Nakisha13 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Is Linden Lab planning on introducing a tighter mesh screen for our avatars in the near future? I think it would make the avatars body smoother looking. Looks to chiseled as it is. Just noticing how awful my tummy looked laying on a beach towel with my rib cage all sucked in and my skin with spikes and ridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielRavenNest Noe Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 As far as I know, no, they are not. But people like me have started making replacement avatars with better geometry and UV mapping: Mesh Avatar Foot Closeup - with texturable toenails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greene Paine Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 They expressed intrest in it if my memory serves me, but all new 'shinys' have been held up behind mesh like angry people trying to get past a rly fat dude in a hallway. Now that the Linden machine has taken it's giant mesh dump I think all the cool new stuff like Avatar 2.0 will be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the eyes or mouth move on them? Even my full-prim furry avatars have more expressive faces than I have seen possible so far with a mesh replacement for the avatar body.

Ry0ta Exonar Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yep, I remember I read something like that on mesh forums...oh, this post. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Mesh/Avatar-2-0/m-p/891821#M1006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 If I was working for LL, I would argue strongly for an Avatar 2 with better distributed polygons and improved hands, wrists, ankles, feet... And don't let us forget the male mesh, with the shoulders and arms that's almost impossible to shape. The arm muscles look just hideous, like a lump. And the crotch area on both men and women, that distorts even the best textured pants as soon as you move just a bit. This avatar is outdated, after mesh is stabile, work on a new avatar, please, PLEASE LL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakisha13 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 WOW, that's really nice! I was chatting with with some older players and they said the avatars used to have a sheen to them or something that kinda made them look like plastic which helped.
