Thanks Bobbie, A foot form? I have a TMP Mesh Avatar. I'm not sure where the "foot form" is in the Inventory the vendor supplied when I purchased the "Deluxe" Avatar," unless you mean the file that contains his feet and hands? I could buy a pair of sneakers for him at "TheShops!" (the white room) - does something like that contain the "foot form" you wrote about? He's been on sand terrain frequently, is that where the foot form is somehow worn, but invisible? Several long time users have told me that they keep the Appearance / Hover Height controller on their screen mostly all of the time - is that recommended? I'm guessing there are some elevation rules when building a sim that Linden Labs recommends - which are ignored or impossible to comply with - is that why so many Avatars keep the Hover Control permanently active on their Firestorm viewers? Thanks! James

Hi! I have just noticed that my AVI-guy is floating about .5 ft. above the ground. (I'm new) I think I would have noticed this before - he doesn't have anything on or applied to him that would likely cause this feet "hovering." Do you have any suggestions as to how I can set the Firestorm viewer to - keep his feet on the ground - no matter where he is? I may have caused this while experimenting with the viewer controls. Thanks! James (Cerebrogasm)

Great point on a social convention and consideration, Amethyst! All my best, James

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, Hunni! Your procedure worked exactly as you had explained. All my best, James

Hi, I notice my avatar has a the white, hovering, "voice ball" floating over his/my head. I've turned off the settings to activate live voice speaking - but the ball is still floating there. Can you tell me how to shut off that icon - as well as be sure I'm not unknowingly transmitting audio through my computer's microphone or the attached microphone (I use for RL music composition with Apple's Logic Pro X)? Thank you!! James

Thank you so much - that was very nice of you to spend the time detailing an answer - and I'm glad you commented your opinion as well regarding the various vendors. All me best, James

Much appreciated Alwin: will explore your recommendations - thanks so much!

Hello! I'm new to SL - about 2 weeks as a new subscriber - I've been experimenting with avatar development that resembles me in real-life (I expect I'll try other manifestations in the future). I've managed to build a polygonal mesh version of my avatar. I purchased most of the components from "The Shops!" (white room) with the help of an experienced user. This process took quite a while to underdstand! Although I have added head-piece (I forget what it's called) and it is now worn on my avatar - I next need to purchase male, high-quality, blonde (I'm "dirty blonde" in RL and any color variations) from another vendor. Could you recommend where I should look in the MarketPlace - specific vendors names (links) would be greatly appreceiated! All my best, Cerebrogasm (James)
