New Ruths for old?
Filed under: News items, Second Life
Qarl Linden says that he's finished work on a new Ruth for Second Life. Ruth is the default avatar mesh that is placed by the viewer when it is told that a new avatar has come into range. The viewer then requests specific appearance and texture data that provides the unique avatar visuals for that person.
When this process fails, you often wind up with a rather confusing mixture of the female Ruth model intermixed with some features of the unique avatar. Among Second Life users that's called "being Ruthed."
