    Saving body hud settings with outfit

    in Your Avatar

    Posted

    The auto hide works great! As for the feet, the pose doesn't seem to be saved along with the outfit.  When I change from a flat foot outfit to a high heel one, the foot remains flat.  The body hud is saved with the outfit but doesn't seem to have any effect on the foot pose.  You suggested making a copy of the feet in the desired pose:  what would I do with the copy (placed in a separate folder) and how would I re-link it to the outfit with it being overwritten by the one already there?  Would renaming the body part cause errors?

    thanks, again, for the autohide suggestion!

     

    what are the dimension for a picture in in Pick of my Profile page?

    I'm  not sure how these dimensions above were determined.  For a Profile Picture I've  taken an equilateral pic (512x512, etc.) and scaled it down to 133x133 since LL insists on forcing it into a 178x133 area and pasted it as a layer on a background of  178x133.  The dimensions of the original are preserved (see head shot 1).  For Pick Pictures, I found that a background of 266x133 with the original pic scaled to 133x133 preserves the proportions fairly well.  In the original pic, the head image is almost an equilateral triangle. The Pick Photo as uploaded has a 2:1 aspect ratio but when scrunched into the Pick photo frame (see my profile) my square image loses some of its width, so I guess I'll have to try different dimensions for my image.  I still don't see how an uploaded pic of 2:1 can retain any reasonable proportion in a 4:3 frame.  Any ideas ... anyone?

    LL shrinks all profile pictures to 178x133 (4:3).  The easy way (using Gimp) is to scale any equilateral pic (512x512, etc) down to 133x133. Then, create a background layer 178x133 and color it to complement the pic.  Finally, paste the pic as a new layer, export as a .jpg, and upload to SL.  It takes just a couple of minutes with the free Gimp.  I've puzzled over this for years and read lengthy notes on how to do it and not sure why it took me this long to figure out an easy way.

    I'd like to be able to send an IM while I'm offline (unable to launch browser).  I've checked "My Second Life" and some friends do not have "Feed" available ... some do and it appears to be those who have changed display name.  With MySecondLife not an option, is there another way to send an IM if I'm offline?
