[@JocSlowed]

how do you take away the default eyes and add your own ?

[@BostonB]

@@JocSlowed You need to be wearing an alpha which hides the system eyes. I wear one from the Lelutka head folder which says "BOM Head/Body, Applier Eyes". And then just attach your new eyes. I have a new tutorial coming out next week which will show you how to do this, if you're still stuck

Gorgeous Greg transformation is the bomb! From being a cool guy walking down the street with his yellow stereo playing BeeGees' Staying Alive to being a much cooler, much improved head turner Oslo. Your tutorial is the one I have followed in transforming my very own avatar and I have no regrets watching and internalizing everything that you said on that video. There's nothing I can say more that I haven't said before about your videos...but meh, I'm gonna say them again: Your videos are very informative, detailed and definite help to those who are starting in Second Life. Every tip - small or big - always make a huge difference and always are appreciated. Thanks Boston Sensei! 🙇 🙇 🙇 🙇 🙇

I don't really watch SL Vlogger videos much or comment on KZbin videos. After finding this video by accident I was happy to see the nice amount of male content. I just had to leave a comment saying it is much appreciated. I can now show this tutorial to my brother when he does return after being absent for some time. I have a lot on my plate so I don't always have the patience to teach and shop. This will be very helpful.

[@georgemorrone5002]

Great tutorial, good recommendations. I agree with what you said about Lelutka's customer service. I was trying an all-BOM avatar, but when I removed the eyes alpha, it looked like the system hair showed. I asked on Lelutka's Discord channel, and quickly got the problem diagnosed and an easy solution, the problem was with Not Found's Russel eye brow shaper! A couple of simple edits of the brow shaper, and all was good.

[@BostonB]

Yes, they're really helpful and awesome. It's great to see a successful SL brand putting their customers first, even with the design of their heads. Thanks for the feedback, George!

[@whiskeydark8011]

There is a glitch/bug with the lel heads at times. Even if you switch between evo and evo x one face has hair all over and the other has the face upside down when applying BOM on both body and head. Until today they never fixed this. Catwa has a reset all button which cleans all addons and restores the head to its default state. Lel head doesn't have a way to reset the head to default state. You can get any Lel head and play around with the demo. But if something went wrong and you decide to delete the head it wont matter. Getting a new demo head will still have the errors saved from the last one. Lelutka heads are the best "looking" right now in SL but functionality is more important. From a range of mesh heads to choose in SL catwa may not look the best but its a better head integrating with BOM and appliers. As for Lel transitioning their heads from evo to evo x confusing the mapping in the system its best to wait a few months until all of SL settles for evo x and leaves evo behind.

[@BostonB]

Hey, I've never come across this glitch and I switch between lots of different Lelutka heads. To be honest, it sounds like user error. The only time I've seen this is if you accidentally have BOTH and Evo and EvoX layer on your head - it won't work. You can only have one or the other. In the advanced menu, you can reset everything.

Thanks for the tips. Been around Second Life for over 17 years now yet I have no idea what I'm doing with the mesh bodies but lol. Have to say that legacy severely lacks clothes, which I found out the hard way after my purchase yesterday 😟

[@BostonB]

Hey, no problem. I've never come across that issue with Legacy. I'd say it's one of the most popular bodies to rig for. I show hundreds of creators on my channel who all make clothing for Legacy. Is there a brand in particular you're referring to?

Wow amazing transformation but way way to quick for me ! Also the cost is going to be quite a put off for most, although I guess you get what you pay for I have a Belleza Jake body and CaTWa head, but now you have me wanting a Legacy body which is way way more expensive than Belleza and a Lelutka head ! Oh my god lol not to mention skins, shapes etc! But totally enjoyable video 👍🏻

[@BostonB]

Thank you John! I try and make my video tutorials straight to the point otherwise people lose their attention on KZbin haha. So the beauty of videos is that you can always pause and practice. That’s how I usually digest tutorials. But thank you for the feedback - I appreciate it. I often post sales and gifts videos where you can buy a lot of this stuff cheap. But yes there is certainly a small investment if you want a high quality male avatar on second life. Thanks for watching!

Great help to create my first mesh avatar :) Nevertheless a steep learning curve. Still lots of questions. What when I like to buy Cesar, just Evo skin from Stray Dog as well?

Loving your videos very helpful.

I've retried many times and the same happens. Appreciate any tips. Thanks in advance.

[@BostonB]

Hey, thanks John. If you turn Orange, it sounds like maybe you don't have another alpha on. Check your layers to see which alpha you have. I have one named "Bom Head & Body with Applier Eyes". Also check that you definitely have the body skin layer on.

[@johnunsworth6813]

@@BostonB Hey Boston thanks for your reply. Im using one alpha and is the one you have suggested. I have added a Not Found skin for Eon but still showing as orange. When I look in 'Worn' I can see the Not Found Skin, but also the Stray Dog Apolo Leletuka Evox skin. Im using Firestorm and do not have an option to remove the Stray Dog skin from my outfit. Any thoughts extremely welcomed. Thanks in advance.

[@BostonB]

I’m happy you discovered my channel - thank you! :)

[@NiechoSL]

Hey, Boston, hope you'd be able and willing to explain something for me. For oneself, it's easier to buy a shape from those who know a lot about creating shapes-- I recommend you and Tivoli to other guys. But I have TEN dance alts that I use to choreograph dance routines; LeLutka offered the free heads, so I equipped them all, but they have classic bodies except for one that I use for photography & pose creation. I equip the same male shape and the same female shape on all dancers to they can be used on just about any production I'd create. I was hoping you might be able and willing to explain something: when you right click and create a shape in your inventory, it doesn't have as many slide options as those you would buy. Why is that? How do you get all of the sliders to fine tune things?

[@BostonB]

Hi Niecho, you should have all of the same shape settings as any that you buy - it’s a universal system. Obviously the male and female shape sliders will differ slightly and you can toggle between male and female in the top right of the shape editing box

[@NiechoSL]

Hey Boston, Currently I am using the Catwa Viktor head and I am looking getting a LEL head as they are always up ton date and have amazing textures. I was wondering if there is a way to keep my overall facial look/aesthetic except with a more realistic upgrade of it?

[@BostonB]

Hey, yes it's possible but really depends on how you define that look. The Lelutka heads all have different characteristics. It's really the combination of head, skin and shape which creates unique looks.

only trouble i have with this is where to find them in the store, there are too many to look at and find

[@BostonB]

What are you looking for?

[@CViking0508]

I'm curious if you happen to know any shapes that are not over 7 foot tall. I've seen some great shapes around but always seem to be the giant SL size. I know most of the default avatars show up around 6'6". I want something around that height but no one lists the size of their avatars when buying a new shape and last couple I have bought are 7'8" or 7'10" where my wife is around 6' tall in game and would like our animations to line up better.

[@BostonB]

There's not really a set standard for heights in Second Life. My avi could look like a dwarf or a giant depending on where or who I'm next to. For shapes, I focus more on whether I like the facial dimensions. The body can easily be adjusted by changing the 'Body Height' 'Leg Length' and 'Torso Length' in the sliders.

Very informative and useful.....if you have linden dollars, but I'm a new player with 0$ and don't know how to get linden dollars (unless I pay real money which I won't because I'm finding SL to be to complicated and not rewarding enough) Now Real Life is complicated, I don't like a "game" to reflect that, but SL does. It's frustrating, confusing, and stressful. A "game" should be a place to unwind and relax....right?

[@BostonB]

Hey thanks for your messages - I read both of them. I completely understand your point of view, and yes there's no denying that creating premium looking male avatars costs some lindens. Female avatars tend to have more low-cost alternatives. There are still some cheap options for Men and perhaps I can cover that in another video. Perhaps you could learn to create something in Second Life, or provide a service to earn lindens. Many people do that as an income.

[@michaelmerritt793]

@@BostonB I would love to learn to create, but I wouldn't even know where to begin. Also, I wouldn't even know what services to provide or even where to find them. I'm a total newb at this, sorry.

[@BostonB]

Hey Steve, hmm there’s not really an easy answer to be honest. Since there is no benchmark in SL. Sometimes I think my avi is reasonably tall, but then I go to a shopping event and look like a dwarf lol. I think the best bet is going with what you’re comfortable with. There’s always going to be shorter and taller Avis than yours

Looks amazing! How much L$ do I need to spend to create a decent body? Barthez Swords

[@BostonB]

Thanks! When I first started, I just bought a Legacy body and Lelutka head. This came to around 9k lindens. I used the skins which were included but soon upgraded to BOM skins by Stray Dog and Not Found. So that was around 1500 lindens. There are cheaper heads and bodies but in my experience these are the better ones. And once you have the body and head, that’s a one-time investment. Last December Lelutka had a free male head available for a week. It’s quite rare to get free male heads (of high quality) but maybe they’ll do it again this year

Another great video Boston. I'm female but I always watch your videos for all kinds of awesome information. My male alt could do with a Legacy body to match his Lelutka EvoX head so I am leaving his name for the draw. CalumStuart Resident.

Thank you Jaz! I’m pleased that my videos are helping you. Thanks for entering and best of luck! ⭐️

[@tammirenae5539]

can you please do a female avi tutorial? there are none as easy to understand as this one.

[@BostonB]

I’m pleased you enjoyed it and felt it was easy to understand. What kind of things would you like me to cover for a female avi tutorial?

[@ladyveil9021]

What an excellent tutorial, also very relaxing 😌

[@BostonB]

Thank you so much, your words mean a lot🙏

I can't put on both my BOM head skin and BOM body skin at the same time. When I put on one, it removes the other.. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

[@BostonB]

Hey you need to right-click and “Add”. If you double click or click “wear” it will replace the item you had on previously

[@bamse7958]

​@@BostonB Blaisdale you rock! Your tutorial are top shelf, and you're a great host! I managed to fix the issue thou! I was using Legacy masculine, lelutka alain evo x and then stray dog caio evox head skin (demo) and legacy masculine skin (demo). When i tried combining them, the body skin would collide with another skin (was it system avatar?) or the items would replace each other. I ended up buying the skins on the off chance that owning the items would fix it, and it worked lol. I also tried adding items instead of wearing them, but to no avail.

HOW do you do a HEAD DEMO in the store?????????????????????

[@BostonB]

Just click the demo button. I show it in my newest video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX-xnX2cjqd0qrssi=FKGwhQQO1AwS_1u5

[@BillyFunks]

@@BostonB ty, but that vid didnt show how to do a demo like i asked. How do you do a demo in the store is my question. eg, walk into Llutka store and walk up and clik a head demo and then begin to put that demo on etcccc

[@Tomahawk1999]

Boston i really need your help with an avatar!!!

[@BostonB]

Hey what do you need help with?

[@darcydoll437]

Awesome tutorial!! I'm trying to help out a friend, and really had no clue how to source out great things for guys. His SL name is ByzantineLux. He could really use a mesh body. 😁 I had told him about Signature, but Legacy could be worth trying. Thanks again.

[@BostonB]

Thank you so much! You’re a good friend for helping your friend haha. I also received some help with a few things when I joined - SL can have a steep learning curve with so many variables! Good luck for the giveaway! :)

[@alexandrecardoso4075]

nice video, you are so perfect Blaisdale

[@BostonB]

You’re so kind, thank you! 😊
