Not entirely sure what you mean.....but probably not because the avatar mesh cannot be altered and the funny angles and stretching that you see with different poses and animations is a result of the mesh bending.
Avatars are pretty cool.....but imperfect which is especially apparent when ya start messing with poses and animations.  |

That effect can be smoothed by wearing a thigh light.

Just don't wear clothing when you stretch your legs apart...then the textures won't stretch.
Let me know if you need help with this.  |

they end up looking like someone took a knife and seperated the thigh from the butt or something. or they get really stretched skin texture etc..

Is this the companion thread to "Jiggling Boobs"?

The thing to do is to vote for a switch to avatar meshes with decent texture mapping.

The mesh is just really bad. It affects male and female shapes. It's not just a texture map problem. It really looks like someone took a knife and sliced up your legs. I'd post a pic to show what it looks like but this is a pg board.

Are you talking about a skirt that you wear, or the actual thigh on the avatar (esp the groin area?) If it's the actual thigh/groin/etc, it is the result of ineffectual polygon placement on the avatar mesh. It's a big complaint for a lot of people.

Thanks Oryx. It's torture for me to look for those jira links, I was hoping someone else would do it. _____________________

Just supposing, for the sake of argument, that LL were one day able to improve avatar smoothness with a more complex mesh. Would that be compatible with us keeping our existing shapes and skins?

Shapes seems like it'd be possible for them to make them at least really close, if not the same. Skins though.. hmm..well they could design it with the texture template in mind, but some things done with skins now may look odd on a better mesh. It'd be possible for them to make it look the same, I think, if they designed it with that in mind, but it'd be easy for them to mess it up too. _____________________

I think they'd have to have a choice of two meshes - the new decent one or one that works with the old clothes. Or they'd make all the old clothes and skins obsolete by having just the new one. Either way it would be worth it to me.

But seriously, it's only Tuesday and we already have such titles in contentions as "Thigh Stretching", "Jiggling Boobs " and "Partner Length." Those are going to be tough to top even on Friday.

Personally, I would prefer nobody try beating them anyway - I'm just not into pain. Oh! Wrong choice of wording from me! No beating jiggling boobs.  |

I think Suzanne Somers has the answer: That or we need some inner thigh putty, w/ all the vain little addons, face lights, boob job shading, eye lashes and the XXX "accents" etc, I've always been surprised no has come up w/ a buyable fix. The 1st yr of SL I wore socks and underwear to my waist!! Black ones at that too ahaha _____________________

If you mean the hideous contortions you get in some poses the answer is no.
If you mean the texture stretch/run I think the answer is no. |

Second Life Viewer - VWR defective avatar model contains low polygon count in crotch region, resulting in deformed female genitalia and bad texture mapping (triangle cootie) the standard avatar mesh used throughout second life has a defect. the crotch region is about 10 points short of a bezier curve. in laymans terms... the thighs on real women aren't inverted and cavernous, but in reality they are pleasantly soft, smooth, warm, and smooshy. Sometimes they are cottage cheesy, but in the experience of a lifetime of examining human crotches, I and no one I have interviewed has ever encountered a woman with triangle cootie. Please address this problem for the good of cootie everywhere.  _____________________
