You can always get a new skin later if you want to customize more or just change up your look.Īlso, Boston Blaisdale on Youtube does lots of videos about how to put together a male avatar, so check those out You would only need to pick up a body skin in a similar tone from a skin store, so that can save you a bit of cash when you start out. You could save a little money if you get a Lelutka head (I would suggest one of the Evolution heads, those are the newer ones.) because the base facial skins that come with the head are excellent. And you cannot return or exchange items in SL, due to the way the permissions on products works, so be absolutely sure the items is what you want before you spend. I've seen so many people buy things without demoing and then only after they realize the item doesn't actually work for their setup and they wasted money. Do not drop cash just because something looks good in an ad. You can demo your head, body, hair and skin all at once to be sure the entire look is what you want. Demo everything thoroughly before you buy anything. I just want to add DEMO DEMO DEMO DEMO ALWAYS DEMO. This will avoid you making mistakes and spending $ unnecessarily. You can get demos of all products in the stores and put your avatar together, until you achieve the looks you want.

Demo the head with body, skins, hair and so on. If you decide to go for first-rate items, demo everything before you start making purchases. Alternatively, you could go with an older/cheaper AO, and pair it with a hand AO to provide movements for your hands I'd recommend this one, it is inexpensive, looks natural, and is unisex. Both of them offer good AOs with Bento animations.

Once you decide on the head skin, get the body skin from the same store and in the same tone, to avoid neck seams in your avatar.įor animation overrides, I'd suggest either Vista or Body Language. If you go with Lelutka, their heads offer two options EvoX and Evo I'd recommend using EvoX, as EvoX skins have higher resolution compared to Evo (older generation).įor skins, if you are going for first-rate mesh bodies and heads, I'd suggest going to Not Found, Stray Dog and Clef de Peau to look at what looks are available in the stores, and decide which skin you'll get. Again, higher price does not necessarily mean better product. Catwa (L$5900) is the other major player in the market. If you prefer a free mesh body, a few of the options available are the Classic Meshbody, DNA and Altamura.įor mesh heads, my recommendation is Lelutka (L$3990), as they've been very successful in the past years, which translates into wide support from other creators. Please note that higher price does not necessarily mean better product in SL. Let us know what your budget is, and we'll be able to better advise you.įor instance, for first-rate mesh bodies, your recommended options are Signature Gianni (L$4000), Belleza Jake (on sale at L$1500) and Legacy (L$5000). Alternatively, you can use free or very inexpensive items, but will have a harder time customizing your avatar, will be limited in the looks you can achieve, and will be limited in terms of clothing availability. What is the budget you've allocated to create your avatar? You can invest some $ and purchase first-rated products to customize your avatar to get the look that you want, and ease of finding clothing and accessories later. I do not expect anything in return.īasically you'll need to get a mesh head, a mesh body, a head skin, a body skin, hair, and an animation override (AO). I've helped others, and would not mind helping you.

If you still have questions or face problems, I can help you inworld. I'd recommend you configuring your avatar to use BOM, as that is what people are moving towards and new products use BOM instead of the older methods. And here is a second tutorial to understand what Bakes On Mesh (BOM) mean. This is a good tutorial to understand how to customize your avatar using a mesh body and head.

Welcome to SL, and glad that you are enjoying it enough to consider start customizing and creating your own unique avatar!
