Some people that I have talked to have experienced problems with their skins and clothing because of the introduction of the latest viewer.
I will try to share my some of my experience with you, so that you can learn how to solve some of these common problems.
Skins
PXL skins, both female and male, some are tintable. This means that that the texture has an alpha channel and is quite transparent.
This allows you to change the tone of the skin in Appearance. However this may mean you could experience some problems if you wear a poorly constructed “Bald” with the skin. Such problems could include:
1) shadowing over the eyebrows;
2) a strange face color;
3) strange color under the eyebrows; or
4) skin tone of the face being different tone to the rest of the body.
Please note, that you will not experience these problems if you use the full perm Bald that is included with the purchase of each PXL Creations skin. Each PXL Creations Bald controls the features of the eyebrows and the hairs (both color and size).
Please use the PXL Creations bald included with your skin purchase in order to avoid the aforementioned problems.
Skin/dresses
Some computers with a particular video card have problems managing paletized textures. This means that you may experience some problems viewing items of clothing or skin. You can fix this problem by undertaking the following steps:
* Press once only: CTRL+ALT+F7 or go to Menu Advanced > Rendering > Features and disable the Paletized Texture option.
* Then press CTRL+ALT+R to rebake.
If this does not resolve your issue, please clean your cache. To clean your cache, press CTRL+P. Then select the Network tab and press the blue Clean Cache button.
I hope this information has been of some use to you.
Please note, if you have a NVIDIA notecard with the latest driver you may experience some problems. Check the following link for further information: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-7957
