If not intentional (because Second Life avatars allow for a ''vast'' range of customization), this issue typically makes your avatar appear black or in otherwise bizarre colors. It may also show spikes, bumps, and other unsightly protrusions coming out of your body.
 
First, check your graphics card to make sure it's supported and the drivers are up-to-date. [[graphics card|Learn more.]]
 
If the problem still persists:
 
# Go to '''Edit''' > '''Preferences'''.
# Click '''Graphics''' tab and check '''Custom''' to show additional options.
# Uncheck '''Hardware Skinning'''.
# Click '''OK" button to confirm, and see if that resolves the issue. You may also need to restart the Second Life Viewer.
 
If there are still odd stripes, lines, or other glitches on your avatar, try [[rebaking textures]].
