Does anyone have a chart on editing your appearence as to matching it to RL.
When puting in the heght of stuff, you have 1-100 to use. what is that in RL?

There's no easy 1:1 comparison, because there are about 6 sliders that affect your overall height. I don't get so hung up on it, but I like to take jabs at the over-6'5" crowd. If you really want to know, you can poke at the inaccurate scripted height meters or find a scaled prim somewhere that you can stand in and eyeball it. (^_^)y

Also, most avs in SL are taller than people in RL. Unless you are 6'5" or better in RL, you will be a shortie if you scale your av to match your RL height.

Besides which, most builds are scaled larger than RL, even in comparison to the tall avatars. This is mostly because of the default camera follower point of view, 3m above and behind your av. The camera will tend to get stuck in the ceiling in a room with a normal 8-10 foot ceiling height.

My suggestion is to size yourself a few inches shorter than your boyfriend. This way, you will both fit on paired poseballs better.
