warning: flaming noob
hey, i JUST registered for second life and am trying to create an avatar. i am an experienced 3D artist, but i'm wanting to know how i can use that expeience, as i don't know the first thing about second life. my main question is: can i import a mesh/texture to be my avatar from an external program(like maya), and what specifications i need to know(file type, importer/export, bone locations, ect). if this is imposible, what do i do to create a custom avatar?

Kit, your human avatar shape must be customized in-world.
This means right-clicking yourself, choosing appearance and using the sliders to make your desired shape.
Now, if you want a more elaborate avatar in terms of shape there are literally TONS of avatars you can buy (e.g. Mecha, furry/anthro, cartoon character, etc.) that use prims (in-world building blocks) for shape creation. Or you can learn to build and create something unique of your own.
