Ok, I just uploaded the latest release candidate cause I wanted to check out windlight, and now all the avatars are all f-ed up. It looks like they all have an "editing appearance" version of themselves hovering overtop of themselves and they are melting, the video is totally jacked up. Is this on my end or is the viewer fubar'd.

Sounds like it's on your end...what do you mean by "editing appearance version of themselves hovering overtop of themselves and they are melting?"

I mean, that when any avatar is on my screen, there is a second avatar above it, with it's arms spread wide as if in edit appearance mode. The images are all messed up, the colors are streaming down from the outstretched arms causing to look like it's melting.

And this is on the Release Candidate? You know that Windlight is on the standard viewer now, right? What's it look like on the latest standard viewer?

I'm not technically skilled, but I'll try.

Put it up on Flickr or someplace like that and then send us a link; you won't be able to add attachments here.

Oh weird. This happened to someone here a couple weeks ago (and there was a pic). The person solved their problem but I don't remember how...

Yes, search for "shredded", "tattered," or "scarecrow" and you will find the previous thread. I know because my brother had the same problem and I came and found the solution for him here. :D The solution was: turn off the "hardware skinning" option in graphics preferences. You may have to check the "custom" tickbox to find the hardware skinning option.

Found the thread. It's something about 'hardware skinning.' Look for kitty barnett's post.

And here I was thinking that the messiah had finally arrived to save SL.
