Hi..

I have seen avatars of babies... (well, toddlers i guess)...
liek tinies, but in human form...
i was goign to try and make one.,. but i dont understand how they get the head so low down...
i know how to hide the body.... but even when i make my body as small as i possibly can, the head is still too high up for it to be on a toddlers body...
does anyone know a way to make it lower please?

thankyou

The smallest possible avatar with slider changes is a 3'10" female. Anything smaller needs scripted animation overrides and prim parts.

A toddler would have to be done just like "Tiny". Full-prim body, and an AO that folds the actual body into a tiny ball. Look in the Building Tips forum for info on making Tiny avatars.

Sounds like you need a full animation override, like a tiny, where it is possible to deform the avatar mesh. You could try posting on the animation forum as someone there is more likely to have the knowledge of this. I've not done anything like this myself, so I am not sure what is involved and would be glad to know myself.

It's done, like many have noted, with an AO to shrink down the body, much like a tiny is done.
