Hello, I've seen several people wondering how to create their own shape and wondering how to do it, what's important is to know the basics first, before you create something you desire. You learn the basics, first, then you can create any body shape you want. Also, realize that you don't have to be proportionate, if anyone is upset at you, about being unproportionate on a 3d Space with Fantasy, ignore them. Have your big breasts and butt if you, if you're skinny then have your small breasts and flat butt as long as you enjoy yourself and know that you're a grown woman. same about men, Ignore people who has only but negative things to say about you and those around you. Anyways, you should take a look at shapes about women, and or men. I will be sharing shapes about women. These are the most common shapes of women, with Pear being the most popular shape, in second life, and Hourglass the second and the least popular is the rectangle body. As you can see here, these are the most common, realistic shapes. You can see the difference in a lot of them, • Hourglass have equal shoulder and hip width, curvy natural waist., just like an hourglass • Triangle, aka pear shape, the widest part of them is the hips. Most of the weight goes to their lower body, they usually have smaller breasts. • Inverted Triangle, basically the opposite of a pear shape, broader shoulders narrower hips. This is the most rare body type • Rectangle, basically your body basically you're skinny, balanced, not very curvy. This is actually the most common body in athletic women, it's also picked on the most to be "boyish." It is, also, common for petite women. It is characterized by its overall smallness, small bust, small butt. • Oval your body is broad and you're big boned, basically the least curvy and more wide. So when you are creating your body, think about the shapes that you are trying to create, first. Don't think about your face, first... or do.... but the body you just think about shapes. What do you want? skinny? curvy? Also, look into hips and how hips are form, in women. People will lead you to bellieve that women have longer hips, when it's not true. Women have wider hips and more thicker hips, but not longer hips. Men have longer hips and more narrow hips. However, this is S.L so have however long of hips you want, you want long hips, go for it. You want short hips, go for it. These are hip shapes that you can make with your body, for women, and it's valid If you have a hip dip, this is why you have a hip dip, you have to increase that part with more fat and or muscle. Also, forgot to add this in, when making your body, remember that your wrists align with your crotch, you don't have to do that either if you don't want to, there are exceptions, pear body usually do have longer hips, so the crotch line is farther down, that means your wrists sits above your crotch and most likely align with your palms. If one does not understand the sections, for the body in edit menu, here is a basic run down. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Body Section - • Height, self explainatory • Body thickness, How wide you are overall, you want to be a wide person or a narrow person? • Body Fat, this is how much fat, overall, is in your body. • hover, how much you hover over the ground, 50 being default and means you're ground level by default. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Torso Section - • Torso Muscles is how much fat muscle you want your upper body, you want thiccness you increase this Neck Thickness, 50 is middle, left of 50 your neck becomes skinnier, right of 50 your neck because thicker. • Neck Length, You want a short neck or tall neck? really tall is 100 • Shoulders, how wide or narrow do you want your shoulders? • Breasts How big or small you want your breasts • Breasts Buoyancy, You want boobs that look like they have less weight or boobs that look like they are affected by gravity? • Breast Cleavage is how wide apart your boobs are or how close together they are, useful to play with if you're in a top or bikini • Arm Length is how long you want your arms to be • Hand size, how big or small you want your hands • Torso Length, you want a short torso or long torso? • Love Handles, this is your natural waist area. Tiny Waist vs wide waist • Belly Size, how big you want your belly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Legs section - • Leg muscles control the fat, muscle level of your legs, the higher it is the thiccer your legs • Leg length is exactly as it says, Remember that men have longer legs than Women, on average but you can have the longest legs as you want. • Hip width is how it says, how wide you want your hips, how narrow you want them • Hip Length is how long you want your hips • Butt Size increases your butt size, you want a small but or big butt? • Saddle bags basically make your hips more rounder or narrower • Knee angle is basically do you want to be bow legged, chicken legged or balanced? Balanced meaning the middle, 50 points. 100 is extremely bow legged. 0 Is extremely chicken legged. • Feet size is self explanatory. Left means smaller, if you're counting down from the center, right means bigger so 100 is the biggest, 0 the smallest.

I made an avatar and she looked fine (nothing was wrong). I wanted to create another avatar (starting with a default avi) with the same components as the first one (which includes a legacy body, shape and tattoo). However, whenever I go to use my legacy body, it gives me a body that has the tattoos that I put on the first one and I can't even detach or remove them. I tried to go into my inventory to remove the tattoos, but it shows it's not even highlighted. I opened Legacy's menu, but it says, "please attach a compatible body". I attempted to go to my original avi to remove the tats but no luck. I'm having the same issue with not being able to remove eyeliner. I refreshed, detached, cleared cached and nothing worked. Please help.

So basically I am new to Second Life and all that, I am not that used to all of the settings and stuff so this might be a stupid question. I just noticed that the neck tattoo that I bought, around the neck its got a better resolution and looks basically better, but then where the body starts it starts going blurry. I ofc added a picture on what I mean by that I use the Belleza jake V3 BOM/BENTO in my inventory and I honestly wouldn't know on how to fix this issue, if its even an issue. I use the firestorm viewer btw and also use the black dragon viewer and it is on both that its blurry.> I would appreciate the help, I just wanna take cool pics 😎

I tried to do some modelling, One or two people made comments about my body (Slink Hourglass) looking old, Plus the shop discontinued it. So i upgraded to legacy, But i kinda preferred my old shape and had waaay more clothes and skins for that body too. Is it THAT noticeable if i go back to it? I've seen plenty of Avis lately that look more "basic" than mine did. Or should i just stick with legacy and move on?

I'm in the process of finally creating an alt. Is Legacy going to have a sale this year? Does anybody know? I went to the store and it's still 5000L

People keep saying my body is missing, Usually lower half, Relogging seems to fix it. But i never see it, I look fine. I only know from people telling me, it's like 1 or 2 times a day now. I have an expensive legacy body with bom so i'd like it to work. I'm using firestorm. I dont think it's lag cause my new pc is 16gb. Any advice to prevent this is very apreciated

Hello there! I seem to be a magnet for problems as of late. Maybe someone has an idea how to fix this because im completely clueless here. So a while back i bought a fully functional Tardis cause im a smol Nerd. To use the Travel System "EmDash" was required. I never had any issues, it worked like a charm but recently my Outfit Galery or Inventory must have bugged out or something because now the EmDash Hud has doubled. Im still able to detach the original one but the clone or whatever that is won't budge. So far i tried to relog, use the Detach all from the radiall menu, switching to another Avatar/Outfit Preset and creating a new Avatar. I even tried a completely new one straight from the LL Avatar Library. No matter what i do, the Hud is always attaching itself and won't come off again. Any Ideas how to get rid of it? Im using Firestorm btw.

Hello there dear Forum Members. Im by no means a newbie to SL but im experiencing something weird going on with my Avatar for quite a while now and i just can't figure out whats wrong. After tinkering for way too long i finally reached the point where i have to admit that i can't figure this one out on my own. For whatever reason, my Avatar's Breasts are sticking out like mountains by default, only when i put on a chest clicker and give it a click they snap back where they belong. I took off everything im wearing one by one to no avail. I even took a completely new "vanilla avatar" from within SL and added my stuff back onto it but it happened again. No matter what i try i always end up with these mountains. Am i too daft to see what's going on here? Here's a Pic i made for clarification: https://imgur.com/a/8EWrN9H In case you overlook it, i put on some pasties to cover up. Hopefully that's sufficient. Im glad for each and every advice you can offer. 🙏🏻

Times are tough. Have you noticed fewer shoppers in SL's in-world stores recently? The pandemic economy is forcing many of us to pay more attention to how, when, and why we spend money. With that in mind I looked at the cost today to upgrade a system avatar to a bento one. Maitreya body - L2750 Lelutka Evolution head - L3990 Stealthic hair - L300 ItGirls shape/skin - L990 That's a total of L8030, which at today's exchange rate would cost USD $35.67. Some people add personals, which would cost: Lotus nipples - 299 VAW ***** - 825 or 1200, average 1013 Bringing us to a new total of L9342, which today would cost $41.50. THEN add new clothing, because some of your system avatar clothing may no longer work. These are just examples of some options used by me and my alts, so of course the cost to you can vary widely given your individual choices. Whatever our choices, in the end this is a lot of money. For many of us then we must also add rent, house, furnishings, and more. Things are really beginning to add up in an ironic art-imitates-life sort of way. What have you done to lower your expenses in SL?

Hey, I'm still new to making clothes for games, but I already have some knowledge of blender and marvelus. I really want to try to create clothes and export them to the game. Where can I get standard body models for blender?

Hello, I had acquired the Free Altamura Body which also has the head attached So now I have Maitreya body and Genus Head When I try to place the Body and Head I see parts of the old Altamura head and eyes are still there wont go away, eyebrows either I have tried every combination (HUD) even tried deleting the Altamura but it will not let me Can someone refer me to a video or let me know if they have a fix for this? Thank you so much Valerie UPDATE: I think I was able to fix it for now but if someone can help me understand how to keep it as a default or lock it in I would appreciate it

Hi, So I'm thinking of trying out a different body brand and I'm wanting to know the major differences between them all? Whenever I buy a nice piece of clothing, from Blueberry for example, it has different choices for: Maitreya, Slink, Freya, ISIS, Venus, Physique, Hourglass. Why so many different body types. Is it just a price difference, or some for tall or short avi's, or thin or heavy avi's? Is there a cheatsheet somewhere that explains all the differences? Thank you.

so i work on male model with dev kits and after creating hoodie with hoodie hat attached on i got to this problem.. since as far as i know body dev kits comes with body only and without head, after exporting it i noticed the hat doesnt move when i move my head only the body so my question is how to make the hat works along with the hoodie i created when exporting since head and body comes in different ways ? : https://ibb.co/ykHddsD - here it looks fine : https://ibb.co/7KPJ7Tr - after i tint the head the hat doesnt move with my head

so i bought the skin https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Vinyl-Destination-Markus-Full-Skin-Shape-Notecard-Body-and-Head-Skin/22788939 and applied it to the aesthetic body with the skin applier kit and now i was trying to take it off and i just cant i dont know where to even look for its not the skin it just applied somewhere in the body and theres not option for me to delete or replacre it. help please ! i own the signature body and wanted to go back to it and it still stays even there

So I’m new to second life and I’m trying to figure out, what type of body do I want for my avi but one of the bodies that I’m thinking about buying says woman body appears. What is a appear?

Hey everyone. So I'm back to the game after a long time away and now that I'm learning that mesh is all the rage, I am in desperate need of an overhaul. From what I've been seeing a lot of people recommend Signature Gianni & Legacy with Belleza Jake taking 3rd since it was never updated for BOM, neck seam issue, etc. I saw that just the other day or two Jake got an update. Given this recent update does this move Jake up to the top of the list again? For those of you familiar with this new update, as I'm still trying to relearn the game, does the new Jake update fix the neck seam issue and splayed hands? Also will it now work well with a Lelutka head? Trying to do my research before I spend the lindens. I'm looking for a good looking body that has nice clothing options available for it. Thanks! p.s.- I'm in the processing of demoing them, but I know as someone coming back to the game after some time away I won't know the nuances between the 3 as someone who is up to date.

hello. i've been having this problem on and off for months. it happens with all the mesh avatars i have tried, and it happens in sl viewer and firestorm. i have no idea whats causing this and i dont have another computer to try to see if it's a problem with my graphics card or something. it seems like the shadows and lighting is glitched in some way. i know nothing about 3d modeling and im also fairly new to second life as well.

Hey all!, Ive been wondering for a while, if there are any female mesh bodies that make the butt jiggle and bounce, i only know belleza does it good so far, anyone that knows other mesh avatar that incorporate these physics in their body, any and all recommendations and suggestions are good thankyou! it doesn't matter if the stomach jiggles that is only a plus! Thankyou ! 🍑

Aloha to other newbies. After some frustrating trial and error I was able to replace my system avatar with one that looks more like me. Yay! But the search for upgraded body, head, shape, and hair were super frustrating, and I hope this post will help you to avoid some of the irritation I went through. To be fair, I got annoyed at this whole process because I was searching for stuff on the Second Life Marketplace website, which feels like some Angelfire or Tripod site from the 1990s. Ugghh. No Boolean search terms are allowed, so every search gives thousands of useless results. I gave up on Marketplace and started doing searches via DuckDuckGo, StartPage, Google, YouTube, etc and found a bunch of relevant blogs and videos outside the official SL universe. Those sites allowed me to identify some items to try inworld. This SL Forum was a great resource too! There are plenty of bodies and hairs, but I'm mixed race so my search has been for modifiable stuff appropriate to East Asian, Southeast Asian, Polynesian, and African American looks. For me that means slimmer body, no hips, no butt, practically nothing on top, flatter face, etc. Not much to hold onto except a heart :-) Sort of a difficult match for most North American or European creators, so I don't hold toooo big grudge against Marketplace. Even after wading through all the huge anime eyes, botoxed lips, and overly sexualized stuff there was little to choose from though. Sorry boys, not all of us are voluptuous pole dancers! So, here are some inworld sites I found useful. Bear in mind that tech and life are always evolving, so I should point out that these places have interesting items now, in February, 2021. Blink and they may be gone.

With BOM, maybe clothing options won't be so big a draw for Maitreya in future. I added an ItGirls Ryn shape/skin, but have to admit that all the shades are pale for me. Maybe after another year of COVID quarantine I WILL be that pale though :-)

Hello guys first of all I want to thank you all for being so helpful and supportive to me and to everyone that comes here asking for help. I am going to work with some friends and start making our own mesh clothes. At least try to make. One of us knows marvelous design program. From all the mesh bodies out there which ones can be added in to this program? Thanks for reading me. Stay safe.

Hai so i am looking for some way to make my breasts tinier on my Freya body, I switched from maitreya and love it but when i adjust the sliders there is a point where if i go any smaller it just kinda looks like i ran into a wall hehe. I am a lil new to SL and wasnt sure if there were any add ons or things i can use to help this similar to my MT waist enhancer. I tried a few demos of some ones that were suppose to help but they just didnt things for to separate or saggy so any help is appreciated. If its not possible with this body to go any lower without ya know the "ran into a wall" squish look then thats ok <3

Hello everyone. I'm investigating whether the Belleza bodies have a creation flaw on the sole of the female foot (flat position only), in the underwear layer. I believe there is a hole * on the underwear layer * on the surface of the mesh, or a gap between some mesh mesh triangles behind (under) the third toe. (see image G1). I believe this applies to both the Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus bodies. Regardless of what is applied to the underwear layer, there is always a hole at that location. I've tested applying a solid-colored texture on the lower part of the body, including the foot, and the hole still shows up (see image G2). When in 'edit' mode, where it highlights the mesh triangles, the hole seems related to where two surfaces are supposed to join (see image G3, and closeup image G4). The hole is tiny, but one you've seen it is can't be unseen... Additionally, I wouldn't want store customers of applied foot items (eg socks, stockings etc) to think that the applied item is the problem, but rather the issue is actually the mesh body layer itself. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this sole hole a known thing?

Hello there, this is my first post here and i am already looking for help, maybe advice and ideas for my project. I recently brought a old avatar ( from 2013 if i am right ), its a old one made or prims, yes i know, today day we use mesh rigged bodies, but the ones we have on market dont fit my project, the body i brought was the one called Daenotaur from NIRAMYTH, the same creator of Aesthetic. Before i purchased it i knew there was no dev-kit for it, not even UVmaps, yet some people at the time it was released was able to make some mesh clothes and textures ( maybe the body had a dev-kit at the time? ), i spend 5 days looking the whole marketplace for bodies that would have the same proportions, size, height and would give the "strong" feeling the Daenotaur body already gives itself naturally, but i could not find even using deformers to deform the skeleton and the mesh after ( not to mention that its just too much work and money spend to get something similar to the body i want to use ). In the last days i managed to not "rip" the textures using illegal programs and ways, but to re-escale ( on a low quality ) the texture in a way for me to use as UVmap so i dont lose the "muscles" places in the texture, as long with the light placement it have ( so in the end i will be able to make 100% new textures for myself ), and right now i am looking to know if theres a technic, or idea, or a way you experienced creators have to create a mesh just by looking at pictures or directly inside SL, without having the 3d model a development kit gives you to work on.. I know theres might be something i am missing, maybe there is a dev-kit, but i cant find even, even a friend of mine asked the creators before i brought the body, and they said theres no dev-kit for it anymore. And sorry for my english, its not my first language..

Hey guys, I want to create a shape changer HUD with sliders to adjust the parameters of body and face for both default SL body and customised body are okay, but I have not found any tutorial online yet. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
