there needs to be a appearence slider for ribcage size. i have a small av and it looks kind of weird with a big ribcage but currently thats as small as i can get it. A setting for the ribcage size would make it easer for ppl with small avs to make themselves look right. if your small and you have big pecks it looks more like boobs because the rib cage is too long.

Those are some freakish looking rib cages when you're working on a small avatar, aren't they?

My Daleks have a dwarfish avatar inside, locked down with a motorcycle_sit script to keep the hands and head from bobbing out of the Dalek shell when typing, but they are certainly some freakish and scary looking avatars inside those shells!

Appropriate for what is supposed to actually be inside a Dalek I guess...just not in the same style.

I have to agree. :( A good idea would be to have a slider for bone structure in general.. it seems like there is one, somehow.. so why not have it tinkerable. Dae's always looked weird with his bones portruding out... and he's literally the average height of a normal person (he's like 5 feet 7 inches--I've measured using prims)... still, because he isn't buff, it's like his skeleton is oozing out of his body.

I endorse this product and/or service.

My chibi Nergal AV looks pretty funky -- I've been making her look more tubby to fix the rib cage problem, but things still stretch oddly where the ribs meet the shoulders and so forth.

This would be great for letting me have a more realistic chibi AV. :/

dang nabbit.. had an idea kind of like this for a console game.. ends up getting MUCH more complicated, i've been keeping zipper-lipped about my ideas because i haven't seen any game (or otherwise) use such a system as i have dreamt.

but i think SL could use my idea more than i will.. i probably won't ever make the game i'm thinking of (seeing as how i'm not a programmer).. so, i should put together something to show LL.

crap

my idea is going to end up being shown to a company for a game that isn't mine.. but.. i.. can't.. resist...

i'll have to draw it up and i'll end up posting it on a secret web-page or something for LL to peruse.

crap

:rolleyes:

I endorse both the rib cage slider and bone structure slider ideas/features.

Yup, I think its about time someone fixed those weird looking avs, or allowed us to fix them ourselves.

And a waist slider, too. The only way I can change my waistline is by giving myself a big gut or increasing body fat. It's really weird.

Doesn't some combo of increasing hip width and decreasing love handles work, Catherine?
