I am very frustrated that i have to walk around SL with a cleavage that starts at my throat and not my chest! lol I've tried adjusting the size of breasts and setting the Join Cleavage settings very low, but still there is that ghastly line! Thanks in advance  Rosanda |

Try changing skins? It sounds like the detail that bothers you is a painted detail in the skin you're wearing.

I had this problem for nearly a whole year and kept buying new skins for this reason until one day I figured out by editing the breast buoyancy using the sliders on the edit appearance panel, those ugly lines can be eliminate. A little more gravity is what you needed |

There is a breast divet that starts at the upper chest, lower neck that is part of the avatar mesh. There is also a hump in the back. The position of the SL sun will make a huge difference in the shadows on the avatar in these areas. The shadows are crude and are best viewed at forced sunset/sunrise with the avatar facing directly into the sun. This reduces the shadows significantly. Don't use Windlight as it is right now. It will only make the situation worse.
The avatar is far from anatomically correct since it is only a few thousand polygons in total. Skins account for a lot of details that are left out of the avatar mesh. Nothing you do with the avatar shape will completely eliminate these issues. You can soften them by using specific breast size, cleavage, various other torso slider settings, and a good skin, but it will always be a compromise. You can also buy or make a local light source attachment. This, unfortunately, is a setting that others can turn off, so you may look better to yourself than to others.
Despite what others may say, there is NO PERFECT fix, not till LL improves the avatar mesh and rendering engine.

Wouldn't it be possible to modify the avatar mesh?
It seems like people are doing amazing things building stuff here.
btw - This is my first post. Hi all!

From: April Looming Wouldn't it be possible to modify the avatar mesh? Nope, at least not inside SL. That would require both server and client side support, not to mention the fact that any modifications would make all current content incompatible with the new avatar mesh. This may be done some day on an entirely new platform. |
