[Head size]

I have always struggled with head size because I have a relatively full figure for SL and so what looks proportional sometimes seems huge especially when, as has been noted, a lot of heads appear to be on the small side.

Anyway, a wrinkle about head size not mentioned here is that many people camming in to look up your nostrils are using alt-zoom. It's the SL equivalent of walking up close to someone with a wide-angle lens, and in that sense the effect is quite realistic: the center is hugely distorted. Using the ctrl-0 zoom (or phototools view angle setting) is more akin to a digital zoom, which simulates a longer focal length by cropping the original view. This is more "accurate,"  but if people are viewing and setting their own shapes through an inherently distorted lens, who's to say what's correct, I guess.  If you already knew this and thought "Everybody already knew this!" ... I think you'd be surprised. If you didn't know this and think it can't possibly be true, try it and see. 

Yea It is possible for sure, we are the only rulers on our body pixeled shape but sometimes it gets harder to get by!

When the viewer is not the main one, the body can be affected for real so that's why proportions help us. But we are also different from our ethnicity so it is valuable.

That is not true.  There are many players who present themselves as a baby or child.  You can not get reported* unless you are engaged in (or in close proximity to) sexual activity. 

To the OP, mallienna's suggestion for looking on the Marketplace is a good idea.  I would also suggest, after you identify a couple of avatars that you think would work, that you try a demo and that you also look for clothes for that particular avatar, so that you will know whether the one you choose has a good selection/quantify of clothes available for it. 

*ETA further clarification:  People may report you if they don't understand the TOS, but it is not a TOS violation unless there is sexual activity happening/present.  Many "A" rated areas will not allow child avatars just because, and many child avatars stay away from "A" rated places on principle.

Oh, fine. Good to know! My answer came just because of my personal experience (I was too short) so I was required to change my avatar look.

Saskia, that would not work, and it is also a pretty extreme response.  I checked your posts and the replies you've made to posts (you can do that by looking at a person's forum profile).  I didn't see anything that was so embarrassing it should make you want to run away from Second Life.

I hope you stay in SL...and stay active on the Forums.

Thanks, sometimes I get scared too much by internet exposure if I can't relate the person with consciousness but I will try to avoid it somehow...!

You can ask the Linden Mods to remove it, but you cannot yourself and there is no way to know if your request will be granted - worth a try though. Just report your own thread ans ask for deletion - I guess a good explanation why you want it removed might help.

Can I if I delete my account?

You actually can't and you can also be reported as pedo.

Yes I do. Interfaced with my 3d ocular enhancer comparator.

I'd agree but my oculars measure 75 and it is going to get 80 while my shoulders are 50, if I translate it into 3Ds it actually works as a 70 not 75.

I've appreciated the meshes links but honestly, Gianni 75 is also good for standards, just in case of demos it may also be used without any add ons.

 

 

[Head size]

Your head size should measure as the size of your shoulders so feel free to do so.

If your shoulders measure 70 than your head should do the same. I think I'm done with it...

 

Thanks and bye!

[Set your height...]

You can set your height by the first option (modify your shape) at the body section window by the first scroll from 0 to 100.

For exmple, I'm tall 184 cm than I will set my height at 84.

 

Feel free to do the same.

 

Bye!
