. If you're using BOM you can get blenders that will cover the join specifically to fix this sort of problem - I know that Izzie's makes some. If the stripe is worse in some lighting conditions than others, it's possible that the meshes are set up so that they reflect light slightly differently (this is controlled by aspects of the meshes that are called "normals".) It's possible that the "normals" of the head and body are set up slightly differently. Your body may have different neck settings that will improve this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echelon Alcott Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 If by any chance you are using BOM, make sure you are loading the different layers in the right order. I've experienced something similar in the past, and reordering the layers in which they were loaded fixed a similar issue. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that, it doesnt affect the dark stripe at all, makes the area above it and below it lighter so it becomes more noticeable Edited December 24, 2021 by Ayeleeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maitimo Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Take off the neck blender. Those are for when you have a mesh head on a no-mesh body (or vice-versa). Turn Advanced Lighting off (temporarily). If the fault disappears, then its a materials issue, most likely on the head. Too much gloss/shine makes it look darker overall. If not - re-wear your skin to make sure you're wearing the correct head and body skins. Check the head hud to make sure its not got a tint on it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Amore Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Check your current outfit folder to see what else might be the problem. I'd start by removing any tattoo layers for head and body. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayeleeon Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share Posted December 25, 2021 The dark area is on the body, and changing the bodies skin color can lighten it. I can't seem to get it to go away, or cover it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robotshaz Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 i had this problem as well once and it turned out i needed to attach my updated maitreya body. i was using an older version of the maitreya body. So you might want to also check your body too. So i had to take off an old version of maitreya and swap it for the newer version. could be you may need to detach and reattach your body aswell tbh. so do check your body you got on aswell as the head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 You never said if the head and body skin were from the same place. Or if taking off the body tattoo and head tattoo made a difference. There are many variables at work here that could be effecting the neck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an all in one skin, i updated the body but that didnt fix it, but when i logged in again it was fixed, So I guess i needed the updated body and a relog.

animats Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Check for head and body having the same alpha mode. If one has "alpha blending" and one has "alpha masking", you'll get this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Yes, the old belleza body had this neck issue that @Skell Daggerexplained in several.posts. I guess we all, except Cody, assumed you were updated already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BjorJlen Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Well, I wouldn't necessarily agree with that one Ayeleeon. After all, you DID know you had a little problem here, and then knew to come to the forums to ask for some help, so please don't knock yourself too much, because I know your better then that. I am glad to see that your neck problem was fixed finally though; it's just a shame that sometimes doing a relog will up and help fix things like this though. Peace...

OK, i know a lot obout SL, however the technical aspects of how it works on our computers I tend to be less knowledgeable. like someone who can do amazing things driving a car, but when the car breaks down, is clueless about how to fix it.

BjorJlen Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I hear ya Ayeleeon. Me I'd probably just buy a new car and be done with it lol. Other then that, when I had a similar issue a while back with another avatar I was making, I couldn't solve it immediately either. So instead I just bought a wide collar and was done with it until I finally got some help from some wise smart people. So your good... 👍 Peace... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
