Yeah, it just bothers me that the images I find before demo/purchase look so rendered, I feel it sets you up for a certain expectation if you aren't familiar with the graphic quality of SL. The skin I'm working with isn't what I thought it would look like, it is a bit different looking still than the image shown, but I'm happy with it enough to purchase it and I think it looks nice still and much more high quality now, even if not what I was expecting.

Yeah, it's a mesh head. After working with it and getting it on the right shape it's one of the best I've seen after searching a decent amount of places. But, I may not have had them on right; TMP had it spelled out on how to do it a lot better than other places but the lag and wait is terrible. I had to turn things down a lot as far as speed and quality just to get in the world and even then it was still bad.

Yeah, their system is a little overwhelming at first. I mean, I have been overwhelmed by the system of SL in general at first with going through folders and whatnot.

Thanks for the tips! They made a HUGE difference. I think I'm in love with it now (but I still have lots more to add, for instance, the rest of his head... haha)

Well, I have been demoing but the differences have been drastic, even without the right shapes (not sure if I had the right one or not for this one, they didn't say which one should go with it) but it looks so entirely different. When I was joining SL and seeing these avatars, I was expected something totally different.

Hello all, I am new to SL. I don't know if this has bothered anyone else but I've noticed with almost every skin I try, it looks ENTIRELY different than the pictures the shops are showing advertising the skin, and not in a good way. The pictures look so beautiful and high quality, then I try out the skin and it looks nothing like it. Is this normal here? I feel like it's false advertisement of the product. The bodies I've found for male avatars usually look great—it's the faces that I think lack.
