just hope that this is the right place for my question,


i bought my recent body shape month ago and with lots of tweaking and adjusting manage to create pretty nice avi, but now i would like to buy another shape which is very much different than created one.......will i loose all my appearance settings from the existing shape when wear the new one?........or is it possible to change shapes with saving all the appearance settings and get back to the old one anytime or is the appearance settings lost for good once you change to another shape?

many thanx,

sh.

As long as you keep a copy of your original shape, you can maintain its settings.

Essentially, shapes are like prims - if you tweak your only copy, its original settings are gone. But you can make a copy and tweak the copy, or you can make a totally new one from scratch, and either way your original remains unchanged.

To find your existing shape, open your Inventory, type 'worn' in the text box at the top, and hit return. This will list all the inventory items that you're wearing, and show you which folder they're in. Look for an item with a 'head in a box' symbol beside it. Unless you have an asset with a buggy icon, you should have exactly one worn item with a 'head in a box' symbol.
(To resume normal inventory, clear the text box and hit return.)

To make a new shape from scratch, open your Inventory. In the Create menu, select Body Parts, then Shape.

The new shape will appear in your Body Parts folder. Right click on it and select Wear, and you'll discover that you're in the default shape - a thin, not especially pretty female. Use appearance mode as normal to edit this shape.

You will then be able to swap between your old shape and your new shape by dragging the shape icons onto your avatar, or right clicking and selecting wear on the shape you want to be.
