Skinny Avatars!

As a prim-based avatar maker, the current avatar mesh is very frustrating for me to use.

You can make your avatar as skinny as possible, but the ribcage, elbows, and knees are still quite large.

It would help me out a lot if we were able to make our avs very thin, like stick figures.

That's all I have to say about that.

Good idea.. Pitty they didn't do it in time for halloween

I'd like to see more custimization for the avatars.... and a better-proportioned avatar mesh in general.

I'd also like the option to turn my avatar off... completely. We already have "invisiprim", why not just allow us to simply set our avatar to not render? Then we could build complete attachments-based avatars.

This would be helpful.

What would make me personally very happy is if we could set our entire avatar to be partially transparent. I want to look like a hologram, damnit. Without having to invisoprim myself and make a crappy prim human substitute.

almost like a "ghost avatar" check box or something... great idea!

I also like the idea of having no real avatar and using only prims... it's what a lot of people are turning to anyway... or at least the inventive ones i've seen...

Oh crap Marcos. For a minute I thought you said "Shiny Avatars"...

I was crestfallen when I read it again and it was only "Skinny"

We need shiny avatars :|

Agreed to Michi. Once I misread it 'Shiny Avatar' and I'd really love to have it!

btw. about the ghost option...I am concerning about privacy. What if someone just turn the option on and unattach everything on their body? Won't they become completely invisible to everyone???

Then they could take up an invisipims gun and start firing around and no one would know who shot them.

Now that name boxes work better I don't see why it shouldn't be an option, you can already go invisible with invisprims if there aren't any alpha textures in the background to give you away.

Mmm...yes, but i can still right click the big invisiprim to check the name....?

that would be a cool idea
