animal avatars

How do you make your avatar look like an animal like a fox, tiger etc? I'm new here, and saw some like that, but I can't find out how to do it, didn't see andy info in the forum on it. Is it imports/attachments? Or do I just need to play with those slide bars for hours on end? Thanks for any info you can give me.

Hi Fenriz,
It's all build inworld with Prims and attached to the avatar, and the textures on the prims are create in photoshop(ex.) and uploaded.
It is not possible to import your own Meshes.

Ah, I see, thought it might be, I read something about meshes and why they can't be imported and such a little while ago. I'll have to go and check out all the build stuff and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the help.

If you go to Furnation's Sandbox, they have, like, a minitutorial in one of the corners. I think the Sandbox is "Furnation Vista."

That should help you at least get familiar with some of the prims and I think Selkit Diller has a demonstration there of how he made his foxen head.

there are many vendors aroud that offer the avatars as well. some areas like furnation offer free basic avatars. good to see how they are built
