This tutorial is rated as - 1 computer - easy to achieve

You'll need the following software - Second Life

You'll need the following hardware - See the Second Life website for minimum requirements.

Although when registering you choose a starting look, you can easily customise or completely change the way your avatar looks later. If you keep to the default look, you may run into your doppelganger in-world as everyone has to choose from the very limited list when registering.

To change your avatar's appearance, right click the avatar and select Appearance. A window will open where every aspect of your appearance can be changed. You can even change your gender so be warned that you can't assume that the person behind an avatar is necessarily of the same gender!
