Ok, Im planning to make some rather tall avatars (6 metres +) and am in a bit of a quandry about what to do on my body height. Is there a way to make ur body taller than the standard 3 (or so) metres?

From memory, I made my avatar like 7' tall, mainly because I used to get neck ache looking up at all the tall guys/gals in SL, I used 100% in the legs, torso, and other height related settings. I think, setting 100% in a certain way, doesn't automatically readjust the other settings to 'balance' them back to less than 100%.

Hello Heffa, 6 metres + huh? I think I read that the Ivory Tower of Prims have a section whatever on avatar creation. Alternatively you could grab some of the freebie avatars at Yadni's or other freebie place and investigate their construction. Many are simply near-normal avatars with suits on but some have large limbs etc which might be informative.

I believe you need an AO that lifts your avatar up to a certain height in all the animations - then build the prims around the AV.

Thanks for the feedback guys
 I've gone thru Ivory Tower. They do have some good av suggestions, but nothing on bodies (at least not that I could find). I was wondering about it mainly after seeing stuff like the Rancor av in Furious Star Wars range, and the AT-ST av on SL Exchange. After seeing these in action it seems that they just do what Colette mentiond; raising the body up into the torso and attaching the unarticulated leg modules to the feet. The idea Im trying to grab is doing a Transformer or Battlemech av at scale height, and still being able to articulate the knees and feet. Guess its probably a bit beyond the limitations  |

The best you can get is to articulate the hips, shoulders, and neck, by that ao which raises your av up a few metres in the air.

These threads are about giant avatars.
