When you first fall into Second Life things are fairly intimidating. Oriana Neulinger second life Tao, idk if you got an answer or not, but I always make sure to get the scalp color, when possible, as close as possible to my hair color. That way, when your scalp shows through, it's less noticeable because it blends in. http://travelingavatar.quickanddirtytips.com/newbie-puberty-part-one-your-first-prim-hair.aspx?commentid=16514#Comments http://travelingavatar.quickanddirtytips.com/newbie-puberty-part-one-your-first-prim-hair.aspx?commentid=16514#Comments Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:12:54 GMT Gator Brown second life This week I’m asking for something a little different.

Ahhh Taoism jokes, I can never tell enough Taoism jokes. Anyway, try a few of these things on you hair and see if you can fix things.First, check and see if you're only getting baldspots on one side of your head. If you are, you may just need to "Position" the hair instead of stretching it. If it's sparse on the left, just move it a little to the left.Secondly, a lot of the hairstyles in Second Life have had more teasing than a chubby, awkward kid who likes anime and who wanted to play drums in the school band but instead they made him play the Bells and noone else had to play the bells.... not that that was me, some other kid I know... Anyway, this is big hair, so you might not have made it it's correct size yet. Look at the sides, typically as long as it doesn't cover the ear, you can keep stretching it.If none of these seem to work, check with another player to make sure THEY see your scalp too. What may have happened is your system's "Draw Distance" is low, and so it's not drawing in parts of smaller objects at 15 meters. Let me know if any of this helps, and I'll keep thinking up more Taoism jokes. (Tao-Jones Industrial Average? Nah...)TA http://travelingavatar.quickanddirtytips.com/newbie-puberty-part-one-your-first-prim-hair.aspx?commentid=1495#Comments http://travelingavatar.quickanddirtytips.com/newbie-puberty-part-one-your-first-prim-hair.aspx?commentid=1495#Comments Wed, 14 Mar 2007 22:33:14 GMT Tao Lyne second life Once, again, thank you. I eagerly await your every podcast. I just have to be careful where I am when I listen. My laugh is never quiet, and you're podcast always gets me roaring. If you write your own material, you're brilliant. If you're stealing it, you're no less brilliant for a delivery that is so convincingly on target.Once again, I listened to your cast several times and finally broke down and bought my first prim hair. It was you're pitch for GuRl6Hair that convinced me. I have a difficult time splurging on items, but have come to understand that it affects the way others perceive me in SL, just as in RL, if not more so.After a bit of browsing, a half hour of tweaking, I have something workable. A bit more tweaking and it might look natural.I was disappointed with the demos though. None of them were modifiable, so, if they don't fit your out of the box, you'll have no idea what they look like. My head is apparently a little big, because most of the hair disappeared under my scalp.I splurged anyway based on the photo, figuring I'd get it working.a question, why is it that my hair looks fine from within 5 meters, but from any farther, my scalp shows through. It was that way with the SL hair, I was hoping it would be fixed with the prim hair. Do I really have to adjust my hair from 15 meters away?Any more tips to get rid of that pesky distance scalp. http://travelingavatar.quickanddirtytips.com/newbie-puberty-part-one-your-first-prim-hair.aspx?commentid=1494#Comments http://travelingavatar.quickanddirtytips.com/newbie-puberty-part-one-your-first-prim-hair.aspx?commentid=1494#Comments Wed, 14 Mar 2007 04:49:20 GMT Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:12:54 GMT http://travelingavatar.quickanddirtytips.com/newbie-puberty-part-one-your-first-prim-hair.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
