[[Image:Ruth.jpg|thumb|right|100px|The original Ruth]]''Ruth is dead. Long live the Ruth!''

'''"Ruth" was the codename for the default loading [[avatar]], a woman with a mullet who terrified many [[Resident]]s.''' When Ruth was combined with other avatar elements, such as prim hair or beards, the results could be particularly bizarre. [http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=secondlife%20ruth&w=all Pictures prove it did happen!] If you're grimacing, you've been touched by Ruth! Be not afraid... as of Second Life 1.20, she's gone at last, faded into the annals of history, and [[10_Things_You_Want_to_Know_in_Your_new_1.20_Viewer#7._Incomplete_avatars_are_shown_as_a_cloud|replaced with a particle cloud]]. Dubbed "Ruth 2.0", but Torley wishes that name would sink altogether.

Thanks to '''[[User:Brent_Linden|Brent Linden]]''', who created said artistic effect, for the following resources:

== Make yourself a cloud ==
Only you'll see yourself this way:

* [[Advanced menu]] > Character > Force Params to Default

[[Image:Cloudruth.jpg|512px|none|thumb|"I see cloud people!"]]

Relog to reset back to your normal avatar.

== Cloud texture and particle parameters ==
Easiest: '''[http://slurl.com/secondlife/Stillman/132/73/23/ get Ruth 2.0 inworld at the Stillman Free Bazaar!]''' It's a fully-permissive object. Have View menu > Highlight Transparent on if you find it hard to select the invisible sphere.

Or... '''[http://torley.s3.amazonaws.com/blob2.tga download the original texture]'''; you'll need to use it with this '''script''':

== Reanimate old Ruth ==
To '''bring old Ruth back to life''', go to [[Advanced menu]] > Debug Settings and set "RenderUnloadedAvatar" to TRUE.

Alternatively, open your [[Inventory]], go to Library folder > Clothing > More Outfits > Ruth, then drag and drop the folder on your avatar.

Ruth ''spirit'' can also be seen when people are clouded. Activate ''Particle Sources'' and ''Render Highlights'' in View > Beacons (or {{KeyCombo|ctrl=*|alt=*|shift=*|N}}) when you see a cloud hovering by.
