	~~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. For example, this guy's head is missing and his clothes are black. That can't be good:

	~~First, check your graphics card to make sure it's supported and the drivers are up~~-to-~~date. [[graphics card\|Learn more.]]~~

	Also, move the Second Life Viewer onto your primary monitor, or change your primary monitor in your computer's display control panel. Sometimes having the Viewer on your secondary monitor can mess up graphics.

	~~If the problem still persists:~~

	~~# Go to '''Edit''' > '''Preferences'''.~~
	~~# Click '''Graphics''' tab and check '''Custom''' to show additional options.~~
	~~# Uncheck '''Hardware Skinning'''.~~
	~~#: [[File:Hardware_Skinning_off.png\|640px]]~~
	~~# Click '''OK" button to confirm, and see if that resolves the issue. You may also need to restart the Viewer.~~

	~~''Why, you're looking a lot better, Mister!''~~

	~~If there are still glitches on your avatar, try [[rebaking textures]].~~
