I'm currently building a macro (figgin huge) furry avatar model for free distribution. I do, however, ahve one question:

Do i need special scripts or something for the avatar? i'm simply basing this assumption on the fact that the only macro AV that you can buy costs 1000L$ and must be loaded with something...

any help on this subject (knowledge of how to build a macro AV, scripts supplied...) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! ^.^

If I'm reading you right, you're basically talking about a furry mech, a giant robot constructed by attaching oversized body parts to your avatar, and it happens to look furry. People have been doing that sort of thing in SL for a long time (although I haven't seen a furry one before) so the good news for you is there's established technique for how to do it.

You'll need an animation override to position the real avatar correctly inside the mech attachments, and make it move properly to accommodate the extended limbs. Otherwise, the avatar will do things like walk on the ground (normally) and the huge leg attachments will end up underground.

There used to be a really cheap mech DIY kit floating around. I can't remember off hand who made it. I'll search my inventory when I get a chance, and see who it was. If you can get a copy for yourself, it should help you tremendously to see how this kind of thing is done.

I've seen two giant furries. One was a roughly 35M tall babyfur, with bright red fur and a short skirt. But as far as I could see, the body was rigit. She just sort of flew around. I didn't get a very close look at that one, it appeared in the sim and flew away again pretty fast.

Alynna Vixen has been working on a gigantic Kitsune / vixen avatar, abaout 30 M tall. You may want to contact her.
