catlechat

Wow Pussycat, thanks so much for all the info and tips! (great links in the .sig too). Will be sure to check them out (when my RL alter gets un-swamped with work lol). I suppose it's called "Feral" because of being completely animal? Eventually I'd like to have a human avatar with cat parts (head, tail & paws) but my design skills are not to the par yet, when I try to simply wear the cat head over human, back of the human's head shows through it. Actually, non-human avatars were not available on signup but they were right there in the "basic" mode, so of course I had to look

Oh, I got it! Just tried to edit one of the prims from the cat outfit, and it works Thank you very much!

Hello, a total newbie here. I picked a cat avatar, but I want to change the color from the standard ginger to gray or black. I followed the procedure from some manual - edit outfit, select skin, choose a texture for head, upper and lower tattoos (picked a texture from my textures folder, there's a lot of stuff there, guess it was provided by default, for the moment I don't care that it doesn't resemble fur, just want to get started with editing). Also upped pigmentation for a good measure (which I suppose didn't work, I don't see any change in the edit menu when I do it). But there was no effect. To be sure, did the same procedure with a human avatar (student), and it worked, the changes could be seen right away even before saving. Is there something special about skins for furries? Do I have to create the whole avatar from scratch? Thanks in advance!
