[HELP! NECK PROBLEM! Belleza Body, Catwa Head, Belleza Skin Applier]

Thank you, everyone, for the replies, and my apologies for not getting back to you immediately. I had been busy with RL things. Anyway, I did not find any solution, though I had spent days trying to look up stuff and actually try them with my avatar. In the end, I just bought a ribbon choker of some sort and it covers the line. It also goes well with my dress, so I think I'm relatively more contented with my character now compared to when this issue started, but I still do hope there could be a fix sometime in the future.

Again, thank you everyone for the replies!

It is a problem with the two pieces, body and head, that don't share the same vertex normals because they were not exported together. That's why belleza body comply to system heads: the creator exported a system head along with the body so the boundaries could share their vertex normals and no seam would show. Solution? None, unless the head creators share the original mesh head with the body creators who in turn should then export a body version for each single mesh head brand, or the otjer way u around... And i don't see that happening

Thank you for your explanation. I feel much better now. I get too obsessed about fixing small details sometimes.

*me puts her hand up*  I noticed it with my avi too about a week ago.  All of a sudden.  I have tried all the normal fixes and nada so stuff it for now.  Lelutka head and maitreya body if that makes any difference and have been for years with the same skin.  

Thank you for speaking up too! I hope the producers could address the issue as soon as possible. I do have a Maitreya body and it's beautiful, but ditched it for the Belleza Freya for a thiccer avatar.

Thanks for the reply. I tried other skin applier demos from the Belleza store, and they all have that neck line thingy. I even tried playing with the Belleza body skin tones, thinking that I probably chose the wrong skin tone, but it seems like I didn't. I don't think it's just my viewer because a really helpful guy, who also helped my husband with his question about his own mesh body, also told me that he can see the line on my neck.

I've asked the Catwa Live Chat support group, and a lot of people suggested different things which I have all tried, including changing the windlight to Calwls, changing my Belleza body neck size to 24 and my Catwa head's neck size to 24, and decreasing my shape's body fat to 24, and even decreasing both the body and head's glossiness. Nothing worked!

I was told that the neck sheath for Belleza is only for system heads. That probably explains why it's bigger than my head's upper neck part.

Hi everyone! This is my first post. I've been in SL for many years now but I just mainly wandered around different sims and didn't care much about how my avatar looked before. I decided to go back and introduce my husband to SL, but I forgot the password and email for my original avatar so I recently made a new one. Obviously, I'm new to SL fashion and mesh bodies, so I really need your help.

I bought a Belleza Freya body and am using the Medium skin tone that comes with it. While looking around the store, I saw a really nice Belleza Skin Applier (Jordan) in Medium. I bought that too, thinking that I only needed that and not a head. After looking up some more information online, I stumbled upon Catwa Heads and decided to buy the Koura head. I used the Belleza Jordan Skin Applier on top of it and I liked how my avatar looks. I am also using the shape that comes with the Catwa Head and just did some slide work to suit my taste. However, I noticed this neck line that I'm trying hard to get rid of.

 

I've tried looking up tutorials and even tried to change my windlight settings to no avail. (I'm using Firestorm Viewer.) Does anybody know any fix for this? I've also noticed that when I used the neck sheath function on the Belleza Body HUD, the neck sheath appears slightly bigger than the Catwa Head neck sheath/alpha. Also, when I turn off the Catwa Head's neck sheath/alpha, the neck part disappears.

 

Sorry if this is a noob question. Any help would be appreciated.
