Developing a New Major

from SL book – ch4 – Your Avatar – Your Virtual Self

talks about how to save appearance – that’s important – show them some of my appearance folders to see how easy it is to switch (if there’s not too much lag), got to remember to do that right up front, start with the boring girl and boy next door avies (you get the bits for all the other avies in your inventory) – new is easiest to modify and easiest to be willing to replace

chapter walks them thru changing all kinds of things about their avatar – changing shape bit by bit, changing skin color, can also puton a skin like a shirt, can have tattoos (why i want htem to start with boy/girl nextdoor – they don’t have anything already turned on so we don’t have to figure out how to turn stuff off)

want to make changes – don’t want to look like a carbon copy newbie – appearance controls give you some variations, you can get free hair and skin and eyes or buy them to get even more individual look

talk about the clothes, pants and shirts meet at the waist

talks about attaching stuff to avie like glasses and hair and prim skirts – AOs get attached and so do HUDs
