Iris Ophelia has some tips for creating close-up fashion pics for Blue Mars avatars -- basically, by using Blue Mars' makeup editor button, which gives you more camera options for shooting your avatar. Much more here.

Wrong blog, we don't need to know how to work around the camera in Blue mars. We have the Second Life camera and it's pretty epic. You should try it.

I'm not trying to pile on here, because I don't mind the Blue Mars stuff, but that face-shot put me smack-dab into the Uncanny Valley. Creeeeeeepie!

@Ignatuis And I think I've figured out why. In both headshots in this post and the last, the avatar's eyes are parallel. They're gazing infinity far away. People don't do that, unless they're dead. Eyes really need to be focusing on something to reduce the creepy-factor.
