Okay so here is what going on.. until recently I didn't had any issues with SL but now.. Whenever I tried to put a primskirt on it just puts it up WAY too high or with hair it just appears bold on one side.

And it's only for my character, the other characters i see look perfect and no issues there.. so its only the rendering of my char that is bugged.. Other people see me normal and the things look good according to them.

I tried playing with the settings a bit to see if it would fix it but that's a no go.. Anyone else experiencing this issue? And does anyone know how to fix it?

Here an example of what i mean

The hair looks fine on my friends PC but here it shows odd:


The skirt is supposed to be nicely tucked under the shirt but its not..

Have you tried rebaking the textures? If not, here's how:

Ctrl-Alt-D brings up the Debug Menu
in the Client menu, select Character
in the Character menu, at the bottom is rebake textures, click on this to redo your AV.

that will reload your avatars texture. We build our avatars look in layers but it is translated to other people's computers as a single image; that is why we look different to others than to ourselves (kinda like RL).

Anyway, that is what I do when I have the dreaded bald patch or I'm Ruthed or my clothes are awry.

Good luck, hope this helps.

Yes i did that but it seems like it has no effect on me.. :\

It was fine until i changed to the new viewer build.. Since then it's been acting up but i dont know if thats the problem.

Check, preference / graphic details ,

Object mesh detail + Avatar Mesh detail
should be max or you can see things like this,
not sure if it'll got reset or do anything for 'till try tho.

LOD in sl is getting uglier and uglier o.o i dont know it if its just me but i think avatars look blockier then they used to be, round is now sharp edges especially on face.
