Second Life Scale

[andygates]

Just a quicky: In SL, does anyone know how to tweak an avatar to a physical size?  For example, making an avvie six feet tall - it's not obvious from the unitless sliders for each body part in the avatar editor.  Indeed it can't be, because there isn't one for, say, "chest" - the chest parameters (chest, muscularity, fatness, shoulder width) are arbitrary and the chest size is an emergent property of them.

I've seen plenty of gadgets which report back an avatar's height, usually in clothing shops.  They usually startle me with the cartoony hugeness of yer vanilla avatar (apparently it's because the camera is so far away).  I wonder if a thing exists that can do a full stat report?

The main height problem is that 'leg length' and 'height' both contribute to height. But, if you know what height a Leg0 height0 avatar is, and what a leg100 height100 is, and the 0/100 variants you can work out the ratio Bottom to top.

Then, you 'just' need to retool the XML for the appearance screen in the open source viewer software to display absolute avatar height based on slider position.
